...is that Sanders' "crossover appeal" might not be such a good thing. He is seen as an independent who is running against Hillary Clinton and crying out about her being establishment and close to Wall Street (even though the "Wall Street" donations were actually from employees, and after HC went to bat to help New York after 9/11). To the right-wingers who see themselves as "anti-establishment" and who have taken the media bait and hate Hillary Clinton and Democrats, Sanders seems appealing, particularly considering Republican candidates are ridiculous and there are no independents running except for Sanders, even though he is strategically running as a democrat.
This could back-fire on democrats who would find the party infiltrated by those who are as uncooperative and ideological as those far-right-fanatics who have taken over the republicans.
