...it would be easier for me to feel positive about his supporters and confident about how an elected President Sanders would perceive his base, his support, and his promises and obligations.

But some version of reply #17 seems all too prevalent in any thread referencing Sanders and I can't help but feel some concern that there's enough of that in his support base to have a negative influence on how President Sanders might feel supported, or respond to opposition, once in office.

observationally,

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