[highplainsdem]

Sanders isn't doing any better than Buttigieg against Trump in their poll.

The poll has Biden beating Trump by 8 points.

Bloomberg beats him by 7.

Sanders and Buttigieg beat him by 4.

Klobuchar beats him by 3.

Warren beats him by 1.


Anyway, it's very clear that the main reason Sanders is leading in the primary race is the moderate vote is too divided.


Biden is the only candidate whose lead against Trump is outside the margin of error.

Biden ALSO maintains that 8-point lead against Trump in the battleground states, while the others are tied with Trump or only a point or two ahead.

But many of these margins get smaller when the race is narrowed to voters from 11 battleground states — Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.

Bloomberg's lead decreases to 2 points, (48 percent to 46 percent); Sanders (49 percent to 48 percent) and Klobuchar (48 percent to 47 percent) to 1 point; and Buttigieg is tied with Trump (47 percent to 47 percent).

Only Biden maintains his same lead, 52 percent to 44 percent.

1. Biden needs a strong debate performance

Tomorrow. I hope he shows why Sanders and Bloomberg can’t be the nominee.

3. If Biden can hold strong in NV and win overwhelmingly in SC, this country just might be saved.

Hopefully Joe rises to the occasion.

4. As you can see, most folks don't really care about this which has been consistent. I've been

typing myself blue in the face to vote for the guy who is winning by the largest margin in the swing states.
I'm so disgusted.

6. I would think so.. Thank you!

7. This is still the reason why Biden should be our nominee.

8. I hope voters realize that in this election removing Trump from office

has to be the #1 goal. The Democratic nominee needs to be the person who has the best chance of beating Trump with a big enough margin that can't be disputed.
