One of the most principled and honest senators is "unelectable", why?

[Scootaloo]

10. Kurska, this is the second time this year we've agreed on something. I'm getting a little freaked!

So far I've seen the following things make him "unelectable"

- "Too far left" (despite probably being about on the same level as president Truman)
- "His hair is bad" (think of it as a serious shit Geiger counter)
- "He's Jewish" (Yes. Really.)
- "He's a Northeastern liberal senator" (popular one from Clinton supporters. You know, the liberal senator from New York)
- "His accent" (a more oblique way of saying "He's Jewish" for people who realize how bad "he's Jewish" actually sounds)
- "He's a socialist" (according to the Republicans, so is every democrat and some republicans.)
- "WAAARRRRGGGGLARGBLLLE!" (One poster's attempt to explain that she hates Bernie because he's not Bernice)
- "He's unelectable." (Circular arguments are circular.)
- "He won't raise enough money" (I did not know the presidency was decided by auction.)
- "he voted against the Brady Bill" (Finally, a policy opposition! A candidate can be wrong about something.)
- "He's not very charismatic" (he can kiss hands and shake babies as well as anyone else, guys!)
- "He's too old!" (Six years older than Clinton isn't exactly ancient...)
- "He's not enough of a hawk" (is this supposed to be a negative?)

These are just a few of the ludicrous things...
