This article really illustrates just how damn interesting things are starting to get.

Look, I really don't wanna come off like some fanatic 08 Ron Paul supporter, I understand the mountain of reasons why it's not likely at all, but it really seems like there's real, legit, momentum for Sanders.

A lot of really interesting stuff is happening and he's definitely exceeding everyones expectations. He's starting to lead polls against Clinton and Trump, and his campaign has broken the fundraising record for most contributions at this point in a presidential campaign, surpassing 2.5 million donations. To quote a Time Magazine article, "To put that number in context, Barack Obama's historic 2008 campaign managed to break just one million contributions. Sanders literally has twice what Obama had. Not only that, but Sanders reached two million faster than President Obama reached one."

That's some real grassroots support there.

We eventually hit a point where we realized Trump is at the very least, a real possibility. When do we do the same for Bernie?

As long as Republicans get floored, I don't care who wins. Enemies of reason, they is.

When he closes the gap in national polling

Bernie's best chance is sweeping Iowa and NH, and hoping that the media narrative gives him enough momentum to overcome Hillary's massive advantage.

True that.

Lots of points that make sense here, but I'll believe it when the millennials who tweet about him actually come out and vote on election day.

 

[HUELEN10]

At this point, I'm cool with Sanders, Carson, or (ugh) Rubio, but if Bernie gets it so much the better!

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

I just wanna believe.

You dumped Trump for Rubio?

 

[ibyea]

I don't know if I believe them even if I want to believe. I am personally gonna wait and see before I celebrate. People really shouldn't be making assertions about the future. Especially not ones that sound improbable.

 

[A Human Becoming]

The Huffington Post is the Fox News of the left.

 

[danm999]

Point 2 is a little hand-wavey if it thinks the self attributed socialist label is not going to hurt by pointing at two pre-Cold War Presidents.

 

[Smiley90]

Ben "the pyramids were used for grain storage" Carson?
Ben "I totally tried to murder my friend, believe me" Carson?

 

[HUELEN10]

You dumped Trump for Rubio?

I would never vote for Trump, I'd root for Trump (root for trump? It even sounds wrong) if it ended up Clinton v Trump, but I'd never vote for him or Clinton. Trump is a god-damnded racist.

 

[Grover]

Huffpo you're trying to seduce me

Ben "the pyramids were used for grain storage" Carson?
Ben "I totally tried to murder my friend, believe me" Carson?

dont forget

Ben "an angel taught me chemistry" Carson

 

[HUELEN10]

The Huffington Post is the Fox News of the left.

I thought that was CNN. Isn't CNN the anti-fox news? Like as Demmy as fox is Repub-centric?

 

[A Human Becoming]

Naw, CNN is just generally awful. If you're talking just TV, that would be MSNBC, but they don't have such grandiose thoughts as HuffPo.

 

[ZealousD]

Huffpo you're trying to seduce me

Funny, in that movie he went after the older woman.

 

[Orbis Tabula]

I would like it, and it would also be hilarious. I'd feel pretty damn bad for Hillary, but whatevs.

 

[HUELEN10]

Naw, CNN is just generally awful.

No argument from me there.

 

[Aaronology]

At this point, I'm cool with Sanders, Carson, or (ugh) Rubio, but if Bernie gets it so much the better!

So you're voting for personalities and not politics.

Well... ok.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

 

[Dennis]

At this point, I'm cool with Sanders, Carson

 

[valkillmore]

I've always thought of CNN as a left-of-centre, anti-FOX News. It's no Young Turks, at least.

 

[Orbis Tabula]

Ben "the pyramids were used for grain storage" Carson?
Ben "I totally tried to murder my friend, believe me" Carson?

Well... ok.

It's HUELEN. Just...don't worry about it.

 

[HUELEN10]

So you're voting for personalities and not politics.

Well... ok.

Your words, not mine. If I voted on personalities, I'd vote for Jeb!. Only a fool votes on personality and not issues.

 

[PBY]

Only a fool votes on personality and not issues.

And yet...

 

[valkillmore]

Your words, not mine. If I voted on personalities, I'd vote for Jeb!. Only a fool votes on personality and not issues.

If you're voting for personalities you'd vote for the candidate with the least personality of them all? You wouldn't vote Bernie? Bernie has the best personality of them all. Sincere, passionate, consistent, resilient and fierce. None of the other candidates have all of those traits.

 

[Monocle]

Well, one can hope.

 

[Kaladin]

#TeamBern all the way. I want to believe.

 

[xxracerxx]

Your words, not mine. If I voted on personalities, I'd vote for Jeb!. Only a fool votes on personality and not issues.

That doesn't explain your vote for Carson then.

 

[Order]

At this point, I'm cool with Sanders, Carson, or (ugh) Rubio, but if Bernie gets it so much the better!

💁💁💁

 

[docbon]

classic huelen thread

take that energy to the polls, and stay organized for the midterms, and we're gucci.

 

[Poodlestrike]

That doesn't explain your vote for Carson then.

Hell, it doesn't even explain his hypothetical personality-based Jeb! vote. I've met trees with more charisma.

[Gnome Scat]

We can only hope. And vote, I guess.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

Being fine with voting for Sanders AND Carson literally makes zero sense.

 

[NoblesseOblige]

I don't agree with the prediction, but am fine if that's the outcome. I support Hillary but a Bernie is fine too.

As long as it means the republicans lose the presidency, anyway.

 

[Fracas]

At this point, I'm cool with Sanders, Carson, or (ugh) Rubio, but if Bernie gets it so much the better!

[liliththepale]

Bernie Will Win the Nomination and Presidency in a Landslide

Good to know. Thanks. I guess I don't need to vote now.

(speculation gonna speculate)

 

[ZeezbruhTV]

If he wins Iowa and NH he has a shot.

 

[Foffy]

At this point, I'm cool with Sanders, Carson, or (ugh) Rubio, but if Bernie gets it so much the better!

What in the fuck?

 

[Dennis]

Your words, not mine. If I voted on personalities, I'd vote for Jeb!. Only a fool votes on personality and not issues.

!Jeb has a personality?

 

[ivysaur12]

Your words, not mine. If I voted on personalities, I'd vote for Jeb!. Only a fool votes on personality and not issues.

Where?

 

[Stinkles]

Your words, not mine. If I voted on personalities, I'd vote for Jeb!. Only a fool votes on personality and not issues.

See, now I know you're a joke character.

 

[FartOfWar]

The fact that I want this to be true tells me to be especially skeptical of the story.

 

[danm999]

Being fine with voting for Sanders AND Carson literally makes zero sense.

Anti-establishment.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

I'm sure there's a bunch of articles on NRO and Breitbart and Hotair and Fox that tell us how Cruz or Trump or Rubio is going to win in a landslide. What are we doing here?

 

[Davilmar]

Landslide? Not a chance in hell. I'm even skeptical of him winning the nomination, and that will be hard enough. Then again, such a grandiose idea for a Democratic candidate from HuffPo shouldn't surprise me. It reminds me of the National Review predicting that Romney would run away with the election. Just not realistic.

 

[Byakuya769]

Lots of points that make sense here, but I'll believe it when the millennials who tweet about him actually come out and vote on election day.

They don't have jobs, so I'm sure they'll be free to do so.
