How many Democrats believe that if Sanders is the nominee Trump will be reelected.

[olegramps]

[HerbChestnut]

1. Not this one.

[Farmer-Rick]

110. Me neither

If Americans will vote in a guy who says "grab them by the pussy", is a known mobster wannabe and a visible racist, sexist and antisemetite, then No One is unelectable.

Come on, Trump has 2 divorces and married his Slovenian sex worker and yet people who once believed in traditional family values voted for him.

Anyone can get elected in America.

[JenniferJuniper]

2. I confess

I think the odds Trump beats him are high.

[cannabis_flower]

91. I think

The odd he beats any of them are high. He cheats.

[Dem2]

3. I got anxiety

Just reading the headline. That's my answer.

[we can do it]

4. ✋🏼

[pattyloutwo]

5. I don't

I think most people are finally getting scared about Trump and we’ll have a huge turnout no matter who the nominee is and how much fighting it takes to get there.

[crazylikafox]

6. A vote for Bernie is a vote for Trump

Sad to say but I really believe it

[BigmanPigman]

134. Me too. It seems pretty obvious at this point.

[IndianaDave]

136. I regret it, but I agree that Trump would win

The Republicans have already defined what a "socialist" is, and our "buddy," Bloomberg reinforced it at the debate last night. They will use his own words against Bernie, and assert all kinds of idiotic and even slanderous material against him. Calling himself a Democratic Socialist reminds people of the misleading terminology of some committed communists. -- I can just hear the ads: "Vote for Sanders, and Welcome to the Democratic Socialist Republic of America." Of course, it's absolutely ridiculous, but this is just the tip of the iceberg. Unfortunately, I believe the GOP will annihilate him. And I'm really sorry to say so!

[awesomerwb1]

7. If win by popular vote was our system

then I would say he has a chance.

Electoral vote with places like FL, PA, OH, AZ, WI. We'll get destroyed by dump.

[democratisphere]

8. Definitely.

The majority of voters have tremendous problems with socialists and socialism.

[Peacetrain]

9. Call it the 1972 effect.. I was so far left, that the Bernie surrogates would look like..

Last edited Thu Feb 20, 2020, 01:38 PM - Edit history (1)

reactionaries in comparison..

And you know what we got for all our youthful enthusiasm, ... four more years of Nixon (actually 2 he did leave after impeachment)

I would hope not.. but experience tells me a different story

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

15. Same here. My first vote in a presidential election was for McGovern.

I was young and dumb and thought only stupid people would support Nixon because they didn't see the total righteousness of our cause; with the naivete of a young person who can see only the argument in their favor, I assumed that the majority of the people were on our side and only the old reactionaries would vote for Nixon.

Oops.

[Peacetrain]

20. I live it in my head sometimes.. the shock of him not winning

Of course I was on campus.. and we were passionate beyond belief.. we bolstered each other constantly.. it was a community and we were going to end the damn war.

There is a big old country out there..and a lot of people with opinions.. I thought they would see the justice of our position.. WRONG..

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

22. Yes, sometimes you end up in an echo chamber, which is what happened then.

On your college campus everybody agreed with you. You'd go home for a holiday and get into an argument with your parents, but they were just your parents and who cares what they thought, right? They were the Establishment and they didn't like your clothes or your haircut either. So you're in your little bubble - until reality bursts the bubble.

[Peacetrain]

26. In so so many ways we were right..but our approach was all wrong

but our men and women (nurses) were being put on planes and shipped over and coming back scarred, dead.. leaving the dead laying in the jungles of Vietnam.. I think we were desperate. And that changed me forever. The one thing I came away with.. is that you cannot just will people to your position.. You have to bring them with arguments that they can link to their own lives.

I do not hate Bernie in any way shape form or fashion.. But he is just like the republicans.. my way or the highway.. well you will get all the my way or the highway people on your side.. and then you have 70% to 80% who cannot relate to you and you lose the battle.

