Too many stupid comments (anti-socialism, number of candidates, in-fighting)

I don't believe Bernie is as good as other candidates because his progressive points are a turn-off to the right and middle. He has lost the fire-in-the-belly or it no longer stands out as it did against Hillary. Also, his links to actual Communists have yet to be well publicized. They don't matter to me, but the midiots will eat it up. A progressive will not do well against Trump, and Bernie isn't the best/most competent of those.

Bernie could still come out on top if the other front-runners trip, but his odds against Trump seem even or worse to me. He is too willing to get buried in Health Care Plan details that bore people and are unrealistic to promise. That shows a lapse in political judgment.

The Democratic field are generally poor candidates for different reasons (age/looks (Biden/Sanders), weird behavior/mannerisms (Klobuchar, Wang, Harris, Delany, Castro, Beto), history/background (Harris, Buttigieg), extreme/goofy ideas(Warren, Inslee, Wang, Booker, Gabbard)), know-nothing/assholes (Harris, Gillibrand, Ryan, Brown, Delany, Murphy, Cuomo, Hickenlooper, Patrick, DeBlasio)).

Isn't there anyone who is seriously bright but clever enough to stick to a script the majority can stomach? It really is too much to ask because, according to my hypothesis of social selection, only egomaniacs can tolerate today's politics, and that's a shitty litmus test.

I hate to say this, but in part he is right.
Looking from abroad the democratic party is a disjointed, disunited mess, ... a party with no clear direction, no clear leader to define the direction and .... all too busy winning a nomination to drive forward toward what should be an open goal presidential win ... but unless they get their act together there is no hope of defeating trump

It is all very laughable, especially the part about who will actually get the nomination, and even more so because it does not matter at all. Both democrat and republican are two wings from the same old corporate loving, war-for-profit-loving, money grubbing whores, and voting for one or the other is a true exercise in futility. You could elect a chimpanzee, and get similar results.

I'm 100% on agreement with this young man.

once the raging idiot started railing on socialism I turned it off. once some of his ilk actually learns what socialism is then we can talk. right now it's just a "bad word" that they don't understand at all. and if you're with them you don't either.

Millennials will turn out in droves for the primaries, but if the nominee isn't attractive to them they won't show up for the general. Exactly what happened to Hillary. Plus, in my opinion Hillary didn't and doesn't know how to run a campaign. Her delivery at rallies, speeches, and debates was horrible. Even though I voted for her, rallies and speeches were like listening to nails on a chalkboard. I think Elizabeth Warren is heading in that same direction even though I think she would do better than Hillary.
