Can Sanders Win the Nomination? Only in a Parallel Universe

I was going to copy and paste some paragraphs of this article, but to fully understand the nature of the challenge Bernie Sanders faces going forward you need to read the article. It is totally fact based with very little opinion. If you are a Hillary supporter you will love it; if you support Bernie you won't.

We watched on CNN the 1988 campaign with Roger Isles and Lee Atwater smear campaign against Dukakis. This will be a child play if and when they will go after Sanders.

His personal life - who exactly was the woman who gave birth to his son?

His tax return

His "free college" and "free healthcare" that would increase the deficit and will cause the markets world wise to collapse. Yes, I know people hate "Wall Street" but they love and need their 401Ks and IRAs and they want their employers, their banks and their insurance companies to be around.

His old report that breast cancer and lack or orgasm are related

His attitude toward Israel

We expect our leaders to attend church service on occasion - we really should not - where will he go?

One member of the Israeli Kibbutz where he spent some time was indicted and arrested by the Israeli government as being a Soviet agent.

And so it goes..

... and then they will start telling lies that are very believable given Bernie's socialist background.

I hope she gets a break before the convention to re-energize and focus on the GE.

It looks like as Sanders' chances to win the nomination get worse, his supporters get more and more concerned and send him more and more money.
