      Biden does as well as Sanders despite having been the target of a full-bore GOP propaganda campaign for months. I'm skeptical Sanders will do as well once GOP deluges swing-state independents and GOP-leaners with stories about Burlington College and Bernie's socialism.

      Sanders has been facing a centrist Dem propaganda campaign (with news anchors hinting he's a commie, comparing him to Mao and his followers to blackshirts). Hasn't made a dent yet. Maybe it will as it intensifies.

      I don’t get this argument. We know sizable majority of Dems are fine with voting for a socialist. So the fact that this issue hasn’t hurt his primary chances is unsurprising, even if you accept - which I don’t - that his opponents have really pushed him on his ideology.

      The question is what happens in a general election where close to a majority of voters say they will not vote for a socialist for president and another 20% say they’re not sure and where big numbers of independents and Dems don’t know Bernie is a socialist.

      Bernie incredibly effectively addresses the socialism question. Look at what we did for Wall Street after the financial crisis. What Trump has done for the industries impacted by his insane tariffs. We already have socialism for industries & the rich. Why not for the little guy?

      So the government should be corrupt on behalf of the little guy the way it’s corrupt on behalf of the rich? Great message. Will really resonate with middle-class suburbanites.

      James, you now see the various bailouts and tax incentive to corporations and the rich -- all legal -- as "corruption"? Should Obama, Geithner, and others who crafted these bailouts be prosecuted?

      I don’t view the bailouts as corruption. I think they were a necessary evil, because nationalization would have been an unworkable disaster and letting the banks fail would have destroyed the economy. (I know smart people disagree w/one or both of those assertions.)

      So you're in favor of socialism for the wealthy. Fair enough. Let's have some socialism for the working class.

          Bernie's argument is a perfectly good argument. You seem to like to twist everything Bernie says to buttress your point that he is gonna be demolished. But you never predicted he would be doing so well.

          Not socialism. More like disaster relief for people who built fancy homes on a flood plain. Anyway, this has nothing to do with my point, which was about Bernie’s rhetoric rather than his policies. And if socialists think he’s representing them fairly, fine. I just wanted better.

          People with diabetes not having to ration insulin. People with cancer not spending their last moments on earth arguing with an insurance company after depleting their entire life savings and going bankrupt. Something like that.

          I don't mean to be disrespectful but I really wish intellectuals with important platforms would stop using "socialism" to mean "handouts" the way Republicans have taken to using it. The word has a meaning, though an increasingly vague one. Even Reagan understood that.
