- The type of Latinos who vote in democratic primaries are not the same in general elections, I doubt he would do better
- considering Sanders is old, it would not be very wise to campaign during Covid as well. That's being said, killing of door knocking was a dumb strategy
If it is true that it was because of the socialist attacks by Trump, Sanders would have been an easier target.
Reagan was supposed to be an easy target for "taking away social security" compared to Bush.
Trump the racist was a much easier target in 2016 than Cruz or Kasich or whoever.
Why does this Reagan myth still come up , as the fact is he literally was the only Republican to be polled against Carter in 1979 as no republican other than Reagan was expected to get the nomination unless Ford had run . Bush wasn’t even considered that much of a serious candidate until he won an upset win in Iowa as he was literally polling in single digits against them . Also Reagan unlike Bernie had most of the support of the establishment in his party in his 1980 bid so again this is another myth that is just not true .
The democratic version of Reagan was not Bernie Sanders , it was Barack Obama but the problem is you elected him in your version of 1968 instead of 1980 and in 1968 you need a Nixon not a Reagan
