That an open, unapologetic socialists is in the top 3 candidates for the nomination of a major political party doesn’t bode well for this Nation.

Yes, and that a huge number of his supporters are YOUNG Americans does not bode well for this country’s future.

That an independent is winning the nomination for the Democrat party doesn't bode well for Democrats.

The Democrat Establishment is in desperate straits - damned if they try to suppress Bernie Sanders, and damned if they don’t. The situation has progressed too far to be easily reversed, without losing huge boatloads of Democrat partisans on one side or the other. There is no possible coalition ticket between the Democrat Socialists and the more moderate Democrats that will satisfy any significant number of unaligned moderate voters they must attract to gain even a close plurality to the Republicans in most venues, as there will be a couple of splinter parties springing up that will take advantage of these schisms in the Democrat party itself.

It could still happen, that Bernie or someone of similar convictions could gain enough advantage to eke out an Electoral College majority, but they have put a huge handicap upon themselves.
