Also, there is so much fear mongering in politcs that I don't believe people take it seriously. These days fear mongering sounds more like childish whining 'Trump is a literal nazi' or 'Trudeau is going to ruin the economy' sounds like white noise at this point.

He said the Republicans want face him, not that they hate him. Every right wing outlet is doing all they can to prop up Bernie right now and play him up as a victim of the evil DNC.
Bernie is running on a platform that if he was able to implement exactly as he says would directly affect voters. At this point, Americans aren't going to vote for someone who is going to take away their employer health care and replace it with taxes, and attack ads pointing out that Bernie is promising to do just that.
The majority of Americans are not going to vote for that in 2020. And there are many other policies of Bernie's that just won't play well under scrutiny.
