I hate to say it but I agree. This is a very scary time in America.

Trump is 1 o'clock on a clock dial
Bernie is 11 o'clock on a clock dial
Opposite ends of the political spectrum, but their supporters both want to throw off the current political order. Their base voters are closer to each other on the clock then they're respective establishments.

Really? So you think you're closer to BigMac than you are Bob or Iron?

I like Rubio clinging on as if Florida will change absolutely everything. Today was such a shitshow. Somebody stick a fork in him.
CNN points out that Trump dominates the airwaves. After they broadcast Trump selling stakes.
If BigMac's view is to overthrow the entrenched establishment rather a purity test of principles it is possible. I haven't read up on BigMacs reasons for supporting Bernie.

Clearly everyone on the Republican side has lost their fucking minds, so the only hope we have left is to plea for the democrats not to do the same and nominate Sanders, thus sealing our fate.
I think the exact opposite, but it's moot, since the conventional wisdom thinks otherwise and thus it is unlikely Sanders will have the opportunity to put this experiment to the test. In point of fact, I think that a hypothetical Sanders-Trump election would very possibly lead to a blowout in the former's favour. You all are too carried away with America's appetite for nativist fascism, I think. Not saying the potential isn't there (Bush did get re-elected, after all), but I wonder.
The media is Trump's free publicity machine. The same media is trying its best to pretend that the Vermont senator barely exists as a legitimate candidate. And yet, and yet.
While I do side with Bernie as a liberal, and most of his ideas I get behind (thought I just don't know HOW they would be implemented). For those that state nothing would get done with him as President.....a gridlocked capital tends to do really well with budget and keeping things in check.
But I just don't see Bernie being electable in the general, and unfortunately it doesn't have much to do with his policies
He's a jew
He's a socialist
He had a child with a woman who isn't his wife
He had his honeymoon in Moscow
He hasn't passed or authored any meaningful bills, which I feel is the most damning, as he's shown to be mostly talk and unable to compromise.
Will minorities come out and support Bernie like they did Obama? And yes Obama had every name thrown at him, the difference is Bernie IS a socialist. Obama took the high ground and didn't even acknowledge the shit thrown his way (minus the birth certificate)
Bernie has to own it.

Will the American voters know the difference?

Bernie will get those supporters, but he also draws in previously disenfranchised liberals and white voters (particularly independents). Believe it or not, the latino and asian votes actually don't matter at all when it comes to the electoral college while the black vote can help swing Southern-Nothern divides such as North Carolina or Virginia.
If Sanders were the nominee, he'd have Obama campaigning behind him which would then make him "Obama's heir" which is the same reason blacks have been voting for Clinton. It will be easy to get their vote.
