On Bernie

I just got this comment from my sister.....

" I like his message, but not sure he's electable."

It drives me nuts that people are so swayed by the MSM,

I'll work on my sister, but there is a lot of work to do on educating the masses..................

They have been swayed by the MSM?
What if they aren't sure he is electable and don't even pay attention to the MSM?
Maybe your sister just understands politics.

So, unelectable is measurable by different standards.

"Understanding of Politics" is, as well, a subjective matter.
