Another reason why Bernie is doing worse than he could (and should) is that he’s surrounded by idiots. The campaign manager is a smug creepazoid, the aides are inept, many of the followers are dumb as dirt, and the wife thinks it’s a bright idea to go on Fox Business channel to gush about how much she agrees with Trump and make an ass out of herself with a string of embarrassing bloopers.
This is the result of Bernie having no experience of a national campaign and not expecting the success he’s had. By the way, I’m getting very tired of idiot reporters who keep repeating that Bernie should quit because his criticisms of Hillary give ammunition to Trump’s attacks on her. Yes, because before Bernie came along Republicans never managed to come up with a single attack on Hillary. They’ve been sitting quietly for 30 years, waiting for Bernie to teach them how to attack Hillary. Of all the stupid things to accuse Bernie of, this one is really out there.
