What do you suppose the Clinton campaign fears most about Senator Bernie Sanders' ?

I suspect they may not fear a thing.
that would be the worst case scenario,
and clearly not the case.
they are worried about some things, undoubtedly.
Does anyone else foresee an overwhelming
turn of events in the future?
A showing of support that takes Bernie to 1600 Pennsylvania?
Im feeling sorry for the former First Family.
They have done well for themselves though,
and retirement should be
comfortable.

But it will be hard to mount a serious challenge amidst the growing Clinton prosperity.

I do not want to take a weatherman anywhere, much less to see which way the wind is blowing. Thanks for the advice.

Face it, if we equal things out, they won't have anyone they feel superior to anymore.

forces her to campaign in front of the voters; she fears saying something in the primary that will set her back in the general election, and she equally fears saying something that will play well with independents in the general election but will not be received well by primary voters.

She worries too much that she's going to fuck up and people won't like her so she comes off as rehearsed and stilted in situations where she should be comfortable and likable. She fears campaigning generally and specifically fears the added levels of campaigning that she is having to do because of Sanders. Hers fears are magnified by the fact that Sanders (and Trump) are enjoying the thing that she fears (they enjoy campaigning and meeting people and giving speeches on topics they believe in).

That's what she fear about Sanders.
