Right now he's just coasting by bc Republicans assumed Hillary was the nominee

He stands just as much chance as Hillary at this point. Hillary is already viewed as dishonest and untrustworthy by DEMOCRATS. And that's a proven fact as shown by the entry polls. Again, this is just more fear propaganda by Clinton supporters to scare people away from Sanders. Truth is Hillary is damaged goods and a lot of democrats know that, hence why there's the possibility of some suggesting that neither Sanders or Clinton might end up with the nomination.

Neither did Obama or most other presidential candidates. Weak argument there. Not everyone has the liberty of being Sec. of State. But it's not like she's without flaws, despite her experience. Sanders didn't support both efforts to destabilize the middle east that allowed for the rise of terrorist organizations, such as ISIS, like Clinton did with Iraq and Libya. Sanders knows enough and has good enough judgment - which,
YES, does matter.

Many Americans support this on both sides. This is not the argument to make against Sanders. There's a reason the Wall Street issue is a potentially damaging thing for Clinton.
edit: Also, most people in the 1% are okay with paying more taxes. Harry Reid will tell you that.

Yet another weak, unfounded, opinion based argument. Most people think he does just fine in debates. Hillary's performed better in most of them but that doesn't mean Sanders has been terrible.

The lies. Again, more fear propaganda. Learn what democratic socialism is. It's already implemented in several services that you likely use or have used such as SOCIAL security, public schools, highways, weekends (yes this is a socialist idea), minimum wage, hospitals, etc. Americans LOVE socialism and take advantage of it everyday. They just don't like the word.

Yet he's stated multiple times that it is in relation to his healthcare plan, where the average family would save around $5,000 a year for healthcare.
Try again.
