I re-read the post and apologize. Still sounds like you're more worried about stopping Sanders than beating Trump though.
No... I detest Trump, his ideas, policies and his gangster mentality and his hoodlum conduct.
I just know that Sander's is not the best choice for us as a nation. I'm ok with the fact Sander's garners the support of young people and awakned some who had not been politically concerned. He unfortunately did not know how to make the best beneficial usage of his followings, He was never going to be elected, BUT...He could have gained some position in a Democratic Administration for his key points as a system player for those key things, such as education reforms and medical... We already have Elizabeth Warren who is far more effective than Sander's when it comes to dealing with Wall Street, Banks and elements within the Financial and the big corporate impacts upon Consumers.
People have to know where they function best... everyone with an Idea is not the type nor the fit for Top Leadership. There too is a certain decorum of manner, that has been historical for Presidential Persons, and how they communicate. Sander's does not have it in the way that fits or works on the Global States, nor fully on the Domestic States. His presence is like a hunched over whiny old man.... who thinks he can turn American 180 in a day.... That's just not the nature of the nation. We Turn through process and those processes have and require "steps" and "stages". It's fine to give people the "lofty dream of future ideals", but we have to deal with what "can" be done within a Term... and if we understand the nature of the "term"... and the nature of the Congressional Make Up... Then that should indicate the nature of challenges that exist.
We have a mass of work to do before society can realize the Loft Left Goals of the Sanders Train's Destination. We have a mass of Right Wing Judges Across the country making precedence everyday that will take years if not decades to change, we have a SCOTUS that has a Right Lean, and we have a nations of Governors that are still clinging to Right Wing Confederate Ideology, then when we realize our State, County and Metro's in every county has a broad mix of Right Winger's from County Commissioners, to City Council Members.
Yes, it would be great if we could again, have "no cost community colleges" and the "1960's low cost of State Universities"... but that is not going to happen in the flip and spin of a moment. Community Colleges may be far more likely to bring down cost, but State Universities have gotten a taste of "money", they will not give that up willingly, and the Top Universities, know as long as State University keep their cost up, the Top Universities and Ivy League can raise their cost even higher.
The answer to education for America today... may well be not to try and point everyone toward University, but Point, Lead and Guide People to "VOCATIONAL AND TECHNICAL Training Programs... Why? Because 'we have the internet" which information is readily retrievable to anyone with a cell phone or internet connections, so... that means, people can update their knowledge base in an instant, and they can "collaborate", research and find the resolves that others have achieved, which enhances their ability to perform and function. in some fields, people can find support data, instructional video and innovative advances right through the internet and the associations they can build via the internet. So... our future trajectory is today, different... Therefore Technical and Vocation Training combined with the Internet can give a Tech/Voc Certified person the capability to a level that once only Bachelors and Masters Study programs had a lock on. Today, we have the high standard feeder system schools who have high school students who function today, at what use to be a AA degree levels, and some of the more advanced ones at bachelors degree level.
So... we need to change the standard, because the dynamics have changed... and not base everyone on a "university degree", because today, most degree are used as nothing more than a "get a job certificate", because most don't work anywhere close to the field they degree is claimed.
