Both are more than enough reason for 90% of voters.

But yes, he absolutely is the best candidate. He's not electable...but he's definitely the best choice.

On the other hand, if you thought the GOP locked up the government over Obama, you haven't seen anything yet.

Naw. He's behind by double digits across nearly all of the upcoming primaries.

Something really major needs to change to kick Clinton's legs out from under her. He's going to lose by a huge margin in Iowa, S Carolina, Florida...Clinton is up by 40 and 50 points respectively in Florida and SC.

Sanders is more electable than Clinton. He polls better in a head to head against every GOP opponent. That's what electability is, not current standing in Florida among registered Democrats.

Because electability is about which primary candidate would fare better in a general election, and is an important selling point among primary choices. You're just using the word incorrectly to give Clinton a point that actually belongs to Sanders according to all polling data.

The funny thing about everyone who admits Sanders is better but insists on supporting Clinton right out the gate is that you literally have nothing to lose by supporting Sanders right now. If he loses, you can still vote for Clinton in the general. Democrats are afraid to ever stand up to the party establishment though, and I can see from the discussion on this forum that most of you are already more interested in general election partisan dickwaving about substanceless nonsense at this point.
