Bernie has a problem and Bernie has created a problem.
Bernie's problem is that almost all of his policy proposals are the exact opposite of Trump's. Sanders is on record saying he will increase taxes to pay for his 'democratic socialist' agenda. That alone is a no brainer bad move.
But Bernie has also created a problem. If Sanders gets the nomination how many people who would have voted for a moderate Dem candidate will not vote for him? And if he doesn't get the nomination how many 'Bernie bros' will stay home or vote for a third party candidate.
For Trump, Bernie is the gift that keeps on giving.
