It's so hard to NOT respond on GDP about Sanders (and not Clinton) going on FOX!

FOX has done several very positive pieces about Bernie, including long segments with one of his spokesmen. FOX clearly wants him to win the Democratic nomination, because they know that the huge onslaught of negative ads will make him easy to beat. It was very smart of Hillary to decline. I know that the Bernie folk will say "but he does better in the polls than Hillary against Trump"...but as we all know, Bernie has had NO negative attacks against him. Saying that his policy proposals don't make sense are what they think is negative...wait until they see right wing attacks against his religion, his political affiliation, his support of legalized pot, his free offers of health care and college tuition - along with an associated tax increase. Granted, I see the benefit in most of these stances, but know that a candidate needs to be more moderate for success in the GE.

I'm just trying my hardest not to offend the Bernie supporters because I know that once Hillary puts this away, we will need to get their support...but it's so difficult after spending even a few seconds on GDP!
