Why Did Sanders Win The Hillary Clinton Primaries

While it is true that America has had many historical figures who became President, Theodore Roosevelt can be remembered as one of the greatest presidents of America, this is mainly because of his extraordinary amount of previous achievements before eventually becoming president of the United States of America. He was a Cowboy, New York City Police Commissioner, Assistant Secretary of the Navy, Colonel in the war of cuba, Veteran, Governor of New York, and Vice President. Therefore while some may say that Theodore Roosevelt was a bad president because of one of his quotes where he said “Every colored man should realize that the worst enemy of his race is the negro criminal, and above all the negro criminal who commits the dreadful crime of

He did all he could to get everyone in the middle/lower classes to vote, especially for him. He made it legal for every white man, those who owned land and not to vote. This was indirectly helping his vote count, people looked up to this man because he helped bring fairness to all of the people, and he knew he would get a huge amount of votes. The men who did not own land, or come from a wealthy/smart background, would vote for the man who helped give them their rights. This meant almost every American had a say in what happened in their country.

He was running for President at the time and appealing to the over all minority helps.

The government of the United States is bought and sold like stocks. Billionaires and corporations have poured an incomprehensible amount of money into thousands of political campaigns. According to opensecrets.org, the average cost to win a senate race is now $11,474,362. For the 2016 presidential race alone the Koch brothers plan on spending $889 million. It is nearly impossible to win an election without the support of billionaires and corporations. The impact that money has on elections has spiraled of control. A political revolution to fix the power the wealthy have in politics is already happening. Senator Bernie Sanders is the one leading this revolution. Even without the revolutionary policies, Sanders would set in place to end the American Oligarchy his campaign is still important. Sanders leading by example and showing the country that it is possible to run a campaign without support from the elite. Sanders campaign has raised $75 million so far with an average donation of only $25. If

Time magazine shows how much popularity and support Sanders has received (“The Gospel” 34). A politician who is not afraid to stand up for what he or she trusts will make this nation grow for the future. Bernie Sanders shows this nation that if freedom and equality is given regardless of what color skin you are, where you come from, or how much money and power you have, will make a better

The 2016 primary elections have been a mess for both parties but it has insulted millions because their state didn’t allow independents to vote. Bernie Sanders, an independent form the state of Vermont is hoping to win the democratic nomination but has faced massive setbacks because of these closed primaries. Bernie Sanders has overwhelming support from independent voters all around the country, resulting in landslide victories. He crushed his establishment rival Hillary Clinton in Indiana with the help of independents. “Indiana was just the latest example of Sanders’ crossover appeal. He also won big in New Hampshire, Wisconsin and Michigan, where independents are free to participate” (Huffingtonpost). If every state had an open primary system, then Sanders could have been the front runner of his party. In reality the Sanders campaign is struggling to win each state without independents. Sanders argued for having more open contest by stating, “Three million people in the state of New York who are independents have lost their right to vote for the Democratic or Republican primary... That’s wrong.” Of course he’s right because those people could have made a massive change in this election. The most unsettling news out of this is the fact that independent voters could not change party after September. We like to think we have

Have you ever felt like an outsider? Did you ever feel like you didn’t fit in and you weren’t accepted? Well, I don’t think it’s much of a problem for the outsiders in this upcoming presidential election. The presidential candidates, Donald J. Trump and Bernie Sanders, are known as the “outsiders” of the election but, are gaining so much support and acceptance. Sanders is a highly Liberal candidate who wishes for many free social systems for the United states while Trump is a conservative business man who wishes to “Make America Great Again” (“About Donald…”). The people that are voting for Trump are not going to back down any time soon or change their minds but, when it comes down to a general election, the majority of the United States population seems to side with Bernie Sanders.

America has entered a dark, depressing age where workers are mistreated, massive businesses drown other businesses, and widespread corruption runs rampant on the local, state, and federal level. But there is hope for our broken, fragmented nation. The populist party fights to restore America to its former greatness and will fight for what is right and what is needed. I implore you to vote for the Populist party to help create a prosperous future and a better

Due to heavy campaigning, McCain was able to win New Hampshire by a “48% to 30%”iv[iv] margin. George W. Bush emphatically won the closed Delaware primary by a “51% to 25%”v[v] margin. Bush then went on to win in South Carolina’s modified open primary by a “53% to 42%”vi[vi] margin, thus robbing McCain’s hopes of gaining momentum. Despite this, McCain did get back on the winning track with wins in Michigan’s open primary and in Arizona’s closed primary.

With Hillary Clinton’s recent self-proclamation of “securing” the Democratic nomination, along with the heated 2016 presidential election, has come an Independent, Progressive political movement, with citizens calling for action against a system widely believed to have failed them.

The other major factor I think helped him win was that the moderates in the country are bias to having one side of the spectrum rule for too long and since Obama was democratic and ruled for eight years we tend to now vote for the other side. A lot of the moderates and usually democratic sided voters were upset with the democratic party for allowing Hillary to dominate the primaries where as the majority wanted Bernie. The democratic party was viewed as corrupt and they chose a corrupt candidate shown by about 50% of the exit polls.

The point is that he [Bernie Sanders] can’t win in the face of how the DNC has influenced the (information (data as you call it) and debates. It is perfectly clear as to the preference of the DNC, and their preference is Hillary Clinton because it has been calculated that she, and not Bernie Sanders, would have the best chance of becoming the next President of the United States. In addition, Hillary Clinton is more aligned with party ideals and principals then Bernie Sanders is. In fact, Sanders and Trump find themselves in a comparable situation where their own parties are at odds with who and what they stand for.

In a political atmosphere where it is easy to be grouped up in either conservative or liberal, it is harder to see such an easy split more and more each day. Non-traditional candidates are now emerging into the political arena that in prior elections would have been scoffed at. Whether we are talking about the unusually high polling Libertarian candidate, Gary Johnson, the Democratic Socialist Bernie Sanders or the Authoritarian Republican Nominee, Donald Trump, It is getting harder and harder to ignore the rise they are having. The two major political parties will have to adapt to these emerging ideologies or face the threat of the dreaded “third party”.

In the Democratic primaries Hillary Clinton can expect to receive little competition as it is much less oversaturated then the Republican race with her only opposition being Bernie Saunders. In the presidential race Hillary Clinton is clearly the best known candidate as American voters have already been familiarized with her from her time serving as First Lady to President Bill Clinton during his time in office, as well as her time serving as the United States Secretary of state. This is not her first time being a candidate in the primaries as she ran in the 2008 presidential
