In response to "I don't see it that way and he's taken much more seriously than any of them." by Krusty

You know how you view the Tea Party? That's how non-liberals (not just uberconservatives) view Bernie.

I know a number of people who won't vote or will vote third party in Bernie-Trump. They'd vote Cruz/Kasich over Bernie. They'd vote Hillary over Trump .

Bernie scares them. And their not Tea Party people, but their not liberals either.

Keep in mind, plenty of people think Obama (Obama!) is a socialist (!) so that makes Bernie an ubersocialist. Trump has given Bernie cover. Once his platform is in the mainstream, he's an easy target in the general. Those ideas, while I agree with most of them, are just not viable in the general election today.
