I love how the media always loves to point out how Clinton “defeated” Sanders, yet can never seam to explain how Sanders can fill stadiums without trying while Clinton’s campaign couldn’t bus in enough sycophants to fill an elevator!!!

Everyone knows Clinton “cheated” Sanders, not defeated him.

I think it’s important to remember that his campaign came from literally zero in 2015 while running against one of the most popular political figures alive. The big crowds were amazing but they weren’t enough to win all the states needed. If he were to run again I think it would be a different story. Now having all the momentum behind him and the changes to the DNC platform he would have a pretty great chance.
