Democratic Primaries
Related: About this forumBernie lost to Hillary in 2016...
Bernie couldn't beat Hillary in the Democratic Primaries...and technically, tRump beat Hillary in the General Election...Sooooo..We need to realize.. Bernie couldn't and can't beat tRump...
It is logical.... I'm just applying a Triage thought methodology to finding our Democratic Candidate.....
Biden would of been our 2016 Candidate... if he chose to run in 2016....

(11,953 posts)Conceptually, he's saying something like A beat B, and C beat A, therefore C beats A... but what this ignores is that the voting pools are completely different (as is the actual electoral mechanism).
It is entirely logically possible that Sanders beats Clinton among Dems, but that Sanders beats Trump when in the larger voting pool of a general election, even if Trump beats Clinton.

I don't get it, but to each their own.

(12,207 posts)I am glad I don't have to vote until March 17....I still don't have any passionate or firm decision regarding who to vote for....This is very unusual for me.

and I declared for Bloomberg.

(12,207 posts)This is because I think he could beat tRump ....that actually is my primary focus....He has the money, vast resources and really wants to get tRump out of the WH....
I don't want anyone similar to tRump...I don't think he is...his business is open... legal..not mafia ...all positives. I guess, we all could live with that....

(12,207 posts)I believe the Democratic Debate tomorrow will be or at least could very well be a game changer. I will record it just to rewind on candidates response if needed....I only have until March 17th....Ohio votes then.

(1,713 posts)by nominating a Democratic Socialist will give the entire Southeast to Trump and we will lose 12-16 House seats. No Democratic Senator up for reelection wants Sanders on top of ticket. It's a nightmare.

(13,649 posts)Sure it would be great to win Florida, NC, or Georgia but we can win without them.

(15,214 posts)I'm sorry, but he won't, and if he can't win Florida, he can't beat Trump.
That said...if he is the nominee, I will vote for him.

(21,786 posts)and also win Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin? He doesn't need to win Florida. (And Sanders beats Trump in all 3 in head-to-head polling although we need more recent polls for better data).
