"Hard to know whether Sanders is electable until we see how he handles a fusillade of negative ads."

That's from David Corn on Twitter minutes ago:

Hard to know whether Sanders is electable until we see how he handles a fusillade of negative ads. But a Sanders nomination will likely lead to an even more divisive election (if that’s possible).

[applegrove]

1. True this. He needs to cost out his plans.

[highplainsdem]

3. Yes, he needs to do that. But what I think David Corn means is that Sanders hasn't faced

the fusillade of attacks Biden's already faced, despite which Biden still polls well against Trump. We have no idea how Sanders would do after a similar barrage of attacks.

And the GOP won't launch those attacks until Sanders has the nomination because they want to run against him.

[applegrove]

6. Well he will get attacked from here on in by democrats running for the nomination. nt

[rwsanders]

15. Sure it was him and not the Onion?

Short memories in punditry strikes again.

[emmaverybo]

2. Well, he does get upset when criticized. Most criticism does seem unfair to the subject of it,

but Bernie takes it up and gets in a lather. How will that look to people still deciding about him?
Some like that sort of thing. Some don’t.

4. Mike will get it done.

[highplainsdem]

5. That would be the best thing he could do for the Democratic Party. Highlight Sanders' weaknesses.

[Scotch-Irish]

18. Or Joe's.

Just sayin'

[dalton99a]

7. +1.

[Cha]

8. Is not that the Bloomin' Truth!

Thank you, hpd!

[wisteria]

9. You mean he will finally get vetted ?

[Fiendish Thingy]

10. Well, what is stopping Bloomberg and the others from running attack ads?

I’m sure they will pile on at the next debate, but it will be too little, too late.

[tritsofme]

11. Bloomberg should put his treasure chest to good use.

[James48]

12. Bernie is going to make a great President.

He isn’t afraid to tell the truth, and push for big things.

I’m with Bernie.

[Doreen]

13. Well, if he doesn't have

the temper tantrum that he had when he did not win his last primaries it might just be fine.

14. $2 billion incoming

Hammering his planned tax increases for middle class voters and whatever nutty ancillary shit they can dig up (1972 essay, grainy videos praising Castro).

His supporters can spin the hamster wheel of $18 donations all they want but he will get swamped money wise.

[blue-wave]

16. It's clear Bernie hasn't been vetted

Certainly not as vetted as Joe Biden. Joe has survived it all and after Nevada is on the ascendant path. Let's see if Bernie can survive as many hits as Biden. I suspect we'll find out soon enough.

[erlewyne]

17. I'm voting for Bernie Sanders.

If he is on the ticket.

19. If you dislike Sanders the middle will hate him IE his lack of swing state appeal outside of MOE