And or those who are independents will not come your way because in their minds they are better off with the devil they know then one they do not understand..

Age and experience does have its values

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

40. There were some groups within the antiwar movement who were destructive

and gave it a very bad name, like the SDS. Some groups were violent; others were just obnoxious. All of us were regarded, at best, as dirty, immoral, pot-smoking hippies, and Nixon and his people very effectively used the whole sex-drugs-rock'n'roll reputation to turn people against the movement altogether. By 1972 even the "establishment" was starting to object to the war but they hated the hippies even more.

[wnylib]

117. I've been reading the posts on

this thread about 1972 and have to agree. That was my first year to vote. I remember it well.

Bernie not only cannot win the GE, but he will tag the party with the Socialist label if he is the nominee.

He is old enough to remember 1972, so it makes me wonder why he runs, especially in this very crucial year. Ego trip? More interested in advancing an ideology than defeating Trump? Does he think that, even if he loses, another 4 years of Trump will turn the nation toward socialism?

Sanders cannot win. He will lose and take the party and the nation down wih him. Neither the electoral college nor the majority of Americans will vote for a candidate identifying with the word socialism.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

43. Short form: all or nothing gets you nothing most of the time.

I voted for McGovern with the certain knowledge that most people knew Nixon was a crook. Of course, it was just most people that I talked to who knew Nixon was a crook.

We will have to transition from the current system to one which provides basic health care to everyone. I don't know how that transition will take place, but I believe Warren's drive and experience will help get us there, so long as her coattails are long enough.

[DBoon]

61. This is the experience that Boomers have that is being constantly discredited

I think there has been a long campaign to obscure and discredit the history of activism over those years.

The anti-boomer memes we see now are just part of it.

[NoMoreRepugs]

74. Totally agree. Activism for most younger people

today is posting on social medium platforms - sorry, not impressed. The true activist younger folk have my total respect. (Wait for it..... here comes everything that is wrong today is because of us Boomers)

[DBoon]

87. I will continue my rant

Does anyone remember the Alliance for Survival? Campaign for Economic Democracy? Tax Big Oil? Campus sit-ins to divest from South Africa?

You have to look very hard to find anything about them on the Internet.

These and other movements like them have been effectively erased.

They have been replaced with a false stereotype of boomers as vacuous self interested hedonists, bent on destroying American society and the planet for their own pleasure.

I believe the right has successfully worked to drive out the history of activism since at least the days of Reagan.

[DBoon]

57. I had a McGovern sticker ripped off my high school locker

FYI

[Historic NY]

69. Yup...

[demosincebirth]

71. We will have it again if BS is nominated. I'm tired of hiskk no persona

And his cult of followers who don’t remember 1972, and seem to only have tunnel vision

[pandr32]

10. Me

[TheCowsCameHome]

11. Unfortunately,

I do.

That socialism thing will do him in in the GE.

[totodeinhere]

47. Bloomberg's racism and sexism will do him in. n/t

[Callado119]

84. It didn't do trump in...

...white voters will choose a racist over a socialist that just had a heart attack...so don’t be shocked or try to blame the “establishment” or POC voters when it happens if BS is the nominee

[totodeinhere]

88. I'm talking about the primary campaign. I doubt if Bloomberg will even get a chance to face

the voters in November unless he goes third party.

[MyOwnPeace]

103. That's the answer.......

I would give also. I do NOT want him (Sanders) as our nominee...............

BUT,

No matter who, I'm gonna' vote BLUE!!!!

[jcmaine72]

12. No.

[lark]

13. I definitely think that.

I also think he's ahead partially because of Russian repug ratfuckery and that all these repugs who registered as Dems to help Bernie will vote for drumpf in the general. If Bernie runs, it will be a landslide of epic proportions for drumpf, not even close.

[get the red out]

14. Nope!

I admit that I used to believe this, no longer.

[ebbie15644]

16. I do

[Alliepoo]

17. Me.

If bs is our nominee we get another 4 years of dump.

