Establishment Democrats and the majority of Americans don't want Bernie Sanders or anyone like him leading their country.

The type of people that support someone like Sanders don't have a grip on reality — what America is and what Americans want.

The great majority of Americans don't want a fist-shaking crank bent on remaking the American way of life with socialist-leaning ideology.

people who disagree with me don't have a grip on reality

Majority of Americans don't have a strong opinion on the matter because the majority don't even vote. I agree with people who say that Trump and Sanders have a lot in common because they're both populists(they just appeal to different parts of the population). That also means they both clearly do have similar amounts of support in the country. So you can SAY Bernie doesn't have a lot of support from a lot of Americans, but that just shows who's the one without a grip on reality.

Free health care and free college polls at like 70% approval. The crowds Bernie drew in 2016 seem to back this up.

The primary process and opinion polls indicate establishment Democrats and the majority of Americans don't want Bernie Sanders leading the country.

Everybody likes free stuff until it's broken down into details that reveal how much 'free' really costs.

It became clearer after the debates that Sanders couldn't detail how his promises would be 'free'.
