BILL O'REILLY (HOST): Building up Bernie, that is the subject of this evening's Talking Points Memo. There have been a number of articles saying that Senator Sanders, no longer a fringe candidate, but a real threat to Hillary Clinton. That's because the new Des Moines Register poll has Sanders only two points behind Clinton in Iowa, and the Real Clear Politics average has him just thirteen points behind nationally. 

[...]

Talking Points does not come to bury Sanders, but to praise him. Kind of. In contrast to Mrs. Clinton, the Senator is energetic, appears to be honest and is not the usual phony politician. Problem is, though Bernie '74 really is a hard core socialist. 

[...]

One more thing. If the Senator does win the Democratic nomination, still not likely, that would be a GOP dream. America will never go socialist.
