Ultimately, no. Once NH is done and we move on to S. Carolina I think things will fade a bit...

Some of his ideas I like, but he can't win a general. Electorally, he would probably on carry 10 or so states, and likely not the big ones needed. Sorry Nebe

That's what I thought, but I was basing that thought, on th efcat that he was 20 points behind her in national polls. He seems to have eliminated much of that. Will that translate into success in the south? I don't know. But I cannot believe how fast he narrowed that gap.

"but he can't win a general. Electorally, he would probably on carry 10 or so states, and likely not the big ones needed"

Also agreed. i don't think he could even beat Trump in a general. You can count my state of CT amongst the 10 he'd win, however.

Bryan, Sadly I agree. Although folks are fed up with the same old same old that HC brings to the table, the majority of voters are unwilling to understand what social democracy is and how it works in many developed nations. I will vote for the lesser of two evils which may be HC but would rather it be Bernie. BTW, watch Jeb Bush as this process moves forward…

I suspect Republican candidates never have a chance with you since you only mention Hillary or great grandpa Sanders.
