I'm a big Bernie fan, but some of his Image issues ARE his own fault. First off, American's don't GET words like " Socialism " - they equate it with Communism and the Stalinist Regime - NOT with Health Care ... Canada, among many other Western Nations HAS Universal Health Care and Canada IS NOT a Communist Country, but to MANY Americans there is a disconnect of Logic on this issue. Sanders also tends to use words like " Revolution " ... a dumb idea, because too many Americans start having visions of Fidel Castro and Che Guevara. Bernie denigrates Capitalism regularly, and his views are not only correct, but completely verifiable to anyone with a bit of energy and modest reading skills but, - while this may describe the majority of Americans, it leaves out a substantial number of Voters, just the same. Bernie should be the DNC pick to run against Trump, but he WON'T be. Most of the blame for this is the Democrat bias against any sort of REAL change ... and just a wee scrap of it is Sanders' own fault. You can't be too frank in the Politics of an easily frightened Nation. And despite all of America's Military and Economic power, she IS a frightened Country.
