We're screwed. Trump will probably win again and we'll probably lose the House.

23. Not if we all stand behind the nominee

One thing that has been ignored is that Bernie actually has polled better against Trump on a consistent basis than anyone except Biden. Bloomberg overall - at best even with all his ads - merely ties Sanders.

As to Sanders, I think he needs to do a "Reverend Wright" speech explaining what he personally believes the role of government is. He has used the word "socialist" or "democratic socialist". However, his vision and his proposals are NOT what socialism is. I live in Burlington VT, and people who lived there when he was mayor speak of what he did as mayor. It was not as radical as some would think. Additionally, a former rabbi at the synagogue I attend who was a close friend of his argued that in the 2016 debates he should not have spoken of Denmark -- but FDR. In many ways, he is an FDR Democrat.

I know I would prefer someone else - Warren or Biden - but we may need to help make Sanders seen for what he is. As a person - and as a leader - he, like many other Democrats, is far far better than Trump. We may need to have to sell him to people who are undecided.
