Where are the Real Democrats?

Why are no "real"  Democats opposing Hillary? Unless we count Bernie Sanders, the esteemed US Senator from Vermont. Bernie was elected as a member of the Vermont Progressive Socialist Party, and has never run for any office as a Democrat, until two weeks ago when he declared for the Democrat nomination for President. Now if you believe Catholics are going to elect the Arch Bishop of Canterburry their next Pontiff, then you may believe Sanders is a credible candidate for the Democratic Presidential nomination. Bernie has built his political career on three pillars: progressive socialism focussed on uplifting the working class, clarity and consistency in policy and position and unimpeachable integrity. Unfortunately for Bernie, while these qualities would assumedly endear him to Democratic voters, his polling is but a pimple on the Clinton juggernaught. In fact, one could make the contrarian case that Hillary is the anti-Sanders as regards her affinity for the the wealthy Foundation donors, opacity on policy and her myriad ethical missteps.
Yet, of the scores of Senators and Governors elected as Democrats, nary a one has entered the nomination contest. Queer? Afterall, 2016 promises an open seat in the White House, generally regarded as a once in a lifetime opportunity among our cadre of career politicians. And the Republicans have not been shy about jumping into the fray. The announced and all-but-announced run over a dozen on the GOP team. So, the would-be Demcratic contendors face a catch-22. The Ready For Hillary team has succeeded in swatting away all adverse press and positioned Hillary as the Inevitable One. The only hope to derail the coronation is for a real and credible mainstream Democratic politician to step into the arena and both make their case for the nomination, and to proceed hammer and tongs at the chinks in Hillary's armor. And for those paying attention, the opportunities abound. What is lacking is the Democrat willing take the risk of finding out if Hillary is really beatable. If only Bernie Sanders has the courage to find out, then the outcome is certainly... inevitable.
