The real problem is reality! If he was viable to win it all, the Green Party would have won the presidency at least once before!
Hasn't happened!
If you think they threw the book at Obama, calling him a Muslim, non-Christian, that he's a socialist...
well, none of those things were true, so they couldn't really bring him all the way down, but it did work somewhat with way too many!
In the case of Bernie, it would all be true. He isn't a Christian, he's Jewish, but actually he doesn't practice any religion at all....Great!
He's lived a long life and he has a long documented trail! He was an actual Socialist (Liberty Union Party) before he became a "Democratic Socialist". Just because they didn't care in Vermont; Vermont doesn't equal the entire US! I remember that some thought that Obama had been vetted because he was already a Senator.....but Presidential vetting? Well that's a whole other matter!
Not the hills I need to die on for policies that aren't gonna get done.
On election day, it would be the Republicans mocking us with the ..."Feel the bern" yet?
But enough about Bernie Sanders for now......
