Some weeks ago, Peggy Noonan thought that a Sanders win in 2016 would not have been bad

since, she theorized, a Republican Congress would have blocked his more "radical" ideas.

Thus, I wonder whether - heavens forbids - he will win the nomination, that many voters, scared of these "radical" ideas, would keep the senate R and flip the House R.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

The GOP blocked Obama at every turn. They'll do that to any Dem President if the toadies control the Senate. It has nothing to do with Sanders.
