He would turn the purple states all red. I had that debate with a very left leaning friend of mine who follows politics as well. For the Republicans to win, they must sweep VA/FL/OH. I'm not sure which of those states Bernie could win. I also think he would really struggle in a place like PA.
I thought Sanders was great. But Bernie's popularity will not, IMO, extend to the general election should he win the nomination. That's been my biggest concern with him all along. Simply put, I think if he wins, the Dems lose.
Not only this.
I tend to agree with you if the Republicans were running a moderate likable candidate but they are instead embracing the ### clown Trump so i think Bernie would have a pretty darn good shot.
You appeared out of nowhere and have gone on a posting frenzy in this forum, which you usually only see from someone who was previously banned. You are approaching 250 posts in less than 10 days. People who are new here usually just don't do that, it looks really suspicious.
IMO Bernie's best shot would be against Cruz. I know the numbers show otherwise right now, but Cruz is a horrible person that the more you hear him speak and learn about him the worse your opinion gets. First off, I think Trump will moderate some if he secures the nomination. Secondly, with Trump, you'd be on camera in debates against a man who is totally at home there, very smart, and is just lying in wait to make you look like a fool at any turn. It would be awfully hard for anyone to hold up 1 on 1 with Trump on camera no matter who you are, think what you will about his politics.
I like it here. Heard a lot of good things about it and had been lurking for a while. And I tend to be a little obsessive compulsive. So it's just as likely you won't see me for 3 months. Been on bed rest so I've had a lot of time on my hands.
I don't know, I think Trump would have a hard time with Bernie. Trump is a counterpuncher. If you don't punch him you render him useless. Bernie wouldn't take his bait.
Thank you timschochet. Same here.I like you here too Higgs. You seem like an honest guy. Welcome.
Bernie has some street to him though, I think he's the only one capable of not only debating trump but getting him off his game.
Hillary lost to a black guy with no experience who had a name that sounded like Osama.
That was among Democrats. Hillary may lose to Bernie too.
JFC. Not that lame narrative again.
Gosh, I wonder why Bernie's never gotten a question like that, lesseee, why would Bernie have never gotten that question....
Hillary, if I'm not mistaken, has won one election in her life against a total empty suit in Santorum. EDIT laizio not santorumTo my mind, sanders is TRULY a once in a generation candidate. Never before has a person with true populist issues gotten this far down the road.
Senator Sanders, alot of people say you are dirty rotten unAmerican communist scum. You're reaction to that characterization? (For the thousandth time?)
I didn't say he should be uncivil. He can be civil and still attack legitimate issues.
Yes you are right. Lazio. a #### by any other name.
Lazio got torpedoed by being "aggressive"against Hillary in the ny senate race. I feel like that moment has been in his mind as he's not exactly cuddly
But imagine if in every court case the jury had to spend several hours listening to a third guy, neither prosecution nor defense, in the middle of the trial.
It really isn't odd though, considering in every election, the person who drops out, or finishes second or third or wherever, supports the winner. It just shows that he is more honest than all the others, including Hillary. Because I can guarantee you, that if Bernie wins the nomination, Hillary would support him.
How did you feel when tim found this place?? It's fine if someone thinks your way , if they don't then it's a problem
I heard today that Cuomo's brother wants to run in 2020... It might be better for him personally to have a R run against....
And her terrible Libya policyAnd her terrible Egypt policy
That was her response? "I am still standing"? How exactly is that hitting it out of the park? Just tells me she is a damn good liar.....
There's no specter of anything, she just spends a third of all her debate and interview time talking about FBI investigations, secreting away public documents, Wall Street connections and dishonesty.
When does he do that? I don't follow it as closely as most here but he seems to bend over backwards to not attack her when I'm listening- many think to the detriment of his own chances to win.
Has this happened? He seems to be very cognizant of his words with respect to Hillary. I missed the "debate" last night, but to this point all he's done is point out her ties to Wall Street and contrasted that to himself. DId he lose his marbles and go "deranged wingnut" last night?
