In reply to the discussion: Nate Silver: "Bernie Sanders is the only candidate with positive favorability rating" [View all]MelissaB
(16,595 posts)20. Quote:
My personal thought is the only way to win against Trump is with Bernie Sanders. I feel like the economy is getting worse and a recession is very possible at this point. I feel there might be more acts of terrorism. The economy and terrorism will be closely associated with Hillary Clinton in quite a few ways. Senator Bernie Sanders is an outsider and not as associated with the economy and whats going on overseas. Many of his plans and ideas, such as breaking up the big banks, will soften up these financial panics which are bound to happen.
I could see us in November with the economy on fire and some major act of terrorism which has taken place. Trump is standing there saying I told you so. and leading in the polls. The more I think about it, the more I believe Hillary Clinton is not electable. Sanders is very insulated from the things going on in the world and, in fact, he will be the one standing there saying I told you so.

Looking at it again, I think this quote is by the author, mikevadon, building on what Nate Silver said.

Interesting that his opinion is apparently not hanging on numbers, but also on outside events.

Given that Nate never said this, the decent thing to do would be to take this down.

As I said before, given that this is completely false, the decent thing would be to take it down.

Stating the obvious- Sanders has never been put throught the rightwing attack machine.
