Probably because those people believe Bernie likewise will get destroyed when getting down to the nitty gritty of how he plans to both pay for his promises. His economic projections somehow think after everything he wants to implement is implemented, that unemployment will be under 4% and GDP will grow at 5.5% per year. Both of those are utterly delusional numbers that will never happen (but might as well promise anyway right?).
He's also going to have to show how he's actually going to get any of his promises passed with the GOP almost certainly in control of the House and Senate. If you think Obama got obstructed, Sanders will be far worse because he's a one and done candidate due to his age (i.e. no way he wins a second term accomplishing nothing, thus the GOP has more incentive than under Obama to obstruct). Nevermind that Bernie won't even have full backing of
his own party. I think people will remember Obama promised a lot and delivered not even close, and that was with a full House/Senate of Dems for 2 years, and that will hurt Bernie.
