Hypothetical GE match-up polling is meaningless at this juncture.

37. You don't think David Brock has vetted Sanders?

Lol!

And he COULDN'T FIND anything negative, so he designed a Rovian program of attacking Sanders' very impressive positives, with "swift-boating" dirty tricks and "Big Lie" propaganda, trying to make Sanders--of all people on this earth--out to be a racist, and a liar on his civil rights activism and arrests in Chicago, and trying to turn him into a sexist, a man whose record on women's issues and gay issues is PRISTINE and goes back for many decades, and trying to turn Sanders into the leader of gang of violent Bernie thugs--Sanders, an inveterate gentleman who has always favored peace over unjust war and is known for his ability to get along with people of opposite views and get things done (the "Amendment king" in a RW Congress!). We see these "Big Lies" cross our view every day here at DU.

This Brockian-Rovian strategy was also designed to cover up Clinton weaknesses: Her early support for Barry Goldwater, who opposed the Civil Rights Act; hers and Bill's policies of mass incarceration of the black and the brown, and their cruel hits on the poor; Hillary's waffling on 3rd trimester abortion and her support of the anti-gay Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA); her fomenting of war and injustice at every turn--Iraq, Libya, Honduras, Iran (not to mention who her advisors are--Robert Kagan of PNAC and Henry Fucking Kissinger); and her vicious and racist campaign tactics in 2008.

Oh, yes, Bernie Sanders towers over Clinton as one of the most courageous and consistent human rights defenders of the modern era, and she is a dwarf by comparison. There is really no comparison. And so, that's what David Brock set about changing, with Stalinist techniques. He found absolutely nothing to attack, so he decided to turn reality on its head, and turn this good man into a racist and a sexist who approves of violence.

And on yet another investigative issue for Brock's spies: Sanders likes simple living and has no wealth, just modest savings and a home. He is clean as a whistle--an extraordinary accomplishment in this era of bought-and-paid-for office holders, and this is reflected in his presidential campaign which has no superpac and accepts only small donations; while Hillary...gawd, Hillary, whom Wall Street handed half a billion dollars for her pocket money, in exchange for "speeches," and who takes money from every uber-wealthy entity on earth who wants a piece of the White House!

What does Brock do? He started a "Big Lie" that Sanders is running for president to bilk his small donors of their money!

Yeah, Sanders got vetted. Not a thing Trump can say about him except that he's a "socialist," at which point Trump will get laughed at across America, by the American people who are sick unto death of welfare for the rich.
