However, the new Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll shows Sanders would trounce Bloomberg in a head-to-head match up, 57% to 37%.

(40,206 posts)I'll bet Bloomberg changes the percentages quite a bit. Most people have never seen him at the podium before.

(14,304 posts)he will lose and lose BIG to the Mango Menace, while at the same time, we'll most likely lose the House and forget about retaking the Senate.
Even if by some miracle Bernie did win the GE, none of his policies would become law, the Senate, nor the House would ever vote to enact them into law.

(3,768 posts)The other contenders seem fearful to go hard on Bernie.
Bloomberg is just getting started, and has the organization and resources to carpet bomb Sanders with the truth about his record, policies, etc.
Let's see what the numbers look like after Super Tuesday.
Sanders may still come out on top, but would've been fully vetted.

(11,000 posts)Some background would be helpful.
Also, Bloomberg does better than Sanders against Trump in the generals, according to the same poll.
For a comparison of someone who claims victory in Iowa and New Hampshire vs someone who has yet to be a contender in any primary, that's pretty lame.

(11,000 posts)I asked if there is any evidence of how Bloomberg is framing the race.
I also stand by the rest of my post.

(45,964 posts)11. I am not aware of any evidence of Bloombergframing the primary race as being between him and Bernie.
Some background would be helpful.

You want background? Try Google. You want to talk about polls that show Bloomberg doing better start an OP and post them.

(45,964 posts)for you. I didn't make a statement, I posted an OP on a poll. Happens all the time here. If you don't like it, find another and like that one.

(11,000 posts)I appreciate it. I found further reporting that goes beyond the internal campaign memo:
https://www.yahoo.com/news/there-are-only-three-viable-presidential-candidates-according-to-mike-bloombergs-campaign-184625235.html
Back to the OP, even though you are not responsible for it: the memo you linked to is 2 days old. There is a hint in the memo that indicates the Bloomberg people are concerned about Sanders being ahead. The memo indicates that they are preparing to take steps to counter this, steps that they haven't taken prior to the developments in the race that warranted them. Since the cited poll is also two days old, the data in the polls does not reflect the steps that Bloomberg's campaign is about to take. The fact is, the poll, for all practical purposes, was conducted before the Bloomberg campaign framed the primary race as being between him and Sanders.
I would like to see how those poll numbers will change in the next couple of weeks.
Still, the cited poll shows Bloomberg doing better against Trump than Sanders.

(95,780 posts)As for Sanders "crushing Bloomberg", in a two person race, that probably isn't going to happen because it is very likely that no candidate will come to the convention with enough votes to cinch the nomination
