2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumIf Republicans had to design a perfect Democrat candidate to run against, Bernie would be it.
He's simply not electable no matter how loud they scream about Hillary's emails.
He has baggage. A lot of baggage that has not been dug up yet. Hillary has been running a positive campaign against him, while he makes outlandish claims and accuses Hillary of "money laundering" and other outrageous and mostly false claims.
Republicans would have a field day with him.
Bernie Sanders voted NO on establishing a nationwide Amber Alert system for missing kids.
Bernie Sanders had a close relationship with the Trotskyist Socialist Workers Party
Attended a Sandinista rally in Nicaragua in 1985
This column often bemoans the dumbing down of the electorate, but dumb or not, if Republicans attacked Sanders the way they attack Clinton, his electability would vanish. Because as political pundits around the country admit, If you were designing the perfect target for Republicans, youd create Bernie Sanders. Fortunately for Senator Sanders, he will likely escape the unrelenting Republican attacks that would dispel his electability superiority as the myth that it is and put Donald Trump in the White House.

(30,481 posts)It's real sad that Hillary has to be fighting a war on two fronts.
Let's see if Sanders at least tries to unify the party instead of providing the Trump campaign with more bullshit talking points.
