I like Bernie but he would have been exposed and behind in the polls by now.

They would effectively paint Bernie as a socialist and inexperienced on foreign policy and would have been able to convince the public it needed a more ready Commander in Chief against Isis and Syria.

They would have took apart his free college for everybody proposal by making it seem so infeasible economically that it would look like a fairytale proposal that could never happen.

He would have been too far Left for Independents to get behind in those swing states that Clinton seems to be holding.

That being said, I think Clinton would have lost to McCain in 2008. Her war vote and and being a woman with no foreign policy experience would have doomed her. Her being a former Secetary of State is the great evener for her.
