Debate reinforces Sanders is the Wrong Choice for Democrats Today

If Bernie Sanders is nominated by the Democratic Party I will support him. Hopefully wiser heads will prevail. Many of the ideas he campaigns on sound good. But Hillary Clinton's strong progressive policy agenda is 100% more realistic. She understands what Sanders doesn't; to make progress one must work with those who disagree with you.

Sanders is the wrong choice for Democrats and the nation at this time. His stump speech, much of which he repeated in the debate, doesn't tell the whole truth to the American public or his supporters. Waving your hands and yelling doesn't make what you say any more feasible. He is still the politician who made a deal with the NRA to win his seat. As a member of Congress for twenty-five years he knows perfectly well the chance of having his proposals come to fruition at this time is zero. Only in an alternate reality would congress pass legislation to raise everyone's taxes which he calls for to make college free for all and pass a national single-payer healthcare system.
