    As Sanders moves into first place in some polls, a reminder of the hazards of nominating for president a candidate with a 40 year record who has never faced tough scrutiny. Latest in @theatlantichttps://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/01/bernie-sanderss-biggest-challenges/605500/ …

        The Sanders campaign has no idea what will hit them in the general and no capacity to deal with it.pic.twitter.com/ADW1zbUX1i

        Sanders' supporters argue that if there existed oppo on Sanders, the Clinton campaign would have used it. That belief is one more sign of the naivety of the Sanders campaign. Clinton didn't need oppo to win and wanted to unify the party afterward. Trump won't be so gentle.

        I itemize just *some* of the incoming awaiting Sanders, but there is more, much more. Proper campaigns begin with self-oppo, but of course Sanders is temperamentally incapable of either allowing or accepting unwelcome information.

        I won't recapitulate the Sanders' risks here on Twitter. See the article. https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/01/bernie-sanderss-biggest-challenges/605500/ … But I will anticipate 2 more personal questions ...

        1) No, I am not "afraid that a Sanders presidency will threaten my class privileges" because a) there won't be one b) Sanders nomination dooms D hopes of flipping the Senate & c) in the freakish unlikelihood of a Sanders presidency, the House will also be lost by Dems in 2022

        2) If Sanders does emerge as Democratic nominee, I would vote for him over Trump as a forlorn gesture of protest. I'd prefer however to cast a vote for a candidate who might actually remove Trump from office.

        Yet there are very important things for other Dems to learn from Sanders' campaign! Emphasize: Practical, not theoretical; Material, not cultural; Universal, not particular; Left but not Woke. Via his "land that time forgot" Marxism, Sanders arrives with new right answers

        This will surely get a reasoned response. 😐
