I support him because I believe that he's more trustworthy and would compromise better w/the Republicans than Hillary would. Everything about Hillary to me screams same old/establishment and she has a history of flip flopping on important issues. The only part of him that I'm iffy about is his foreign policy experience. I've all but lost hope for him but I'll still support him till the end. Also, Hillary's and Bernie's proposed policies in general are similar, no? He's just a little more adamant in his beliefs

This is a Republican-dominated congress that has launched tens of attempts to take down Obamacare, defund Social Security, and attack every single thing Bernie Sanders advocates for. There is simply not enough support for the liberal extremism that he calls for, even among the democratic block. Moderates and the Blue Dog Coalition will never support him. He will be a president in name only if elected; and be even more ineffectual than Obama in his second term.
The blind optimism is seriously ridiculous.
