        Respectively disagree. He would not have held up under that kind of intense scrutiny.

        You mean the same scrutiny that did not take out Donald Trump would've taken out Bernie? I doubt it.

        That's the point. If the national spotlight didn't take out Trump, it damn sure would not have taken out Bernie.

        Socialism is still a dirty word in this country. That talking point alone, given enough time, will have sank Bernie in the General.

        Is that why he's the most popular politician? Because socialism is a dirty word? He isnt sinking.

        We are fed-up with the control from the corporate elite & the very rich (1%) hence our rejection of corporate financed runs.

        Bernie-haters "arguments" mostly fall into either: Bernie's a racist (wtf?), he's sexist (srsly?), or that he's an Independent dem (not Dem)

        To clarify: when I say "GOP-style", I mean the GOP's more unabashed/brazen in exploitative diversion, but both sides have always been guilty
