see my column though - it hasn't been pushed by either side (yet) https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/damned-if-the-do-doomed-if-they-dont-why-sanders-rivals-dont-go-negative/2020/01/30/851e91a6-42b4-11ea-b503-2b077c436617_story.html …. being around online isn't the same thing.

Replying to @BrendanNyhan @HeerJeet
This idea that this hasn't been talked about endlessly since 2015 is a joke.

I’ve followed both campaigns closely, and am especially interested in the socialism question, and I’d only read an account of that egregious press conference - I’d never seen the footage.

I've seen the footage before, but the idea that this footage is going to be a fundamental game changer like every network has not been calling him a radical socialist and screaming Venezuela for the past 4 years is just a joke.

That's not even including the socialist label has been thrown out a million times prior to Sanders. The idea some undecideds are going to have a freak out over Sanders saying something about a country that doesn't even exist anymore is ludicrous.

I'm sure the sheer weight of a billion plus dollars going against him in the general will have an effect, but this is not uniquely damaging.

I don’t know about uniquely damaging, but I can’t believe it won’t hurt him in Florida when Trump coats the airwaves with footage of Sanders saying it almost made him puke to hear JFK talking about stopping communism in Cuba, because Bernie was so excited by the Cuban revolution.

He doesn’t need to win Florida to win the election.

If Dems don’t win Florida, the margin for error in the rest of the country gets really small.

Anyway, as I’ve said before, maybe you guys are right, and it won’t matter. But the time to find out if it does is now, not during the general election.

Sure, I agree. I want his opponents to release the oppo.

If the candidates thought there was something more effective than Bernie Bros to use do you not think they'd use it?

As far as I can tell, none of the other candidates, with the semi-exception of Klobuchar, have shown much interest in going after Bernie on anything (except his rude supporters). Warren has gotten a much harder time from the moderates than Bernie has.
