Do you realize how easy it would be for Bernie's opponent to make him appear like a Marxist? Heck, even Hillary Clinton is starting to go with it!
It seems to me that the more people hear what Bernie has to say the more they like him. How else does one explain how he went from single-digits to neck and neck?

Because they are realizing what Hillary is all about and they are finding out how bad she screwed up, so they are attracted to a guy who is actually honest and genuine?
Bernie has good ideas but these ideas would require money from somewhere and that means my taxes and everyone else's would probably be hiked up.
I'm sure there are a lot of waste in the govt. The govt agencies operate like they have a blank check to write whatever they want and expense it. I have seen in my years the inefficient operations of many govt agencies and the waste that goes into them. Many of them would fail miserably if they had to operate like a private company and be mindful of spending. Not to say that private companies are angels but because of them having tofund their own stuff based on their profilts and shareholders, they tend to operate much more efficiently, they have to or else they will fail.
Govt agencies don't have to worry about that.
Bernie wants to pump more money into that inefficient system. You don't hear him saying that he will fix it first. Bernie would be very weak on illegal immigration and national defense.
It's clear that you have preconceived views on government efficiency that do not match reality. Did you know that Social Security runs on a 1% overhead rate -- lower than any insurance company? Social Security is a shining example of a system that works. It's simple and clean, with low operating costs and minimal bureaucracy. Medicare and Medicaid are substantially cheaper and more efficient than private insurance; they even involve less bureaucracy.
Between Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, that's most of the federal government's spending, so I don't know what inefficient agencies you are referring.
Regarding Mr. Sanders and the money needed for his programs. All of those issues are answered on his website and it doesn't cost most Americans more.
It's too late for anyone to jump into the race - in either party.
Has anyone ever entered in February or later of the election year?
Not really since 1968 with both Robert Kennedy and also Hubert Humphrey. It's not common but not quite unheard of. That said, it's going to be tough to do. Also, who's to say Hillary will be indicted. There is only wing-nut talk of this and nothing concrete.
After Hillary is indicted, who will jump in the race?
Maybe it will be one of Hillary's supporters from the open border drug cartel.
We call them undocumented triathletes.
1) Swim across the river,
2) Jump the fence,
3) peddle the drugs.
If we can convince them there is even more money in politics and they can still sell guns and drugs with government protection we could have a winner.
