Republican Operatives Try to Help Bernie Sanders: "We'll win every state if Bernie's their nominee"

They have been at war with her for more than two decades. While they've won many suckers among the BErnie fans, they still have not been successful in killing off Hillary. They know who they want as an opponent and it's Sanders. They don't have the "He's a Commie in Socialist Clothing" meme to use on Clinton. This is the most potent propaganda theme they could use.
