2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Bernie proves he is more electable with shocking new poll numbers. [View all]doc03
(36,421 posts)21. Exactly the Republicans haven't touched him, I wonder why? They even
ran an ad in Iowa calling him a socialist to draw votes away from Hillary, the old reverse psychology trick. Funny how history repeats itself, we went through the same program with Obama. Obama got the far left and youth vote then when he didn't get 100% of what he

I really think that's why the youth vote is buying into this. They don't remember 1984 or 1972
