Hillary Expected to Adopt All of Sanders’s Positions by Noon

Awaking at 8 A.M., Sanders, who had planned to run to the left of Clinton in 2016, discovered that, while he was sleeping, she had already begun running slightly to the left of him.

In an online video posted Thursday morning, Clinton welcomed Sanders to the race, adding, “To those who agree with Bernie Sanders on the issues, let me say this: I am Bernie Sanders.”

It's all rhetoric. So many fell for Obama's (very finely expressed) rhetoric and never looked at his voting record… or how he came to be the nominee in the first place.

would never manage to win in the general election.

If Bernie Sanders wins the primary and restricts himself to Federal Matching funds, he will lose. He can get all the small donations he wants, but if the other side refuses matching funds and accepts no limits, they will spend two or more times as much and he will lose.
