He often is behind Hilary in polls. Though not recognized for is, his loss to Hillary in Nevada was actually more impressive than his near win in Iowa and his smashing win in New Hampshire. This is because he came so close when the demographics were not in his favor in Nevada. However, he is coming up short from where he should be on Super Tuesday, he is also coming up short on the major industrial states such as Ohio and Pennsylvania where he will run against Hilary neck to neck. His loss by so little in Nevada showed that he has made up ground with Hispanic voters, a group that is not associated with Bernie often. Thus meaning that Bernie must win the major states in-order to win the democratic spot in the election. Things are no different when it comes to a general election either. Many political analysts believe that if Bernie Sanders becomes the Democratic Nominee, that he would get crushed in the general election. One argument supporting this fact is that though Sander’s holds up well in head-to-head polling against the republicans, he has never had to handle billions of dollar’s worth of attacks from the right. He has been involved in many lefty politics, meaning that if he were to become the democratic nominee, there would be a treasure trove of opposition research waiting to be unleashed. Another argument for this fact is that people want significant change, but when faced with the unknown they become risk-averse, meaning that Sander’s ideological ideas would bring him down a couple points, while with Hilary since she has been in the public’s eye for many years, it would be hard to come up with something new that might persuade voters who don’t already see her as a
“Opponents have been attacking and defining Clinton for a quarter-century, but nobody has really gone to work demonizing Sanders” (Milbank). It is true that Clinton has been in the limelight for a long time, so many of her mistakes have already been aired publicly while Sanders has yet to be attacked in the same way. However, this also means that many people already have a set opinion about Clinton and are unlikely to change their mind anytime soon, so this isn’t necessarily positive for her. Any attacks on Sanders would have less time to ruminate with a person since he has not been in the news nearly as long as Clinton. He still has the ability to give some people a first impression. The article also refers to his label as a democratic-socialist making him unelectable, saying, “they’ll portray Sanders as one who wants the government to own and

From the very beginning, Sanders has faced many challenges, one being having a sustainable job. He went job to job attempting to gain some money.

From that one action, it would lead him to own a million dollar business and became a millionaire. Even at his darkest, Sanders never gave up. He kept pushing forward despite his roadblock and at the end, it paid off. He died a jubilant and rich man with a background of economic

Sanders has been a supporter of LGBT rights since the 80’s which was around the time when he supported the city of Burlington’s first ever Pride Parade. Sanders made a statement after June 26, 2016, Supreme Court ruling on same-sex marriage saying, "This decision is a victory for same-sex couples across our country, as well as all those seeking to live in a nation where every citizen is afforded equal rights”. Sanders says if he is made president that he has a lot of plans to help the LGBT community move further than it has already gone. One way he plans on doing so is by signing into laws such as the Equality Act and the Every Chile Deserves a Family Act to help stop discrimination against the LGBT community.
Senator Sanders plans to give each citizens access to universal healthcare so no citizen will be denied health and medicine. Throughout his political career he voted yes and no on bills going through Senate and he voted each time on bills that expanded healthcare or made it more affordable. He plans on taxing the rich at higher rates, same taxes from resolving the income inequality, and set forth a system of taxing through the stock system that will create billions over the course of a year (). These new taxes would benefit the middle and lower class because they would finally be able to receive healthcare that many of the poor have had to previously live without. New taxes sound like a bad thing, but in Bernie’s plans it would only affect corporations and the top 10%. These new taxes wouldn’t affect the average taxpayer in anyway resulting in more money out of your paychecks, but would affect them by giving them and every citizen free healthcare despite any poor financial
