Bernie CANNOT WIN. The right has been busy painting him with the "communist" brush and if you think that won't scare the MAGAts you haven't been paying attention.
It is NOT a sure thing that Trump will lose. Far from it.
We CANNOT afford to front a candidate who will piss off the rest of the country. Do you honestly believe that after witnessing the backlash to 8 years of the first black President that this country will put into office an openly gay man? A man whom the Right believes is a Communist? A woman? You are DREAMING.

Hear, hear. I agree completely... except I don't think winning is quite as sure a thing as you do.
