1. Hillary Clinton might be criticised for doing too little. She has eventually adopted policies Bernie Sanders has long supported, but her SuperPACs will disagree with many and her own lack of initiative will be a problem. Her history as senator shows she is low on brain power, so expect the status quo to remain in place and the same problems to continue.
The Republicans can hardly hit her for supporting the Iraq War for many years, but Bernie could, he rejected it right away for all the reasons that turned out to be true.
2. Bernie Sanders might be criticised for promising too much. Too much change frightens people and for good reason, because the results can not be entirely predicted.
Sure, change is necessary, if for example we continue using the same resources we will eventually run out, so as technology advances we need to change.
If he would just stick to being a lot better than Hillary, he would win. I know Republicans who would support him to avoid Hillary.
3. Donald Trump is right that that the US can not by allowing in millions of refugees, solve the refugee problem. But expecting Mexico to pay for our wall is weird. And the wall needs to be between Mexico and Central America where we are making the refugees (Iran Contras etc.). People would generally prefer to stay in the country they know rather than become refugees and that is where the problem lies. But at least Trump recognises the problem as most Americans also do, and he is willing to speak out about it.
My own feeling at present is we need real people in charge, not liberals or neocons.
