As lifelong conservative and former Republican strategist, Rick Wilson (author of "Running Against the Devil: A Plot to Save America From Trump—and Democrats From Themselves) correctly points out, Trump’s handlers are SALIVATING at the idea of Sanders being the nominee. (They would be frothing at the mouth if it were Bloomberg—different matter entirely.) The Trump attack machine would call any Democratic nominee a “socialist”, of course, but somebody who calls himself a “social democrat”? (Not to mention his USSR and Cuba easily-exploitable weaknesses.) If Sanders is the nominee the turnout will be immense on both sides, but in all probability more people will vote against him than for him. Because they would be running scared after all the Trump attack machine’s bombing the living hell out of Sanders. (Btw, Wilson’s other book, “Everything Trump Touches Dies” is ALSO an excellent read.)
