Why Bernie Sanders wouldn't have won against Donald Trump in the election.

Nah, I think Sanders is great and would be a good president, but Trump would have easily beat him. All he had to do was call him a commie and the masses would panic.

This is probably the truth.

I live in the south and I used to work in a redneck community.  I've seen virtual KKK meetings take place at the tables and had people leave anti-evolution propaganda all over the store.  

I tell you now, some of these communities would have been thrown into an absolute panic at the idea of Sanders as president.  The idea that socialism is the same thing as communism is ironclad among the less educated.  All Trump would have to say is that Sanders wants to turn the US into the USSR and that would be that.

Just imagining some of the rants gives me a feeling of nostalgia.  I used to have a blast baiting some of the more extreme customers.  

Nevermind the fact that Bernie's policies weren't socialistic either :-3

But really though, that some extremists living in the southern states would panic from that wouldn't really matter. Southern states are primarily republican either way.
