re: Bernie running as an Indie is the Dems best chance to hold the House

The Dems will try to interfere but that interference will lessen with the more state's Bernie wins. If Bernie sweeps SC and Super Tuesday like he has the last 3 primaries, it's over for the rest of the candidates. The only saving grace would be for someone to pick up a majority of states on 4/28's primary but if Bernie is still rolling with his current momentum by then I just don't see anyone in the Dem field pulling that off at that late a date (my bet is ST and the 28th is what Biden is working on).

66% of polled Democrat voters identify as Liberal or Very Liberal, that's whom Bernie is appealing to and why he's winning. Common understanding is that you go to the fringe in the Primary season then move to the middle in the General Election. Bernie is kind of like Trump in the respect that he's not going to move from his Primary stance if he makes it to the General Election.

This is a YUGE boon to Trump as Conservatives and Moderates will be coming out of the woodwork to vote FOR Trump as well as AGAINST Socialism (Bernie). If the polling is correct then a full 1/3 of Democrats will vote against Bernie in droves whether that means for Trump, for a 3rd party or staying home. Those who stay home or spite-vote will also harm down-ballot Democrat.

There is no "lose" for the country if Bernie becomes the Democrat nominee.