[highplainsdem]

18. I do. We could set up a DU poll on this, but I'd guess the results would upset Sanders supporters.

[floppyboo]

75. no. Not upset. Just more of the same here at DU

Look at the DUP poll. Sanders support is not represented here at all, and sometimes I wonder why keep trying to change minds in an echo chamber.

I read the passion of the disappointment with McGovern. I'm a bit younger - not much - so obviously cannot speak to your disappointment.

My generation - just a decade later - still gravitated to injustice and took up the banner epitomized in the Clash's 'Sandanista' album, we loved King Sunny Ade, and the more hard core anti-war movement people looked to bands that I'm not going to list here, because in this day I'm sure they would be slammed as politically incorrect in one way or another.

What I find shocking or dismaying is that neo-colonialism a la Vietnam or Central/South America is not on the radar of most of the people who are in the most pain - the most desperate - the most passionate - of voters today.

Media has tried to label this generation as self-entitled. I get it. They have had to bring that wall of security closer to themselves IN THE RICHEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD!

This is not our battle anymore. No one was worrying about rising sea levels back then. No one figured they couldn't have a family.
It's not the same fight.

Trump will lose.

[TheSocialDem]

105. +1

[wnylib]

118. Trump might lose, but not if Sanders

is the nominee.

But , if by some fluke, Sanders did win, how would he handle all the facets of government? He speaks only if one issue - domestic economics.

What foreign policies would he have? Who would he choose for a cabinet? How would he handle immigration, Iran, NATO, the World Bank, foreign trade, climate change, infrastructure, jobs creation, infrastructureetc.?

He speaks anger, drums up passionate anger among his followers to oppose the existing system, but his appeal to them is an emotional one, to appeal to people's resentments. In that respect, he is a populist from the left. He tells us who he will take down. But what will he build up? Who will work with him in government?

[evertonfc]

19. I guarantee it

I've been working campaigns for 25 years. Hes toxic in most of America electorally. He dosent stand a chance in sotheast. He will hurt House races here. Hell, he's not a Democrat. Outside the liberal bubble voters see him as a self admitted socialist and wants to fundamentally change a health care system, many like and that isn't going to fly. He, in this neck of woods makes Trump look moderate on some issues. He will rip the party to shreds. We will be called socialists for generations. Hes a coastal candidate. To be honest, his angry, flailing anti wealthy look isn't attractive in many places. I'll support anyone over Trump but Sanders will get beat badly.

[Pope George Ringo II]

21. Never doubted it.

We'd have a better chance nominating Mickey Mouse.

[thesquanderer]

24. I don't know, but it seems like they're all on DU. ;-) n/t

[nevergiveup]

25. I believe it is 95%

I also believe there is a chance we lose the House and certainly no chance we win back the Senate. I live in a red suburban district that has been flirting with trending purple. We have a new Democratic congresswoman that was swept in with the wave in 2018. She has a good organization but the Repubs will be throwing a ton of money into the district trying to take it back. The odds of her holding on to this seat are remote with Bernie at the top of the ticket. There are many other districts like this one. Politically I am pretty much aligned with Bernie but the reality here on the ground is that nationally he is most likely a disaster waiting to happen.

[TexasTowelie]

27. I do. nt

[Jose Garcia]

28. Not only will Trump be reelected, but downballot Democrats will be affected

[lapfog_1]

31. this... we may well lose seats in the Senate and lose the House

[nancy1942]

29. It's already fixed.

[rainy]

30. Not me!

[BooScout]

32. I do...

I think he would put McGovern to shame.

[Thomas Hurt]

33. Any of the candidates should be able to beat Trump,

the socialist thing is a problem that the Democratic Party has to address and change the narrative.

[uponit7771]

34. ✨✨✨✨Sanders Has No Standout Swing State Appeal✨✨✨✨

[JudyM]

68. He wins Michigan without much question, for one.

Hillary lost by a very narrow margin after a major disenfranchisement of AA voters which is being fixed by a newly minted Dem state government. Plus Sanders performed very well there.

