I don’t know if I trust a 4 year old survey (five by election time). Young people are indoctrinated in school that socialism is fair and compassionate, capitalism is greedy, heartless and probably racist. Conservatives tend to be older, and therefore are dying faster then leftists. I’ll bet those numbers have changed.

For his VP pick Bernie needs to find somebody named Ert. That way it would be Bernie and Ert, 2016.

Half of citizens get free stuff and want to keep it that way, and a sufficient chunk of the rest either think they should be getting free stuff too...

I am very afraid you are right! This country is very close to the point where creeping socialism will not be reversible and will lead to the train wreck known as Venezuela.

Of course, Article Six requires every public official in this country, in every branch, at every level to take the oath.

Sadly, most of them think it’s nothing more than another photo op.

“Let it simply be asked, ‘Where is the security for property, for reputation, for life, if the sense of religious obligation desert the oaths ...?

Every supporter of the "Bern" I meet, I ask them how does Sanders plan to breach the conservative wall of southern states to win the nomination ...?

Crickets...and deer in headlights look.

Southern democrats (not progressives) don't buy into "Democratic" socialism...

The LSM “cooler head” liberals desperately trying to disqualify Sandersky before the base runs off the cliff with Mr. Unelectable in the general.

It would have to be someone named Robert who didn't mind being nicknamed "Ert." There is only one Dem Robert in the House (Robert Brady, PA), but he's a fat white guy, so that wouldn't work; Bern would have to look elsewhere.

Using Karl Marx’s ideas to help the middle class is like using Adolf Hitler’s ideas to help the Jews.

(Oh yeah? There’s a BIG DIFFERENCE between a Democrat Socialist and a Communist.)

Okay - list one idea pushed by a “Democrat Socialist” that doesn’t come from “The Communist Manifesto”.

And since you can’t, have a nice day....

“Democratic Socialist” is a contradiction.

Exactly. By the time election comes around, he’ll have reached the mandatory retirement age for Catholic bishops. If there’s any institution in the world that respects seniority and the past, it’s the Catholic church, and if you’re too old to serve for them, you’re too old to get elected.

Even if Bernie won the election, he would never serve as President.

Bernie is a cream puff.

A real socialist would denounce old Bernie and introduce him to election by pistol.

It’s going to boil down to the democrat that promises the most goodies.
Let’s face it, most of their supporters are on the dole. They buy votes.
As of this moment Sanders promises the most stuff.

Trump is already doing his schtick. Sanders can’t compete with that.
