Suppose, for the sake of argument, Bernie is unelectable. Would you agree that would be a good reason to nominate someone who IS electable? My point is that you need to consider the consequences of your choice - and it's possible that your choice will result in 4 more years of Trump. — Relativist
But the president sets the agenda for their entire party, so having a president like Bernie being in charge is a useful first step toward change in the right direction. — Pfhorrest

I will vote for whoever is not Trump in the end. And if the American people, including some so-called moderate dems, would rather vote for Trump over Bernie, I guess America gets what it deserves.

Experts estimate that Sanders' major proposals would cost a staggering $60 trillion and would double the size of the government (while his tax plans fall $27 trillion short of paying for it). There's a reason that, when pressed on the cost of his plans, Sanders simply refuses to answer, saying he actually has no idea and 'no one does.
From a non-American perspective, Bernie Sanders is the only candidate I've seen in a long while that doesn't make the impression of being utterly corrupt. Perhaps that's why, despite his popularity, he's met with so much resistance. — Tzeentch
The one quality that is needed in a President is good judgment. Regardless of background, our job as voters is to discern whether or not a candidate indeed has good judgment. No specific background (CEO, college professor, politician, reality TV star...) establishes that the candidate has good judgment, nor does it establish he has poor judgment.All Bernie has ever been is a politician. What has he ever built? What has he ever ran? What has he ever done? We’re going to put a man like that in charge of the world’s greatest economy and military. That’s something people will have to contend with. — NOS4A2

Only in politics do we suggest extensive experience doing the job somehow makes you less able to do the job than someone with no experience.
Well... Maybe the same prejudice happens with teachers, too.
A little activism, a little voting in the senate. He certainly has enough experience making a living off the tax-payer dollar, but not much else. — NOS4A2
is a mischaracterisation. Why don't you prove this is the case with your apparent in depth understanding of what senators do, which level of knowledge you expect from others?
