Is Bernie and his supporters tough enough to face the Republicans and the corporate establishment?

So far, it doesn't look like it. They can't even around questions of Democratic Socialism and the appearance that he's unelectable. In America, your toughness is tested, this is a rugged country culturally after all. Bernie and his supporters have to face the test and prove everyone wrong.
