13337962, I don't like Bernie because he is old and unaccomplished and I question.

how effective he would be as President.

I think he benefitted a great deal from challenging the bequeathed Hillary Clinton. Now that he has a bigger group to be compared against he just doesn't seem that impressive.

Elizabeth Warren is a younger, shinier, more accomplished and even arguably more progressive version of Bernie. I can't see how anyone would go for Bernie over her (but can see it the other way around).

He may be on the right side of history on a lot of issues but nothing in his legislative history tells us he can get things done.


I question his electability as an old Jewish New Englander with regards to the rest of the country.

I see him and see George McGovern all over again.

If he is the nom I will of course vote for him but like Dukakis, Hillary, Mondale Kerry, I feel like if we nominate him and he loses we will be slapping our foreheads and go, what were we thinking?
