Bernie Sanders should be the Democrat nominee

Winning states and broad support are not the same. Bernie has won states but they lack delegates. The population of the states he wins are usually small in comparison to the one Clinton wins. The pro side is trying to use this 20 out 43 states as a indicator of success while these states are all different and are not equal. Winning Iowa means practically nothing in the grand scheme of the election. That is the case for many states that Bernie has won. I would also add that the results do include some independent. If the primary is "open," than independents can vote; and in the states that had open primaries, Clinton wins all the same. The pro side also wants to move delegates around to suit his argument. Super delegates are a way for the establishment to have a say in the election. The current standing still shows Sanders lacking support from that establishment and the general public. I like Bernie, I do, but I like democracy more; and the democratic system that is in place is saying Clinton is going to win and thus "should" win. A Sanders presidency will have to face angry Republicans hell-bent on burning his legacy to the ground. Sanders does not have the luxury like Obama of democrats controlling Congress. Even if democrats take control of a house, Sanders lacks their support too. Clinton has been first lady, senator, and Sec. of State. That last one is a biggie because she knows the world leaders already and how to work with them. Sanders fails on foreign policy issues like most socialist. Sanders has said himself on the debate stage he openly criticized President Obama on our actions in the Middle East. In an October interview with MSNBC, he said Obama and Vice President Joe Biden "have done a damn good job," but that America needs "a course correction." In another MSNBC interview, Sanders suggested Obama has failed in closing "the huge gap" between Americans and Congress. He has said a lot on Obama and how he has failed liberals and progressives. His policies: Free College - College for All Act It sounds nice but even this savor like figure is lying to you. His plan does not really offer free college. It attempts to lower the price by getting the state and fed to work together on spending. It is close to the Affordable Care Act in that case, however, it is less generous and expects states to pay for a lot of the cost. Even if democrats take control of Congress, they are not taking all governorship positions. States have refused the medicare funding from the ACA and will block the CFA just the same. Wealth/income inequality - more taxes on rich Again, sounds nice to the middle class but still fails when it meats real life. Higher tax rates on individuals and corporations is the reason for them keeping funds overseas. That money could come in the US to stimulate the economy but current policies go against this. Sanders will only make this issue worse...the rich that we demand to pay more will simply leave and now we get none of that money. Min wage increase - 15$ To be honest, this is laughable. A increase that large on the Federal level will have devastating cost to our economy, and is not really needed on the Federal level. He also wants to spend billions to "help" the youth employment. Raising the min wage hurts black and youth Americans the most. Trade policies - isolationism He pretty much wants to do away with all major resent trade deals and go back to a more isolated time. Like many socialist, trade is a weak spot. He uses these deals as scapegoats for problems without understanding the point of trade and fails to grasp classical economic theory. He wants to expand social security, medicare and medicaid. He fails to explain how to pay for all this policies and just says the rich will pay for it. I agree we need change but Sanders is asking for too much too fast and will hurt the country when we lose all our tax dollars. The 1% pays for almost all of the income tax revenue already. I can go on and on about is ridiculous polices. I understand the appeal. He hits a nerve for many Americans that want change. But we need to be careful about how we do things. Clinton's polices are still progressiveness to a moderate degree and have a higher chance of passing congress.
