The GOP is going to bury Bernie in accusations of being a socialist.

7. Polls this far out are pretty meaningless

The general election is in November.

It's January.

4. Well, at least they got one thing right.

“My guess is that Republican operatives know that Clinton is likely to win the nomination even if Sanders upsets her in Iowa and New Hampshire. But an extended challenge will force her to use up money too early, and nudge her farther to the left,” Jack Pitney, a political science professor at Claremont McKenna College in California, told Bloomberg News. “At this stage, campaigns will grab for every advantage they can get.”

8. +1,000,000

Read Allan Lichtman's "13 Keys To The Presidency".
One of the keys a non confrontational primary.

The GOP lost this key. Bernie is going to cost us it too.

Hollywood is going to have to send in millions to compensate for the losses Bernie is incurring on us.

5. LOL more scare tactics

please

6. This is called strategy

If Sanders was a threat, they would not be doing anything to help him. What they are doing here is trying to force Clinton into a longer primary battle that will deplete resources and money going into the general.
