not gone after him and the MSM has not even vetted him. He can't even handle debates when it is Hillary's turn to speak he waves his finger in the air, makes faces and squirms around. So annoying.

He loves to send his surrogates and supporters out to do his dirty work so he can sit back and claim he doesn't do "negative campaigns." But I agree, his whining would be off the charts.

Can you imagine Trump vs. Sanders? 2 big crybabies whining all the way to November. NO THANKS!

usually mean nothing in the end. Sanders will alienate a lot of moderate democratic voters, since he would need those voters in order to put him over the top in swing states. Lets not forgot he is not only running against Trump but the whole Republican party and the mug slinging they will do is going to seriously hurt him. Calling him a socialist would be the least of his worries.

All Trump would have to do is go after Jane and Bernie would freak. Short fuse makes for very bad optics for a POTUS. Bernie couldn't handle a reporter asking a simple question about Jane's visit to Tent City.

11. Bernie has not been vetted yet by the media or Republicans.

He has too many Communist and Marxist relationships in his past, and support of Castro and the Sandinistas. His biography is loaded with controversy. And the media, in its relentless quest for $$$$ wants a horserace, and so to date, no real vetting on Sanders. But the Republicans have done their oppo research and are keeping their powder dry just in case.

Bernie wouldn't stand a chance.

He knows plenty good enough how to do negative campaigning. That's what he's been doing for quite awhile now. Thing is, Trump would start his stupidity, and Bernie would lose his temper in a big way.
