The Washington Post/ABC asked “who makes you anxious? who makes you feel comfortable?” and now has released the results.
Trump scares us most: 69% say the thought of President Trump makes them somewhat or very anxious.
Next, Hilary, with 51%. Then, Cruz and Rubio. At 43%, Bernie Sanders makes us least anxious.
Which is to say, we are comfortable with him: a 57% majority is either somewhat or very comfortable with the idea of President Sanders, more than any other candidate.
Go look at the story. The details are illuminating, reminding us both of what a weird, small, insular cult the Republican party has become, and of the growing power of the group called Independent, from which Bernie has emerged.
