(both about the same if you think they are equally good or equally bad)
The correct answer is Sanders. Sanders voted against the Iraq war. Clinton voted for the Iraq war. That should be the issue we talk about, because that is the biggest difference between the two of them.

All the other stuff is just a distraction. Sanders said this. Clinton said that. Clinton is inevitable. So on and so on and a lot of wasted energy on things that won't matter two months from today.

Focus on the real issues; enough is enough. Calm down and focus on what the logical choice is. The Iraq war turned out to be a war that was not logical. I am sure that Mr. Spock would support the logical choice: the logical Senator from Vermont.

Sanders. Clinton would be infinitely better at carrying out the actual job but she would do so with mostly bad ideas. Sanders wouldn't be a particularly effective president but what he'd get done would be just fine.

There is not a candidate left who would not make a horrible president, but the Republicans would do so much more damage to the country that Clinton and Sanders look about equal by comparison.

Hillary. She has the experience to do it. I would be happy with her.

The very understanding of how Congress works is extremely important to every President (just look at poor Jimmy Carter). In this regard, Sanders' experience is beating Clinton's. He has an extenside experience from the both houses.

It's interesting that neither Hillary not Bernie had an actual experience of being a "leader". Bernie was a token independent for most of his career, while Hillary was largely a non-record Senator and as the SoS she was merely carrying out her boss' policy.

Then again, it's a case for many past Presidents. I guess it would be about the same.

Clinton.

Both would have a hard time passing anything through congress, but Hillary actually has the support of major players in her party, while Bernie doesn't.

And when it comes to foreign policy, Hillary is just more knowledge then Bernie.

Hillary. She doesn't follow the extreme wackiness of the left and black lives matter and all that crap. She might pander to them, but I actually think if she becomes President, she'll be more hard ass than Obama.

Sanders. I may disagree with him on some points, but he isn't bought and paid for by Wall Street.

These. And besides, Sanders might actually know how to properly handle sensitive information; Clinton clearly doesn't, and that in and of itself disqualifies her from consideration, at least in my book.

Yes. Instead he'll read the headlines only and act with bluster before he knows the whole story.

Sanders has been in Congress for over two decades with nothing to show for it, either in legislative achievements, relationships built, or even influencing the terms of debate. He'd be a totally ineffectual president, which coupled with the astronomical expectations of his cult, would be disastrous. Jimmy Carter with a Brooklyn accent.
