Realism about Bernie Sanders

[rsbs]

Good discussion about how Mr. Sanders would have done in a general election.

White people as a new reliable minority voting block is an interesting observation.

Some good thoughts on both sides, with the elephant in the room being the opposition folders on Bernie of a couple of thousand pages.

A guy that was on welfare for much of his life becoming POTUS and ushering in welfare for all 24-7....probably not a very good sell outside of young kids wet behind the ears.

I`m sure the Nox types will lament the "toooo bad Bernie didn`t run, he`da won in a landslide!".  I don`t think so, being a old Jewish guy he looks like the Black`s landlord, and to the successful "left leaners" they would secretly scared of his tax rates, Bernie would`ve gotten less votes than Hillary.  

Those so batpoop crazy hating Trump, watching SNL and Stephen Colbert, those jackasses already voted for Hillary and would vote a straight Dem ticket regardless.  This is the Dem problem, I don`t see their craziness winning any new voters, sure they make each other crazier but they`re still each only "one vote".   If anything their bizzarro behavior will chase away they few moderately sensible Dems that are left in the party.
