Supposedly in the new four-hour (yikes!) documentary Hillary the subject says of Bernie Sanders “Nobody likes him.” As with most of Hillary’s judgments, especially when it comes to gauging human desires, she is way off the mark. In fact, Sanders appears to be a reasonably likable guy, which accounts in part for his spike in the Democrat polls. There is a strong possibility he’ll end up the party’s nominee, a frightening prospect for the Democrat establishment and the country as a whole. Current polling suggests Sanders might win the Iowa primary. He’s polling just below Biden (23-21%) within the margin of error.

This man honeymooned in Moscow. Thinks Uncle Joe means Stalin. Not to count one's chickens but he and the 'Rat Party will be the dog's breakfast come Nov 3.

Bernie campaigns on the issue of the under (health) insured. He is talking about Obolacare's bronze plan, but doesn't identify the 'problem' - the bronze plan, with a 6000 dollar deductible, though promiscuity pills are free.
Some dimocrats and republicans in the House have held hearings about 'surprise' health treatment bills, again caused by the bronze plans.
Bloomberg, in his two dozen tv ads each day, says he will eliminate the 'surprise' bills. No more bronze plan? And how did Bloomberg, as mayor, help 700,000 NYC dwellers get health insurance? How does a mayor do that? By avoiding on the ground campaigning, he doesn't have to answer such questions.
As Perez, DNC chair, changes the primary rules as they move along, he is demonstrating what dimocrat leaders think of the voters - even dimocrats, in his eyes, are deplorables.

The Bernie Bros are going to get the shaft again. The Dems/media do not respect Bernie and his bros at all and they are willing to change the rules in favor of Bloomberg. So, the dems are selling their souls to a Billionaire, what else is new?

If Bernie isn’t permanently toast before the convention, he will be after it if he loses and his thugs start burning and shedding blood in the streets.

This guy makes me happy (for once) that here in TN we have crossover voting. Since Trump has no opposition I might just vote in the dimocrat primary this year. Throw a little more gas on the fire. What fun!

What wrong with Vermont? They've given us Howling Howard Dean, Leaky Leahy, and Crazy Bernie. Because Vermont is rural it has lots of gun owners and The Bern isn't for gun grabbing. I think it is the whitest state in the union which will cause problems for him. If he wins convert all your money into survivalist equipment.

At this point in time, there is NOTHING wrong with Bernie. He is the t-rd. in the democrat punch bowl, and we can all enjoy that amusing situation.
Save the tons of negative stuff about him in case he actually comes out on top of all of the other clowns and is the chosen one for the democrat party. For now, enjoy the circular democrat firing squad.

Voters judge these candidates based on their genuineness. Bernie is a nut, but he really means the crazy stuff he says. He is the college professor that sponsors the Earth Day Club and the No Nukes protests. He joins the drum circles and passes around the hookah.
Hillary, on the other hand, is the unlikeable mother-in-law / ex-wife that stares down her nose at anyone who isn’t old money. She sends her meals back to the kitchen because the parsley is wilted. She reminds you that she only wants wooden coat hangers, not wire.
Is there any doubt why millennials are attracted to the Stalinist curmudgeon versus the DMV helpdesk manager?

Socialists are always millionaires, if not before the revolution then certainly after, once they have looted everything. Or at least they live like they are millionaires. The leaders of the revolution always move into the vacated mansions, never a worker's cottage, while everyone else starves and fights over the toilet paper. "...same as the old boss."

Yep #6, I am not always happy with that here in TN but this year, I will be a Democrat for about 15 mins that day. Let chaos reign in Milwaukee come July!

Gee, a superannuated 60's protester who has a crooked wife, has never accomplished anything of substance, and wants to turn the old U.S. of A into a socialist country that he will run? Include me out.
It does tell you something about the contemporary democrat party that they would consider voting for someone like this.
So if he's their nominee, what are we looking at in the landslide--49-1? 48-2?

The democrat party has dreams of its own Thousand Year Reich commencing when they convert the illegal horde of invaders into democrat voters. A more probable outcome will be a giant schism in the party when the internal pressures among all the disparate interest groups that form the coalition that is the democrat party reach a critical mass. The trigger just could be the dem establishment sticking the shiv in Bernie's back one more time.

I told a millennial acquaintance that I heard Bernie doesn’t floss and she said Ewwww That’s Nasty and she may have to reconsider her vote then. She was seriously repulsed. Apparently personal hygiene trumps anti capitalist dogma in the hoogadooga world of socialism.

Have you ever seen Bernie confronted about the insanity of his behavior or ideas? He jumps really ugly. In addition to being a Communist, he is an nasty curmudgeon. This will not play well in open debate. Trump brushes this stuff off with a tweet. Sure Bernie's 30% base will lap it up but Independents upset with Trump's boisterousness are not going to be impressed with a wild eyed, angry Bernie. A lot of labor and minorities are not going to support a Communist.
The dems are in a corner. Bernie cannot win and if he isn't the candidate, Bernie Bros are NOT going to support someone else. Dems lose all ways. I suspect that with Bernie as a foil rather than the hapless Biden, Trump may be able to generate a stronger pushback against the dems. Bernie might propel a mere landslide for Trump into a crushing defeat for the dems. Go Bernie!

Bernie is running the oldest class warfare scam in the book and his adoring acolytes are classic "useful idiots". His entire career has been built on using class warfare and anti business rhetoric to get votes from poor but idealistic followers while raking in millions ($35 M in 2016) from corporate and real estate donors who use his power to get legislation to protect them. His hypocrisy is only exceeded by his well crafted public persona as the angry socialist. All those "small" donations that he claims are from grass roots donors are actually carefully structured small denomination checks from a tight group of well heeled backers that get around the individual donation limit laws. If the FEC actually audited his campaign he would go to jail for the rest of his life but when you're a Democrat it's different. He claims he made his millions from writing books (since he's never had a real job in his life) but when you look at where the money comes from its a combination of inflated advance fees from the same publisher and sales made to his own campaign who then give away the books as campaign expenses.
I don't think Sander's and his wife are in the same criminal league as the Biden family but his hypocrisy at pretending to be a socialist man of the people while taking vast sums of money from the evil capitalists is breathtaking in its chutzpah.
