Supposedly in the new four-hour (yikes!) documentary Hillary the subject says of Bernie Sanders “Nobody likes him.” As with most of Hillary’s judgments, especially when it comes to gauging human desires, she is way off the mark. In fact, Sanders appears to be a reasonably likable guy, which accounts in part for his spike in the Democrat polls. There is a strong possibility he’ll end up the party’s nominee, a frightening prospect for the Democrat establishment and the country as a whole.
Current polling suggests Sanders might win the Iowa primary. He’s polling just below Biden (23-21%) within the margin of error. Nationally, he holds a slight lead among Democrat primary voters (27-26%) also well within the margin of error. The same poll has Warren at 15%.
This has reportedly alarmed top Democrats. Not only does Sanders present the type of truly radical socialist that wealthy Democratic elites really don’t want jiggling with the economy and their stock portfolios, they think a Sanders candidacy effectively will secure Trump’s reelection. Even worse, it might flip the House as well, mirroring the crushing defeat that befell Jeremy Corbin, the far-left British politician, who Sanders resembles in many respects.
President Sanders would attempt to radically remake the United States into a socialist state further to the left, further indebted, and further internationalized than even Western Europe’s most liberal polities. It would be a historical disaster of epic and perhaps irrevocable proportions.
Sanders ideas are so radical that his chances of beating Donald Trump in November appear marginal. It’s assumed he would not bring a heavy Democratic turnout, struggle with blacks, and alienate the critical independent voters who effectively will decide the election.

He’s got a bad ticker?
Uh... no, not at all.
You’re right. He has a reputation for being a total arsehole.
You mean, other than the fact that the dude’s full-goose bozo, hates anyone who has shown some measure of success, wants to make us all equally miserable (except for the ‘party elite’, of course), and has all the brains of a head of cabbage...
Yeah, he’s got problems.
Just one problem?
I know a couple of female bernie bots that think he is the best thing ever.
I hope it lasts.
He’s very beatable.
The legions of young stupid white kids won’t be nearly enough.
The blacks I know don’t like him at all.
Say he’s creepy
And though they won’t say it, rich liberals don’t want an Uncontrolled socialist in the white house.
Because he’s the kind of guy that would have them killed.
I truly believe that.
Reports are that all he did in his youth was go on hateful rants about capitalism and capitalists.
And write perverted stories.
Notice the author does not say that Sanders is a likeable guy.
Article starts out with a logical fallacy, therefore, according to the truth tables, the conclusion is a fallacy as well... I studied this in college.
they think a Sanders candidacy effectively will secure Trump’s reelection.
News to Democraps. This can be said of all their candidates.
I wonder if any of Bernie’s financing can be traced back to Communist sources? It may be through neutral or vanilla looking intermediaries, but in reality Communist.
I recall that it was proven that financing for much, if not all, of our 60’s cultural revolution’s activities, organizers, organizations, came through Cuba to Canada down to them.
In the sense that ALL of the Democrat candidates would be disastrous for the country the stakes are incredibly high with any of them.
The belief that Bernie is more socialist than the others is nuance. They are all socialist/communists and the fact that Bernie is slightly more so than they only matters in terms of public perception. The end result with any of them in the WH will be disaster.
Yes - yes I do.
Yes, I did notice... I’m just making literary criticism.
“In fact, Sanders appears to be a reasonably likable guy”
Strongly disagree. He has a street protesters personality. A sanctimonious simpleton who legislates by slogan.Spent too many years with a sign in his hands before going on the public teat. He is a humorless combative gnome living in an alternate universe.
You need new friends.
The problem with Bernie is that he is a commie.
