(39,349 posts)I think he would crumble in the general. Too many Democrats despise him and the Rs would find it easy to red scaremonger suburban voters to death. I also dont like that he exerts zero control over his most rabid supporters. His leadership skills in that respect are nil. Trump/Sanders would be the ugliest campaign imaginable.
Warren would pull from a broader base of support and hold up much better if given the chance. Shed also be far more likely to put together a functioning administration that gets things done. Bernie, based on the way he runs his campaign and who he surrounds himself with, would waste at least a full year cleaning up appointments that never should have been made. And by then he would be an 80-year-old man with a heart problem.
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
