Sanders the most favorable

Current polls show that Donald Trump has an unfavorability rating of 57.2 percent, Sen. Hillary Clinton, 55.2 percent, and Sen. Bernie Sanders, 41 percent. It does not take a genius to figure out that Sen. Clinton is distrusted and disrespected almost as much as Donald Trump. These unfavorability ratings come from voters and not delegates.

The old-fashioned pillars and game players of the Democratic Party are serving their anointed candidate and ignoring their voters. It is the Democratic Party that could deliver the presidential election to Donald Trump. The majority of pledged delegates and super delegates are not representing the majority of the Democratic and Independent electorate. It is unrealistic to encumber a progressive and populace movement with a non-populace and status quo party candidate and call it unity.

Apparently the Republicans have it figured out. Unification of delegates is not the same as unification of voters. The majority of Republican, Democratic and Independent voters are hungry for real change in their government and their politics. Sen. Bernie Sanders is the most popular, trustworthy, respectable and representative candidate of the Democratic Party and our country.
