will be the right wing chant and they'll scare independents into thinking Bernie is some kind of Stalin.

Obama was a moderate and they painted him as a socialist.

Bernie IS a socialist and it will be an extremely uphill battle.

He is a good man and if he wins the nomination, I'd happily vote for him.

Hope there is a spirited campaign that forces Hillary to the left.
