      Yep, if Bernie wins Iowa we're in for the greatest freak-out in American history, with a slew of negative ads making Bernie out to be a combination of Stalin, Mao, Charles Manson, and Bin Laden.https://twitter.com/EricLevitz/status/1219977577219207173 …

      I think an Iowa win would trigger an unprecedented onslaught of negative messaging against him (one turbocharged by Bloomberg bucks), and it's an open question to me how well he'd be able to weather it.

      I think that crucially you may have major institutions (businesses, maybe intelligence / the CIA) leaking to the press that they would not work with a Bernie Presidency. To say, well if you vote for this guy you're getting a recession and a commander in chief who can't command

      not sure "banks and troops don't like this guy" is gonna put the knife in the way they want, but i guess we'll see!

      "banks don't like him" is good for him. But troops are popular, and the claim will be he can't keep americans safe

      Bernie gets the most donations from troops. After Trump, it'll be hard to make the argument Bernie can't be Commander in Chief. They'll try it but it won't fly I think.

      Well the trick with Corbyn was not that "the rank and file of the military will hate him" but "intelligence services will not share secrets with him because he is going to just publish everything like the bolsheviks did"

      I don't think that's what cost Corbyn the election. It was fence-straddling on Brexit.

          Well obviously that is not what cost him the election. I'm just delineating the attack I actually said would be launched on Bernie from "the troops don't support him"

          He needs to focus more on wooing Warren as VP/Treasury Secretary and handing over the anti-monopoly portfolio to her. Many on the left are skeptical that Bernie is a tool of SV is a form of controlled opposition for them. Whereas we know Wall Street and SV are terrified of her.

          Also he wasn't popular. Does Bernie have a plan to take on big tech and monopolies?

          Yeah. I understand the inclination to compare the UK elections to what's happening here but there are honestly so many key differences that it's not really helpful

          It was a concerted right wing disinformation campaign that lost Corbyn's Labour the UK general election but ironically given the length of the US Presidential election campaign there will not be the same time to focus on Sanders. The smears against Corbyn were ongoing since 2016.
