When you said Foreign Policy isn't really a big factor, that really struck me as an ignorant comment. Foreign Policy is HUGE for voters. More so now than before with the new Cold War as well as consistently staged events designed to bring us to War with Iran.
Second, the reason people see Bernie as a stronger candidate than Warren, is because Bernie has a historical record of People funded, people driven ideas and movements for the working class. This includes the rust belt. Warren however, has only just begun using ideas similar to Bernie because that's the ONLY way to stay in the race. Bernie's ideas work, and people realize that, so the rhetoric from other candidates will be similar to Bernie, but that doesn't necessarily mean those other candidates truly care about those ideas like Bernie does because his life, his record, revolves around those ideas. He wont shaft the voters.
Lastly, the idea that when old people think of Bernie as less attractive, is because of the day and age old people had to live through the Red scare and McCarthysm. They hear "Socialism" as a smear against Bernie, and automatically rule out support. What they dont understand is that Social Democracy is actually closer to what the Constitution envisioned. Socialism in South America was used as an economic target for Neo-Cons during the 1900s, which is why if you talk to historians most of those countries were covertly or directly overthrown by the US because of imperialist ambitions that relate to today's conflicts in places like Syria, Libya, and Venezuela. They're not legitimate conflicts, they're unconstitutional, illegal, and brutal violations of all morality.
