Even after a virtual tie in Iowa and a landslide victory for Bernie Sanders in New Hampshire the idea that somehow Hillary Clinton is more electable than Sanders is still being pushed by the Democratic and media establishment. Now I could prove Sanders electability by pointing out how well he does in hypothetical general election polls, but apparently that isn’t enough evidence for the Democrats. I could also point out how well Sanders does among independents as evidence towards his electability. But even after New Hampshire where Sanders absolutely clobbered Clinton almost entirely due to how well he did among independent voters, the Democratic establishment still doesn’t get it.

This is the year of the outsider. I think that is blatantly obvious to anyone who has been paying the slightest of attention to this race. Because of how connected Clinton is to the establishment, the Democrats will continue to try and scare Democratic voters from voting for Sanders because he’s unelectable. So let’s say that the Democrats are effective in convincing Democratic voters to vote against their interests and Clinton gets the nomination. Now I know Bernie Sanders won’t say it, but the Republicans have literally endless ammo to fire away in a general election. She is under FBI investigation. Let me repeat that. SHE IS UNDER FBI INVESTIGATION. Whether she did something wrong or not, it doesn’t matter. Politics is a game of perception.

Trump is going to be the Republican nominee. I’m sorry if that upsets you, but I just don’t see a world where he loses to Rubiobot, Bush, or Kasich. If Sanders goes down, his supporters will do one of three things. Either they will begrudgingly vote for Clinton, stay home, or move to Trump. Sanders supporters are diverse. They aren’t just super left Democrats. They are moderate Republicans and Independents as well. They all share one thing: an anger for the establishment. Trump will become the populist in a general election against Clinton. Clinton will have a very hard time fending out Trump’s attacks and garnering enthusiastic support in a time where people are so incredibly fed up with the status quo. Trump will hit her on Wall Street, the Iraq War, Campaign Finance, Trade Policy, and her Email Scandal. He will probably hit her and the entire Democratic party for being corrupt in how it choses its nominees as well. And if the Sanders/Clinton race remains close, he might even make the case that Super Delegates ultimately handed her the nomination, not the people. Most people in this country want a revolution. Hillary Clinton is clearly not going to get them that.

With the Clinton Foundation getting subpoenaed last week and with the FBI investigation that keeps intensifying everyday, how can anyone be sure that there won’t be an indictment? Hopefully if there is an indictment it will come before the Democratic primary is over. But could you imagine the nightmare scenario in a general election if the scandals surrounding her and her family came to fruition? It makes me ill just thinking about it. The evidence for Sanders electability is overwhelming. He wins independents, he excites people, he is authentic, he is consistent, and the list goes on and on and on. As a Progressive, I’m frightened that a Clinton nomination will ultimately lead to a Trump presidency. I wish I was wrong.
