'BOOGEYMAN FOR THE DEMOCRATS':
The article opines that Sanders winning the Democratic Party 2020 Presidential nomination is a 'poison pill' for the Democratic Party:
'GOP lawmakers and strategists believe Sanders, who identifies as a democratic socialist, is not only beatable in November but could have a disastrous down-ballot impact for Democrats in key congressional races. “I would think that in a lot of those swing states it’s a very complicated factor to have him at the top of the ticket if you’re a down-ballot Democrat running for House or Senate.'
The predictions that a Sanders nomination would be a headache for Democrats comes as he holds a lead in the hunt for delegates while moderates remain torn among several potential alternatives: 1) They can 'steal' the nomination from him again as they did in 2016 and potentially cause a 'civil war' inside the Democratic Party that could possibly destroy the Party OR 2) attempt to distance themselves from him, especially in Trump-supporting districts.
Choosing to thrust the Party into a 'civil war' for the soul of the Party that could destroy the Party isn't desirable. 'Stealing' another nomination from Bernie proves the GOP and WH's Impeachment Counsel - who warned the Democrats were trying to steal 2 elections, 2016 & 2020 - were right and risks destroying the party.
Attempting to distance themselves from Sanders to try to salvage keeping control of the House and perhaps win the Senate is proving to be a Herculean task...and Bernie is making it even MORE difficult every day.
-- Case in point, Sanders' recent praise for Communist Fidel Castro and his oppressive Communist regime has made it IMPOSSIBLE for Democrat Florida Reps. Donna Shalala and Stephanie Murphy to support and 'ride the coat tails' of the 'Castro Fanboy' (nickname given to Sanders by the NRCC). Hell, just trying to KEEP their seats down in Florida with a Pro-Castro Presidential Nominee / leader of your party might be a problem.
'BOOGEYMAN FOR AMERICA':
The guy is a self-identified SOCIALIST , many of whose policies / goals more emulate COMMUNISM.
Case in Point: 'MEDICARE FOR ALL'
The Democrats caused a massive problem by passing Obamacare, a socialist agenda-driven, minority-supported law they did not even read before they rammed it down the throats of the majority of Americans who did not want it. Harry Reid openly declared it was designed to fail, began to fail faster than they expected, and was mean as the 1st step in herding Americans toward socialist Democrat-controlled 'single payer'. Under Obama's plan, though, Americans still had a CHOICE of buying it / complying or not.
Under the 2020 Democrats / Bernie's plan, however, all US Citizens' CHOICE will be eliminated - their plan is to make your right to choose ILLEGAL, make private ownership of a product against the law, to FORCE Americans into compliance and under the FORCED control of the government. Your right to make decisions about your own health care would be stripped away - your life no longer your own.
The sad / scary thing is this is no scary bedtime or campfire story - it's what is at stake in November.
