9. I think the more people know Sanders, the less they like.

You do, so you may not realize the problems greater exposure would present. Most voters don't want class warfare and socialist revolution, they want the government the people established to work for them as it's supposed to. And being Democrats, they know they're really not just the same as Republicans, so what on earth is going on in his mind that he doesn't like them?

Of course you're talking about his getting his campaign rhetoric to a lot more people and somehow avoiding discussion of what he doesn't want discussed. The "real forums" all candidates would love to have.

It's true that in 2016 the media pumped him up and buried most of the rocks that might have caused thei r horse to stumble. But so far this time, even as 1 candidate in 24, there's been markedly more attention to what they protected him from before. Just look at how MSM just reported his use of Trump conspiracy talk; that was SOP for him before, but back then crickets from the MSM.

Of course as more candidates drop out, investments in him as a splinter candidate will become more worthwhile. Maybe he'll even have more town halls just for him. Even so, this time it will be different, including more attention to how corporate interests and foreign governments are trying to subvert and throw our elections to the Republicans. And this time we'll be seeing more of it exposed in real time, not after voting days.

In any case, real forums have a way of revealing truths good and bad, a double-edged sword.
