Bernie Sanders, he would have won in a landslide in 2016 and be a shoe-in in 2020. He did not, and is not. So, I have to question your statement on logical grounds.

It appears that the majority isn't "feeling the Bern."

Perhaps you're mistaken, eh?

7. You beat me to it. If the "vast majority" wanted it, not only would they have elected him....

.....but the other 72 of the 79 candidates endorsed by his Super PAC, Justice Democrats, in 2018 would have been elected.

I'd say, if 72 of 79 of their candidates LOST, then a "vast majority" of Americans do not want what he's pushing.

I guess not to some.

Maybe "a vast majority" means "me and my buddies." But that's the folks we have in office right now, isn't it?

And if he's always been a mainstream politician (I would argue that, for most of his career and in many ways, he has), does that make him part of the establishment?

himself. He seems incapable of building constructive alliances to pass legislation. He simply doesn't work well with others. He hates the party he has attached himself to. Ergo his signal lack of accomplishment as a legislator.
