“With the left wing loons in the Democratic Party. Not so much in a general election.”

true enough ...

“If the media turn their concentrated firepower on Sanders for the general election, he will not fare well.”

that would be true if it were to actually happen, but once bernie secures the nomination i fully expect the DNC to retract their attack-bernie orders, and then issue new orders to the fake stream media for them to instead support bernie and resume attacking trump ... if they don’t do that, then both their Senate and House delegations will be wiped out ...

The mass media played it down the middle in 1972—see this article as an example:

I know it is hard for us to imagine, but it is _possible_ it could happen again... ;-)

Pretty much. Reminds one of George Orwell's 1984, “We've always been at war with Eastasia”
