The Berniebots are going to scream about this, but this Vox article makes an excellent point: Bernie has never faced an assault from the GOP, while Hillary has fought them for decades and has beaten them.
Bernie’s supporters are crying about suggestions that maybe Socialism is not a winning message for America... and just what do you think the GOP would do if Bernie was the nominee? They are not going to be nice and play fair.
And it’s not just about the campaign season, a major part of the job of being a Democratic President is fighting Civil War II with the Republicans. Obama has gotten very good at it, Hillary is great at it. Very doubtful whether Bernie would be any good at it.
It’s fine to like Bernie’s message, but you should realize he would be wrecked by the GOP in any kind of fight. All I’m saying is, use your damn head.
