I do not understand why Hillary supporters can not understand that...

140. I think you're deluding yourself on this.

I'm a Bernie supporter, which is why it scares me that so many Bernie supporters seem to have no idea what's in store for us all if and when the Senator wins the nomination.

I predict an anti-Semitic shit storm the likes we haven't seen in this country since the heyday of the German-American Bund. To think otherwise is just naïve. I predict the most intense red-baiting since Joe McCarthy. Honeymoon in Moscow? Refuses to accept Christ as his savior? The right wing will have a field day, and the bigots will absolutely be out in force.

I'm hoping that the higher-ups in the Sanders campaign have a plan on how to counter what's coming. Judging by his supporters on DU, my fear is we'll be nominating another Dukakis. Nice guy, great on the issues, totally blind-sided by the overt bigotry of the other side. Hell, they made John Kerry's war record a WEAKNESS. So to think Bernie won't get the full treatment is--I'll say it again--naïve.

At least the Clinton folks have been through this before, and hopefully have a plan in place. Bernie seems too smart not to know what's coming, but I sure hope--for all of us--that they have this covered well before the convention.

Watch what happens when Bernie wins Iowa and New Hampshire. If and when that happens, we can expect the GOP smear machine will crank up big time against him, with the media giving them all the air they need for their rants.

I still think Bernie is more viable in the general than Hillary, but let's not fool ourselves that any of this is going to be easy.
