I like an awful lot of what Bernie Sanders says and I think he's probably the most sincere, honest candidate running for the office in either party. Admittedly though, that isn't much of a compliment. It's like being the smartest member of the Cliven Bundy clan.
I do though have growing concerns about his electability — and yes, I know that a good candidate can be sabotaged by that kind of thinking. If Sanders doesn't win, we're going to hear, "If everyone who said they wished he could be president had voted for him, he would have made it!" Still, I came across an article by Jonathan Chait who makes a strong case that this just ain't Bernie's year. Part of me would like to believe that isn't so — and I still believe that a lot of things that couldn't possibly happen may happen before we get to Election Day — but I couldn't find much to disagree with in Chait's piece. At least at the moment.
