If Clinton is a DINO...
 
then why do Republicans hate her so much?

If Sanders is a socialist, why does he only want to break up the banks and not nationalize them like we should?

If Bernie is bringing fresh blood into the party and energizing people who have never voted for a Democrat before, then do we really need to kowtow to them if we won the last two elections without them?

And since a Democrat won the last two presidential elections, how can we run an anti-establishment candidate? Has an incumbent party ever won the white house on an anti-establishment platform? Or by running a candidate who wanted to primary the leader of the party? That seems like a really mixed message to send to the public.

3. That hate is not limited exclusively to Republicans
 
by any stretch of the imagination.

Get out and ask around.

4. Of course not,
 
But it's something I see brought up a lot by Sanders supporters. Clinton can't win because the Republicans hate her so much that they'll be energized to turn out and vote against her. But at the same time she's just a Republican whose policies are no different from Trump or Cruz. I don't think you can have it both ways. She's definitely a moderate Democrat, but Republicans hate her because she has consistently been one of the most liberal senators.

7. The nationalization argument is a good one
 
Sanders is supposed to be so bold, yet he calls himself a socialist and has not proposed any nationalization of industry. If you really want big changes, nationalization is the key.

30. Nationalize the auto industry. Make it a non profit.
 
Free cars for everybody

DUmmy ContinentalOp has got to be a mole.

That is the first time in the history of the DUmp that the word "kowtow" has been used and spelled properly.

gNads would have written "cow toe", and argued with anyone who tried to correct her.
