please. conservative demonisation of sanders literally can't get worse than conservative demonisation of obama, and you can ask president romney where all that high conservative turnout got him.
let's not forget that it was already an article of faith among most conservatives that obama is a socialist.
This is the point that nobody seems to understand. Conservatives have inoculated Sanders against the accusation that he's a socialist. So does the fact that he embraces the term. They call him a socialist, he says, "OK, fine, let's talk about policies," rather than spluttering about arguing over what epithet he should be called.
You guys are 100% correct. If you ask the average Fox News devotee whether Bill Clinton, Obama, and Carter are socialists they will say yes. The word "socialist" has been so over used and abused by the far right that it has been drained of its power. Bernie's rise is a testament to that.
Plus Bernie has something no other viable candidate has... credibility. When he is on the stump he is the most genuine person out there that has a shot of winning the nomination.
