win! Very scary.

This is why, IMO, Bernie can beat Trump, or any of these assclowns. Bernie is not running any Cons, or triangulating, or whatever they call calculating politics these days.

Hillary may not beat all of these guys. from CNN:

Dems vs Trump:
Clinton 52 - Trump 44
Sanders 55- Trump 43

Dems vs Rubio:
Clinton 47 - Rubio 50
Sanders 53- Rubio 45

Dems vs Cruz:
Clinton 48 - Cruz 49
Sanders 57- Cruz 40

It is still early, though, but worries me.
