Hillary Clinton
Related: About this forumIs Bernie the new Mondale?
Mondale was the last Democrat to run on raising taxes on the middle class. He won one state. That would have been Bernie's fate if he had been able to win the nomination. Fortunately he wasn't able to pull it off.

(9,494 posts)Two very different things. Bernie's ideology is extreme. Most of his supporters don't even understand how much.

(3,853 posts)That would virtually guarantee that he would lose to Trump. Also...Do the college students who are singing his praises realize that even if he were able to accomplish that (in La La Land), they would be out of college and having their own taxes raised to pay for someone else "free college" by the time any of that would come to fruition? They seem to be pretty selfish and if they are only thinking about themselves....Why are they stuck on Sanders? Frankly, I think some are just into the "Sanders Fad". It's the cool think to do if you are 19.

(2,032 posts)...just think how much better off we would all be if he had unseated St. Ronnie. Mondale would have been a good president. About the only positive thing I can say about Bernie is that he'd be better than tRump. It is so good that the last sentence can be offered in the subjunctive mood.