[Anon-C]

35. I do. But if wins the Presidency I see it as normalization of the Russian thrust...

...and the Trumps would not be held accountable in the interest of "unity". Both prospects disgust me.

[dem4decades]

36. I do. Lots of people like their work healthcare, 401K and hate paying taxes. Trump will hang it on

Sanders for saying middle class taxes will go up. Then Trump will say their 401k will go down because of socialists don't like business, and then say you can't trust the government that can't run a simple caucus to run healthcare.

Don't shoot me I'm just a messenger.

[Sinistrous]

37. I am sure that all of the GOPers

currently inflating Sanders’ poll numbers will dutifully go back and vote for MF45 in the general.

[LuvNewcastle]

114. Yep.

[rwheeler31]

38. It is such a shame that we let Republicans

choose the candidate, of course he cannot win.

[Locrian]

39. nope

I think DU is in a bubble...

A corporate / centrist will lose against trump.

Bernie or Liz will win. They just showed that they can deal with a republican last nite.

[Meadowoak]

132. +1

[Loki]

41. I live in a very red state.

If he does by chance win the presidency, we will lose the down ballot races by a large margin. We won't take the Senate and will lose seats in the House. It's not a win/win.

[Grendam]

42. There's a reason Trump...

wants to run against a self-described socialist. It's the dream candidate for the GOP.

Sanders will certainly get more young people out to vote for him, but I think too many people undervalue the damage Sanders will do to the much needed suburban voters and swing states.

I live in a conservative, rather Trump-friendly area with many disenchanted GOP voters that voted Dem in '18 and would like to vote Trump out this year. So many have told me that they won't be able to vote Dem if Sanders/Warren is the nominee. A lot simply won't just stay home or vote third party, but will hold their nose and vote Trump. Why? Even though they hate him personally, they are unwilling to take the risk of completely upsetting the economy and/or their livelihood. They'll rationalize it by voting for their economic interests.

So it's not just a question of increasing turnout, but it's taking a lot of people that would be Dem voters and scaring them to vote GOP. Also, a lot of Republicans that might not be motivated to vote will feel absolutely compelled to vote against a socialist candidate that runs on everything they are vehemently against. In this way, Sanders will supercharge GOP turnout as well (and it will kill down ballot races).

With a moderate, many of those disgruntled conservatives/independents will vote D and many GOPers that just don't want to be bothered with voting won't feel that their way of life will be destroyed if someone like Biden/Bloomberg/Klobuchar is elected. The young people upset with a dull, moderate candidate are more likely not to show up or vote third party than they are to vote for Trump. Too many of the needed moderate voters *will* vote for Trump if it is between a fairly stable economy and a socialist.

[emmaverybo]

115. Good analysis. A fairly stable economy benefits the incumbent and ensures failure for "the

Revolution” led by a candidate Republicans can so easily use scare tactics against.

[Duppers]

121. The GOP's labelling Bernie "Socialist/

"Socialist/Communist/Raise your taxes" will stick.

Your analysis is excellent.

One can bet the red Electoral College states will believe it hook, line, & sinker, along with many independents.

And young voters in these red areas and states will not come out to support Bernie. They're usually as brainwashed as their parents.

[totodeinhere]

45. I'm not sure who our strongest candidate against Trump might be.

I think the jury is still out on that. People who say they are sure one way or the other don't really know even if they think they do. I am supporting Bernie for ideological reasons. If it ever came to a point where I thought that he could not beat Trump I would switch my support to another candidate who could, except that I cannot support Bloomberg under any circumstances.

[LongtimeAZDem]

46. I believe that not only would Trump be reelected, but it would cost us many state races as well

[MFM008]

48. Me

Either 1972 or 1988 .

[CalFione]

49. Sadly, I'm certain of it.

[patricia92243]

50. me

[COLGATE4]

51. Count me as a "Yes"

Trump would like nothing better than to run against Bernie. That election would make Willie Horton look like Dr. Seuss.

