How much of that is hard and how much soft I don't know.

I think in the end the Republicans will only use Bernie.

Bernie needs to focus on his great economic message and provide detailed policy proposals. That is where his appeal is.

He should also get ahead of distracting issues - release his tax returns and accept responsibility for his prior campaign's treatment of female staffers. That way, he can have a razor-sharp focus on his economic message.

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