He's gotta win the nomination, and he's not that popular in his own party. The Justice Democrats are not the majority of the party, and don't have a huge backing of the party.

That is true, but if he wins the nomination, he will win the presidency, I assure you.

Unlikely. You would see massive turnout against him. Sanders is literally hated.

Trump is also literally hated. These are both pretty meaningless statements since they don't have quantifiers.

Sanders is disliked by both sides. Trump is only disliked by one.

I know no democrats who will vote for Trump if Bernie gets the nomination, so it hardly matters. I knew many democrats who voted for Trump to spite Hillary though.

Yes but I know many republicans who would vote for Joe Biden, I know none that will vote for Sanders.

Whatever. Those people this time will vote for the Dem to spite Trump who squandered 2 years with both houses of congress in GOP hands. He has failed on too many his campaign promises. Mexico not paying for wall. No infrastructure deal. No fix for healthcare. Just a big tax break for the fat cats and a trade war that is raising prices for the middle class. Pretty sorry record for the MAGA hat crowd to prop up. Maybe tie a stick to it... war with Iran? Nuts. :lol:

All the saber-rattling going on now is just part of Trump's 2020 campaign. I mean, come on, the man filed papers to run again on Inauguration Day in 2017. His entire administration has been a campaign rally.

According to Morning Consult Sanders is only two points off from Biden in terms of raw favorability, hardly being disliked by "both sides".

So he's threatening war without having the balls to actually follow through just to impress his usual crowd.

Totally true. He's amassed the largest campaign chest of $$$ for re-election in history. By far. It's unprecedented.

When you click on the link to the poll in this article you get nothing of the poll. I see 538 gives this polling group a weak C rating. I've seen it suggested this may be one of those internet polls which people can vote for candidates more than one. Hope not. We don't need anymore fake news.

If we don't need fake news, why are you putting it into this thread?

Sybil and the Sybillettes wrote:Anyway, it's a big outlier when compared to other recent polling out there from reputable sources.

Literally what. 1: 538 shows that two of the last three Iowa polls show Biden and Sanders tied. Yes they are all rated "C" on 538, but the last one rated above that was a month and a half ago.

Sybil and the Sybillettes wrote:Nevertheless I haven't seen a poll from any state that shows Biden losing to anyone. Even Trump.

I guess Wisconsin, Texas, Iowa, and Florida aren't states anymore. Yes this is a GOP poll but it's rated B on 538 which is your chosen metric.

I don't put up articles about C rated polls with links that don't link to what is written. You did. Why not fix it? Can you provide a link to that poll instead of all this subterfuge?
