Sanders

Sanders would lose the election even in most European countries. The only exceptions being Greece and Spain, and perhaps Portugal, where he most probably would have won. Clinton on the other hand would win the election in almost all Western European countries. Thus the choice should be easy. Sanders might be the morally right choice in some ways, but he has next to no chance of actually winning. There's no given he could even beat a Trump, let alone a Jeb.

Clinton all the way

[Mr. Illini]

Thinking I will vote for Sanders in the Illinois primary, but I may change my mind. Clinton is unquestionably more electable and we need a Democratic victory in 2016, but I'm tempted to vote for Sanders as a protest to the Clinton machine.

It's too bad Obama isn't on the ballot to take Hillary down in glorious fashion once again.

[politicallefty]

I won't hide behind any poll. I supported Hillary Clinton in 2008 and I will absolutely be voting for her next year in the primary (and the general, assuming she is our nominee).

[Mr. Smith]

Webb or Sanders, depends who's still around when it gets to the state I'm in and who makes the most gaffes in the meantime.

[Crumpets]

Killary McFoster Rodham-Ghazi, naturally.

Actually Sanders is one of the few US politicians that would be electable outside of United States. If you put aside rhetoric his actual political positions are in line with moderate right in Europe. On the other hand Hillary Clinton would be too extremely right-wing to be elected even ordinary MP. Do you really think that somebody who opposes universal healthcare and state-guaranteed 4 weeks of vacation could be elected anywhere in Europe?

[President Johnson]

Bernie is a great man (as a member of the German Social Democratic Party he's a little closer to my views than Hillary) but Hillary is compentent too and has the best chance to win the general election.
Democrats must ensure to win again; maybe the GOP becomes more moderate when they lose a third time in a row (or a fourth if HC is reelected in 2020).

No need to troll. If Hillary was so insanely rightwing as you claim, then how come almost all political animals in Europe are going Wild about the prospect of her being the next US president? And I'm even pretty sure that she had a lot more support inititally among Europeans than Obama had in 2008.

Hillary has a name recognition and world generally cares about her foreign policy positions which are acceptable in Europe. Very few people outside US know much about her domestic policy. Also people in Europe generally know only about two main parties in US and they choose the more left-wing one simply because the other one is seen as absolutely extremist.
If Hillary ran with her current positions anywhere in Europe, people would know what her positions are and would care much more about them if she could actually influence politics in their own country and they wouldn't elect her.
Again, even the most right-wing politicians in the Europe don't dare to oppose some sort of universal health care as it would mean end of their political carrier. I doubt anybody who would oppose it could get elected for any office. She might be seen as more reasonable candidate than any Republican for United States but in their own country people would care about her economic policies much more.
