116. Bernie is the next-door neighbor who borrows your lawn mower but doesn't return it.

No “Bernie mania,” please. Am seeking a full-time Democrat who could actually win.
There will be other genuine Democratic candidates far more viable than Bernie.

And please, no Bern-splaining replies that tell me how I’m off-base, or how the greatness of Bernie will sweep the nation and overwhelm the Electoral College. I’ve been there, and the novelty has long since worn thin. On this matter I’m adamant.
