He's also kind of unique that the typical smear against him is that he's a socialist, and right now that label is actually what makes him interesting and attractive to people.
The GOP, Trump, have been promoting Bernie all along, he is clearly their preferred candidate and they have purposely held off attacking him and done everything in their power to get him as the Dem's candidate.

The smear against Bernie is not he's a socialist the smear is his policies will require a massive tax rise for average americans, massive, Trump will happily claim and be believed that a vote for Bernie is a vote for 15% across the board tax increases along with massive cuts to the military.
