Bernie would probably be my last choice out of the Democratic candidates....
But if it were to end up being Sanders vs Trump, without question, Sanders....
And Sanders would have a good if not the best shot at beating Trump... because his supporters have fire in their veins, they believe and support most all of his policies with utter passion.... have been crapped on for years... whenever Democrats have had the support of people under 40 who have grievances, want change, change that helps them... for once.... they end up winning! Clinton, Barack Obama, and even Trump won in the same manner.... his supporters, though older and less diversified, had that same fire in their veins only their primary grievance was with immigrants, and the establishment....
Bernie has programs for the middle to lower middle class that are truly hurtin' badly, and the crush the establishment spiel like Trump....
The reason I worry naught with Bernie is because he's only a one term president, he's too old to go a second round with his heart problems and age, and it is not that easy to accomplish your promises, when you follow the law and rules and norms.... look at Trump, who has broken every presidential rule and norm still does NOT have that 1800 mile big beautiful wall that Mexico was going to pay for....never got rid of the swamp, he increased it, never gave his better and cheaper health insurance plan, etc... yet, the Republican establishment got all their conservative to the hilt, judges... and Trump got a few token unqualified friends....
mY CONCERN, is the down ballot races with Bernie as the candidate at the top... will Dems lose seats?