[mcar]

52. Me

[DBoon]

53. Yes

someone who has been a self avowed socialist for decades has tons of videos, recording, articles, academic writings, etc. that make fodder for a brutal campaign.

Nixon rat-fucked Muskie, knowing that McGovern (a fine man) would be vulnerable to smears that caused him to lose all but one state

I think Bernie did lots of good things in Vermont. He has helped move the Democratic Party and the overall political spectrum leftwards. MFA would not even be a topic if not for him.

I think by the time the Republican attack machine was through with him, there would be nothing left.

[Rustynaerduwell]

54. I'm afraid so.

Apart from everything, Bernie lost to Hillary. Hillary lost to Trump.

[CatMor]

55. Me ...

trump and republicans are salivating for Bernie to be the nominee. They are trying to help make it happen.

[AkFemDem]

56. It will be an unmitigated disaster-

Not only for our chances in the White House, but we will lose seats in Congress and the senate as well.

[Poiuyt]

58. Why does everyone talk about Bernie being too far to the left, but

no one talks about trump being too far to the right?

I’m talking about the media here.

[JustAnotherGen]

59. I do

Sanders and two other s-words will be hammered into the populace by MF45's handlers.

[sheshe2]

60. I do. nt

[LexVegas]

62. 100%. nt

[unblock]

63. i'm of the mind that our choice of nominee has very little to do with how we fare in the general

it will almost exclusively be a referendum on donnie and his special brand of authoritarian crazy.

if the economy, or at least the stock market, takes a nosedive over the summer, we're winning even if we nominate a ham sandwich.

if the economy, or at least the stock market, continues to climb, we're in big trouble even if we nominate the ghost of abraham lincoln.


so much depends on donnie going too far or the economy collapsing or or terrorist actions.


really, the only thing our choice of nominees does is change what choice of childish insults donnie uses.


now, if we win, then our choice of nominees certainly matters. but in terms of whether or not we win, i don't think it matters much at all.

remember (a) donnie cheats and (b) the media sucks at giving democrats a fair shot. our choice of nominee won't change either or those facts, at least not by november.

[Mme. Defarge]

64. I do,

and pray that I am wrong.

[Politicub]

65. Sanders will win in a landslide

The party is fired up and ready to support our nominee.

[brooklynite]

67. The party doesn't provide enough votes to win. Especially in the midwest battleground States

[Politicub]

104. They will come around.

[brooklynite]

106. Show me evidence...

I don't depend on hope.

[brooklynite]

66. Highly likely

[Bayard]

70. I do

trump will make sure the word, Communist, is on everyone's lips.

Its really terrifying.

I'm hoping Bloomberg will continue running ads against trump. He's an abysmal candidate himself.....but we need his money, not him.

[lynintenn]

72. Me and the other 60% of Democrat's not voting for him.

[jpljr77]

73. Come on, don't be like Bernie supporters. If he wins the nomination, please vote for him.

We're much bigger people than the absolute garbage humans who gave the presidency to Trump because Hillary had the audacity to not be Bernie Sanders.

[Croney]

76. I do.

[radical noodle]

77. I do

and it scares me to death.

[still_one]

78. Set up a poll

[redstateblues]

79. Without a doubt. Get used to Trump for four more

[Maru Kitteh]

80. Yes.

[dmr]

81. Yes, and it scares me. I am so afraid for our country. For our future.

I turned the debate off as I couldn't listen anymore at the sniping. Two people on that stage weren't even Democrats!

I told my adult son that it's not me I'm worried about. I won't be on this earth much longer, but for him, and others that I worry for. America as I once knew her will be no more. Hell, it's being dismantled as I type this. Last night my adult son tried consoling me as I cried.

I can't even formulate the words, so for the moment I'll stop trying.

[aeromanKC]

82. Yes

And the Senate.

America as we know it will be lost for a generation.

