Four frequently overlooked weaknesses of Bernie Sanders:
Another health issue, even a minor one, would end his campaign. Trying to knock off a candidate who has the largest plurality of delegates in a convention floor fight is an extremely difficult task … unless that candidate is 78 years old and has had two significant health incidents in a year. Sanders needs to stay visibly and indisputably healthy until the Democratic convention in mid-July. If Sanders suffers anything worse than a bad cold, he’ll give the superdelegates the excuse they need: “Of course we all love Bernie, but we just can’t risk nominating someone who could suffer another heart attack at any moment.”
He won’t, or can’t, vary his emotional tone.
Edit...
He’s got one big theme and isn’t that interested in what doesn’t fit that theme.
Edit...
His empathy is entirely abstract, not specific. Like any great centralized planner, Sanders’s ability to empathize with “the little guy” can be turned on and off like a light switch as needed. This week the great tribune of the working man made clear that those currently employed in fracking will understand that they must have their jobs banned because “the scientists are telling us that if we don’t act incredibly boldly within the next six, seven years, there will be irreparable damage done not just in Nevada, not just to Vermont or Massachusetts, but to the entire world.” Those workers do not believe that, and they are unlikely to just gently accept that they have to lose their jobs and paychecks for the greater good.

The death of one man is a tragedy. The death of millions is a statistic.
Snort, guffaw...
No such thing as an overlooked weakness.
Ignored, disregarded, or even appreciated, but not overlooked.
#5. He’s a f****** commie
This is just fear from NR and reasons bernie should not get the nod because they know he can’t win in the generals.
I can’t believe no one here can see that.
“...#5. He’s a f****** commie...”
#6. He’s a f****** BUM....never had a REAL job in his life. A parasite on the government after he was middle aged...total BUM.
“has had two significant health incidents in a year.”
!) Heart attack
2) ?????
I would like the professional opinion of all the psychiatrists who have evaluated Donald Trump and declared him unfit. Where are they when they are really needed?
Aside from his heart issues, it is easy to see that Bernie has some mental issues. If Sanders presented himself to a mental health facility, his physiological symptoms, would be of concern. His eyes are explosively frantic, his hand and arm movements are rapid and erratic, the flushing of his face, tightly pursed lips and flared nostrils are signs of anger and rage.
5. MSM covered up the project Veritas videos of his campaign staffers love of gulags, etc.
The MSM covered it up so it is just sitting there waiting for Trump to pounce.
Go Bernie, go
Bernie is the kind of guy who has no problem with breaking eggs to get his socialist omelet. People are just numbers on a page to him. He’ll destroy entire industries and put millions out of work without a thought.
He’s a hypocrite.
He used to complain about millionaires and billionaires, until he became a millionaire. He’s in the top 5%-10%, complaining about the top 1%, while supporting policies to keep people from getting where he is now.
Bernies health gives him a clean out. He can withdraw from the presidential contest and be very well compensated as he exits..
