4. I wouldn't necessarily say that Bernie's policies have very little support

In my mind, a full-blown "policy" consists of 2 things...an identified problem and a proposed solution.

Bernie has correctly identified (albeit not the first by any stretch) quite a few problems that most Democrats, many Independents and even some Republicans fully agree need to be addressed. But merely identifying a problem is only half of the battle...the other half is coming up with realistic and viable ways to actually solve it.

And that is where Sanders has failed miserably...and why the vast majority of Democrats now look at him as a half-assed candidate.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