[Bettie]

83. I don't

As long as we turn out and people don't get pissy and decide to either not vote or vote for Trump because the personally dislike Sanders.

If we turn out. We win. It really is that simple.

No matter who the ultimate choice is (and nothing is decided yet), we need to rally around that person and put our hurt feelings away for the greater good.

We all hope our candidate ends up on top, but some of us will be disappointed. That is inevitable, but this is FAR more important than any one person.

We can make it happen, we just have to work together. If people decide that their disdain for one candidate or another is reason enough to keep Trump, then we lose.

[Callado119]

85. Yep, he'd lose the popular vote and single handedly give republicans the house...

[underthematrix]

86. Here's how I see it.

If Bernie has more SIGNIFICANTLY more delegates than the other candidates combined and does not get the nomination Trump will be re-elected.

If Bernie is the nominee I think he will win because the older voter is mature enough to switch to Bernie to restore our democracy and the rule of law.

It doesn't require loving Bernie or supporting his policies. It only requires loving democracy and the rule of law.

[Devil Child]

89. Not at all, if Sen. Sanders is the nominee he will become President Sanders n/t

[KPN]

90. Not me.

My opinion is Sanders is our best bet.

[jalan48]

92. Not me. There's a reason why he is doing so well-his message resonates with the voters.

It's difficult for Centrists to understand that their policies are out of date. An insurance industry healthcare system really isn't loved by most Americans.

[world wide wally]

93. I hate to say it, but I'm afraid so.

The GOP are the Masters of Slime

[Red Oak]

94. I think a wet noodle can beat Trump this year

Given the excitement about this election Dems are going to come out in droves. We will not be divided. We will unite behind our nominee.

Trump has the base he has. Many have died off and the demographics continue to change. The number of crossover voters from Dem to Trump will be almost zero. The economy is not going to improve from here, but go down (coronavirus if nothing else and there was plenty before CoVID19 to worry about.)

Trump won with Russian help, and then by the slimmest of margins.

I am convinced our nominee, even a Bernie Sanders nominee, will win.

Obviously I hope that Sen Warren gets the nomination as she would make an outstanding President, but if Bernie or Amy or Joe or Pete win, then so be it. They will win.

[pistdem]

95. Me

I have been losing sleep at night worrying that Bernie will get the nomination and then pick Tulsi as his running mate. I could live with Bernie if he picks Elizabeth Warren to run with him.

[DanieRains]

96. Bernie Will Slaughter Trump If We All Get Behind Economic Fairness

And stop pandering to corporations.

[JudyM]

120. It's sinking in to folks' minds... hopefully fast enough.

[True Blue Drew]

97. I Do

That won't stop me from Voting the Bern come November, though.

[LW1977]

98. Donal Trump wants him to be the nominee..

If that doesn’t seem to imply that he has some ratfuckery up his sleeves I don’t know what to tell you.

[hurple]

99. Me

But every single solitary time I have said this my posts have been flagged and removed.

[lillypaddle]

100. I believe so nt

[gordianot]

101. Yes, I am also afraid we might lose the Senate.

[bucolic_frolic]

102. Yes

And won't the debates be a thrill show. Grumpy vs. Incoherent. Yelling at each other. Never saying what they intend to do. Most voters would stay home.

[NurseJackie]

107. Of course. He's the weakest candidate of them all.

The GOP would have such an easy time making hamburger out of him.

[SilasSouleII]

108. Yes

I would vote for him but he would lose

[dominic savio]

109. Sanders no...Bloomberg yes

The only way Bernie loses to the donald is if the corporate controlled DNC balks at giving full support to the Democratic nominee...

[Cycle2016]

111. Yes

[lamp_shade]

112. Me.

[olegramps]

113. The many people who have responded both here and on the General Board is significant.

I would venture to say that the people who post on this board tend to be more on the liberal side which seems at variance with the results that most who commented they believe that Sanders would lose the election to Trump. I would like to point out that I believe that Sanders is also vulnerable in that his views on tariffs and the trade agreements were in agreement with Trump's. I can imagine how Trump could take advantage of his views as being in alignment with his.

