We know we can't trust polls. I have a hard time believing that Sanders is going to get widespread support. If he does, that is a scary proposition for this country moving forward.
Sure we can bet on him winning the West and N/E coast states plus Illinois, but swing states like FL, OH, MI, and PA. I can't see it happening.
What concerns me most about Bernie's level of support is that he isn't being laughed out of the room when he talks. Decades of public reeducation has fostered the idea that Socialism is an acceptable form of government in the US. That's just plain crazy.
It is alarming the amount of support he does have. Even the Dems who are opposing him don't want to call him out on specifics as they want to claim they are supportive of his crazy programs. Tucker had a good guest on last night which talked about this.
Those rooms are mostly full of his supporters. We know there are a lot of Trump haters, but we don't see it at his rallies. Likely a fair comparison there.
The one thing that can be said for a Sanders presidency is that it would drive a stake through the heart of the idea that Socialism works. Yes, it would crush the country doing so but people would look back on it and be able to see what happens when you implement it.
