I'm for Bernie because I support his policies including campaign finance reform (which he supports by his example), breaking up the big banks (spreading the risks and making sure that the economic decisions are not made by just a few people). Having lived in Europe for years, I very much favor single payer health insurance and free tuition at state colleges. I just like all of Bernie's platform.
And the more people get to know Bernie and his platform, the more votes he gets in general.
Bernie has only been in the race for less than a year. Hillary has been running for what seems like forever.
Name recognition alone will get Hillary more votes. That is probably why Bernie wins the caucus states. The caucus goers know more about politics and are more motivated than people who turn up for elections and push levers then walk out.
Bernie is the way of the future. Hillary is about the past.
Bernie will win the nomination when Democrats decide that the past is behind them and they need to move into the future.
