Rubio quitting politics?

Which is it? You're changing your argument to fit your agenda here. You're calling me dishonest when you can't even stick to the same rhetoric within two comments?

Haha, which one is it? You do realize that different polls can have different numbers, right? Since you're somehow implying that these polls don't exist, here's a polling tracker that goes back a ways. It has Sanders starting at 4% in 2015:

Of course name recognition plays a part, but if you honestly and earnestly believe that the vast majority of Hillary supporters aren't supporting her because they align with her views and think she'd be a good president, then hey, you're probably being disingenuous yourself.

Do you honestly think a no-name male Democrat with Hillary's platform could have beaten Bernie in this primary? Given that Bernie's actual campaign mobilized a far greater amount of activism and fundraising than Hillary's, I seriously, seriously doubt it.

Ron Paul wasn't in a two person race at any point in time. The Dems could only even field 3 legitimate candidates who wanted to run for office. To say that Bernie has his support levels because he's somehow so good and that none of that is attributed to the fact that there are only two Democratic options is - hey again - disingenuous.

So I guess we're just going to completely ignore Chaffe and Webb, who were also running in the beginning of the race. Bernie beat out three other legitimate candidates to achieve his position. If Ron Paul had achieved the same level of support Bernie did he would have also been in a two person race with Romney or McCain, but he never even got remotely close to breaking out of the bottom of the pack. Sorry, but that comparison is just absurd, and yes, completely disingenuous. You keep moving the goalposts for trying to trash Bernie's candidacy. First it was OWS, then it was Ron Paul, what other marginal activism group comparisons can you come up with?
