10. Republicans want Bernie, because Bernie is easy to destroy.

Bernie is not the standard usual member of the Democratic Party. He is his own party, and has that history.
If one denies that "history" then that person is denying the truth of who Bernie is/was/ and will always be.
One thing Bernie is, he is a "socialist"... That is his history and defining that history will hurt Bernie and the Democratic Party. That process of defining "socialism" could hurt us, and cost us the election.

I need to add this, it really doesn't matter that much of our society is already "socialistic"..What matters is what Bernie will be depicted as during the election. The definition of socialism as it exists in our current society, would be a waste of time, because the Republicans will send the idea home in a vicious, lying way...(as they always do)'
Educating the electorate that we already have some "socialism" would and is a waste of time. That is a bad word whose definition is not important. Why? A bad word is still a bad word..get the point?

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
