As far as I know, we agree on every social issue. We also agree on increasing the minimum wage, free university education, taxing the hell out of the rich, climate change, breaking up the banks, opposition to recent trade agreements, going further with healthcare than Obamacare, etc.

Wisconsin Democrats might not be ready for Hillary Clinton, as Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) finished just 8 points behind Clinton in a new Badger State straw poll.

Clinton finished with 49 percent of voters at the state party convention, with Sanders in second place with 41 percent of the vote. Vice President Joe Biden and former Gov. Martin O'Malley (D-Md.) tied at third with 3 percent of the vote. Former Sen. Jim Webb (D-Va.) followed with under 2 percent, and former Gov. Lincoln Chafee (D-R.I.) closed out the poll with 1 percent.

The surprise showing is a boost for Sanders, who regularly polls about 40 percentage points behind Clinton in national poll and rarely finishes within striking distance to Clinton. It's the closest he's come to toppling Clinton at the polls, outside of a 9-point margin in a Gravis Marketing poll of Washington state voters.

National Republican Party leaders have taken to Twitter to tout the results, framing them as trouble for Clinton.

Sanders's vocal support of organized labor could have helped to sway Badger State Democrats, as the issue deeply polarizes the state. Voters attempted to recall Gov. Scott Walker, himself a likely 2016 Republican presidential candidate, in 2011 over his support of a controversial law that limits the collective-bargaining powers of state employees.

The Vermont senator's campaign touted the results in a blog post on its website, quoting a story from The Nation that calls the finish "unexpected and significant."

I don't think Bernie is gaining as much as Billary is dropping back.

The truth probably lies somewhere in the middle, honestly.

He's done a good job of taking advantage and gaining the support she's losing. Most thought O'Malley would fill that role - but it appears he waited too late to get his name out there and the Baltimore riots really hurt him in the Dem base.

Hilary is supposed to lay out her campaign ideas this week (finally) - so we'll get a better idea of how strong her support system is and if her ideas match up with what the public wants.

2. Because a well-educated workforce is paramount for continued economic success.
3. Ultimately, we are.

I am currently not working as I'm a student studying Computer Science & Mathematics (although I have been applying for summer work), but frankly I'd give up almost all of my income if my general well-being were secured. I have not, do not, and will not work strictly for profit.

Absolutely stupid. You have no clue the trade off is an absolute surrender of your personal freedom under that scenario. Damaged thought process. You should really study up on the economic and political history/ramifications of countries that have gone down this road. There are no success stories. Sad that you don't even recognize that.

Be careful what you wish for Hog. Do not over estimate the intelligence of the American vote, take note of last 4 POTUS elections.

That would be the last two. Given the recent history of Algore and Traitorman Kerry, the voters are looking pretty smart.

Yes, but good ole Bernie wants to tax us just one time at a rate of 100% of everything. Then, he and a few enlightened socialists will decide how much of an allowance (if any) we should get and when.

The scary thing is that Sanders actually has some support instead of being soundly laughed at...
