Actually, that is the wrong question. First, one should ask: is she really electable? The answer to that question, of course, can only be answered if she does, indeed, become the Democrat nominee. If so, Clinton’s negatives, the surface of which have only been barely scratched so far, would be massive red meat for the Republican hate machine. Sanders does not have this baggage, but he does have the progressive base that Clinton and Obama have ignored for years. That base, which largely stayed home in the elections of 2010 and 2014, will totally make the difference in 2016. Of course, progressive Democrats will vote the ticket, but wouldn’t it be nice if their enthusiastic support made the 2016 election a decisive landslide?( As it would be for Sanders)
