re: #36 Targetpractice

It goes back to something I noted downstairs, Bernie has been in Congress for the better part of 20 years. In that time, he’s been a relative unknown, only really became a household name last year. Yet Hillary has had every facet of her life gone over with a fine-toothed comb, has been under scrutiny most of her political life, and has been seen as the anti-Christ by at least half the country for as long as Bernie has been in Congress.

So yes, most of his “electability” right now is based off his being a relative unknown. Once that goes away, you’re gonna see those numbers plummet.

If Sanders ends up as the Democratic party nominee and faces the full force of the right wing noise machine, the results may end up looking similar to the effect of a 16” battleship gun on a fleet of 5 paper boats.
