I think people are wise to that approach now, especially the younger ones. I think they're looking for a different kind of candidate and a different kind of campaign, which is why I think Bernie' s popularity will soar as people find put more about him. Some older ones might not be able to get beyond the socialist tag, but I think most people will be willing to overlook it once they hear him talk about the issues. We aren't in the 80's and 90's anymore. The strategies that worked then are well past their expiration date.
