In reply to the discussion: Bernie Sanders's agenda makes him the definition of unelectable [View all]pfeiffer
(280 posts)6. After last nite's debate...
I am not able to see how Bernie could ever beat Trump. Bernie yells his ideas at everyone (with that angry red spittle face of his) but he doesn't give nearly enough specifics as to how he will get his ideas written into law. He does indeed come across as a loud and angry socialist. That's just my honest take from watching his debate performance. And good grief...if he wins the nomination...Trump and the Russians won't need to write any attack ads...cuz those attack ads are gonna write themselves.
P.S. And last nite...Elizabeth did not put up with any of Bernie's nonsense. I thought she did fantastic against him.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

That's not a poll about winning a debate, and the differences are within the margin of error. N/T

I thought it was most important to elect the one with the best chance to beat Trump?

You're correct. How could he possibly be electable in the General Election if he's not a candidate?

MALARKEY! Bernie's the ONLY Democrat running with an agenda progressive enough to energize the base

You seem to think Bernie has a "base" that's large enough to win a national election,

She did do well. I am disappointed with her that she did not see sanders for who he really is

This isn't a poll of voters!! This is a poll of Daily Kos readers. A good but VERY left leaning
