Even though that will prove me wrong in my analysis about<br \/>\nhis campaign and the 2016 election, defeating Clinton is much more<br \/>\ndesirable to me than having my ego stroked for being correct about<br \/>\nbad news. <a href=\"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/?p=37675\">https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/?p=37675<\/a><\/p>\n<p>We are getting very close to seeing the preordained Clinton vs. Bush<br \/>\nelection of 2016 completely decimated. Trump easily dispatched Jeb in<br \/>\nthe Republican primaries. Maybe, just maybe, Bernie can seal the deal<br \/>\nand take care of his part of that goal by defeating Hillary thus making all<br \/>\nthose Washington political pundits look stupider than ever.<\/p>\n<p>Relying on the momentum he has garnered from his string of victories<br \/>\nin recent primaries along with his undeniable popular support and the clear<br \/>\ndislike of Mrs. Clinton by a large percentage of Democratic voters, the<br \/>\nVermont Senator is making her feel The Bern more than ever.<\/p>\n<p>In his quest to get the Super Delegates to abandon Hillary and vote for him,<br \/>\nhe wants to mobilize a large army of Berniacs to march on the Democratic<br \/>\nConvention in July.<\/p>\n<p>Even without an indictment of the criminally vulnerable former Secretary of<br \/>\nState, it is getting less a matter of speculation and more a real possibility<br \/>\nthat the Party bosses will ask her to bow out (play sick?) and go home.<\/p>\n<p>If that happens then the political revolution that Sanders has been leading<br \/>\ncan get bolder and start articulating policies that can induce Trump supporters<br \/>\nto give up on backing the boisterous billionaire and opt for the more humble<br \/>\npopulist, Bernie Sanders.<\/p>\n<p>This is the year in which anything is possible in politics.
