That’s been the gist of it from my experience too.  The biggest arguments against him are that he’s a “radical” with his ideas (which have been implemented to varying degrees of success in many many other countries) and that he’s an admitted socialist, but then a LOT of America’s infrastructure is socialist in nature. 

People support Bernie because as different as his ideas are they do have evidence of having worked elsewhere and he’s actually been able to outline how to make them work here, and because he’s consistent.  What he’s saying now is pretty much what he’s been saying for decades, which is something that none of the other candidates can really claim from what I’ve seen.

The only reasons I’ve heard from anyone on why Trump should be supported is that he doesn’t pull punches and would put other countries in their place and/or make America great again, yet no one has been able to definitively tell me how that would be done or what that would even entail.  Meanwhile the majority of his campaign has been built upon fearmongering demagoguery and a general lack of understanding not just of politics, but economics and basic human decency.

Clinton I’m not going to argue because I’m with you there.  With Bernie however the only news that I’ve heard from his side is how the plans would not only be self sustaining if they were all implemented properly but would actually lead to a surplus of a fair amount, unlike Trump’s proposed plans which would put the country several trillion further in debt.
