Bernie wins the nomination. I've seen a lot of posts extolling the virtues of Socialism but having to go on the defensive about the meaning of it in the GE would be a losing strategy. The word is toxic- I regret that Bernie called himself a Socialist- it's his biggest mistake so far. The ironic thing is, according to the definition of Socialism, Bernie is not a Socialist.
