We should be cautious, I think more than anything. I think Bernie has some great ideas. I am a huge supporter. I want him to win the nomination and to then win the Presidency. And by all means we should continue to support him. But I am very afraid that frankly this country does seem to have (reasonable or not) a lot of reluctance in embracing anything 'socialist' and I don't know if a self-avowed socialist can actually win a general election. My worst nightmare would be for Bernie to win the nom only to then lose the election to a Republican. But only time will tell - we are still so incredibly early in this election season. In a bout 5-6 months, who knows what could be different?