The only issue that I see that is out standing is his Medicare for All and that has far less than universal enthusiastic support. It also appears to me that last nights debate was not beneficial and detracted from the most important issue.

That is the Republican's determination to establish a authoritarian presidency. For me this issue takes precedence. The very existence of our Democratic Republic is at stake. I don't find it very reassuring to watch what some have classified as a food fight rather than an a mature discussion of the most critical issue: The future of our nation. Only one candidate attempted to redirect the discussion to this threat.

[Duppers]

122. "The very existence of our Democratic Republic ...

is at stake." Amen!

May we please chose a candidate more assured to win.

[intheflow]

116. Not if every Dem who pledges to "vote blue no matter who" votes.

So, not me.

[scardycat]

119. It shouldnt matter.. maybe none of the candidate will win again the Orange one

whomever it is though...canvassing...door to door....tv ads against Trump...thats what counts. We need to do better to get people out to vote no matter what. Bernie Bros...Warren Mayor Mike, all need to come together and vote whomever is on the ticket PERIOD!!!@!! No time for sour grapes in the election year.

[The Mouth]

124. Not me

[musicblind]

125. I do.

I believe Sanders will win the popular vote by a larger margin than 2016 but will lose the electoral college in a bad way.

I hope I am wrong. I pray I am wrong. I will work my heart out to make myself wrong, but this is what I truly believe.

[LaurenOlimina]

126. not me

[SoFlaDem]

127. I don't know that the DU bubble

is a good indicator. Go spend some time on Reddit (two million subscribers on the Sanders subreddit) and some other social media sites and people might feel otherwise.

[exboyfil]

128. I think it will be a blow out

and impact down ballot.

[TDale313]

129. Nope. Not buying the fear mongering.

Will we have to be smart, will he have to run a good campaign, will things have to play out well? Yes, but it is certainly doable... for any of our candidates, and I think Bernie would put up a hell of a fight and a stark contrast to Trump.

[Squinch]

130. Clearly.

[mainstreetonce]

131. I will vote,for him ,but he will lose

I pray for Bloomberg to see what is happening and put his money behind,an electable candidate.

[handmade34]

133. ...

"In America, a sociopath will beat a socialist seven days a week and twice on Sunday"

[Joinfortmill]

135. Quite possible

140. Absolutely.

Bernie will destroy us. He is the same as McGovern. I worked for McGovern. I believed his correctness on killing during the Viet Nam War was enough to get him elected. I was totally wrong. While killing is wrong, McGovern presented himself totally wrong.

...Bernie does exactly the same thing. He presents himself in a way that is offensive. He doesn't know, and his followers do not know, but those of us who have experienced enough, we know.

..Bernie supporters don't like the above idea. But it is the truth. George McGovern was destroyed by Nixon, and Trump will do the exact same thing to Bernie. You don't like it?..Ok, You don't like it, but it is the truth.

142. Here is an ad being runned by the Grandson of GHW Bush running against sanders

TX CD 22 is an open seat with Pete Olson retiring. The DCCC has targeted this seat for flipping. There are 15 candidates in GOP primary including the grandson of GHW Bush. Another candidate, Kathleen Wall, is running in the GOP primary and she spent $6 million in 2018 running in GOP primary for TX CD 2 and did not make GOP primary runoff. I have had Wall block walkers come to my house twice (I live in a very GOP neighborhood) and I have found Wall doorhanger on my door twice now.

Pierce Bush is running against socialism

Sri Preston Kulkarni is the leading Democrat for this seat (Sri has a GOP type and another person running against him in the Texas Democratic Primary) I texted this ad to Sri and he knew about it already. Sri Preston Kulkarni is a great guy and we need to flip this seat

If sanders is the nominee, we can forget about this seat and we will have Kevin McCarthy as speaker
