If Bernie Sanders was trying to implement the same protectionist trade policies as Donald Trump that they both advocated, would the EU, China, Mexico, Canada, etc take the threat of trade war seriously and be willing to blink and stand down in the face of American bullying on the global stage, or would they make the calculation that Bernies a pushover and if they fight back, he'll be the one to back down?
Would Bernie have what it takes to stare down Merkel?
