2. Bernie is a regional candidate not a national candidate

His strength is in 90% plus white northern/eastern states and then even smaller, upper middle class.

The fact that Hillary is 3% ahead of him in a state like this...Iowa, showcases the incredible weakness of Bernie Sanders as a national candidate in a general/nationwide election.

Bernie would be a McGovern wipe out/landslide republican victory if democratic voters were foolish enough to choose him as their candidate for president.

Thank God for all the big delegate rich diverse states that aren't buying the snake oil that Bernie is selling!

I would say that Hillary could lose both and very likely would still get the nomination (n/t) CajunBlazer Jan 2016 #13
