with Billionaires. And none of the Billionaires in Scandinavia appear in top richest list.
The tax rates make sure no Scandinavian will be worth more than combined wealth of bottom 50%.

Consolidation To Biden, Even If He Gets the Nomination, Doesn't Imply A Win Against Trump [View all] berni_mccoy Mar 2020 OP

No, but it does improve the odds dramatically (over a Bernie nomination) AGeddy Mar 2020 #1

That is still debatable. berni_mccoy Mar 2020 #4

Bernie is hated by the right almost as much as Clinton, and makes enemies on all sides. LongtimeAZDem Mar 2020 #27

There is no factual basis for that statement. In fact, Bernie has more cross-over appeal berni_mccoy Mar 2020 #45

You need to go look at sites for the other side; you are in for a rude awakening LongtimeAZDem Mar 2020 #47

You need to look at polling data berni_mccoy Mar 2020 #59

You might try taking your own advice... k2qb3 Mar 2020 #66

Biden won't lose Butterflylady Mar 2020 #68

I doubt if you have any facts & figures to prove that conjecture at140 Mar 2020 #80

Not true Polybius Mar 2020 #91

It will not help the NJ 7th District JustAnotherGen Mar 2020 #48

Some candidates in purple/red areas would have to distance themselves from Sanders. TwilightZone Mar 2020 #51

True dat!! Joe WILL learn a lot from Bernie on Super Tuesday, including InAbLuEsTaTe Mar 2020 #67

Bernie will learn tomorrow how many voters are pissed he didn't go to Selma. zackymilly Mar 2020 #70

Yes, without winning down ballot race, PatSeg Mar 2020 #14

Exactly, Biden is our best bet. He is the ONLY candidate the Idiot is afraid of. Look at the lengths onetexan Mar 2020 #23

This isn't our first rodeo SiliconValley_Dem Mar 2020 #2

Oh, you're not going to damp down the excitement today. MineralMan Mar 2020 #3

Yay, We Beat Trump. It's over, why go vote?!? berni_mccoy Mar 2020 #5

You know, I don't think that will be happening, really. MineralMan Mar 2020 #12

No one is even implying that. TwilightZone Mar 2020 #55

Look around. There are people celebrating beating Trump. berni_mccoy Mar 2020 #57

Excitement matters far more than you think. MineralMan Mar 2020 #71

That's a fair point and I'm not trying to quash it berni_mccoy Mar 2020 #72

I agree PatSeg Mar 2020 #15

I've followed Joe for many years PatSeg Mar 2020 #6

Gore, Kerry and Clinton all had those as well berni_mccoy Mar 2020 #10

This is quite unlike any election PatSeg Mar 2020 #19

Same thing was said about Bush berni_mccoy Mar 2020 #24

I think anyone who was paying attention PatSeg Mar 2020 #36

Nah, what it's really about is you not getting what you want as far as the nominee HarlanPepper Mar 2020 #62

It doesn't, but it swings the odd much more in our favor... SKKY Mar 2020 #7

unlike clinton, gore and kerry; moderate repubs will vote for biden AlexSFCA Mar 2020 #8

And independents as well! PatSeg Mar 2020 #22

Not one Biden supporter has provided a reason why. berni_mccoy Mar 2020 #35

Hogwash ibegurpard Mar 2020 #76

Relentless drivel bucolic_frolic Mar 2020 #9

So what does Imply A Win Against Trump? William769 Mar 2020 #11

What I outlined berni_mccoy Mar 2020 #17

That would be a good arguement William769 Mar 2020 #21

Waiting to develop those things until June is a huge mistake. berni_mccoy Mar 2020 #26

As of today neither are our recent candidates. William769 Mar 2020 #29

That's incorrect berni_mccoy Mar 2020 #31

And with the support of two of them... William769 Mar 2020 #34

So far, he's only got the support of Buttigieg. berni_mccoy Mar 2020 #38

Have a nice day. William769 Mar 2020 #40

And with all the support Joe is getting PatSeg Mar 2020 #28

That is my point berni_mccoy Mar 2020 #33

Well, I just disagree PatSeg Mar 2020 #44

"A policy platform that represents progress and gives people hope " TwilightZone Mar 2020 #53

Actually the idea that Biden has a better shot at beating Trump is what is driving the enthusiasm. honest.abe Mar 2020 #13

Nobody who gets the nomination is guaranteed a win against Trump. frazzled Mar 2020 #16

Sanders has attacked Democrats his whole life and done damage the last five years. LizBeth Mar 2020 #18

I'm not surprised at that berni_mccoy Mar 2020 #20

I haven't seen anyone talking about it being an easy win for Biden. I do think it would be an easy LizBeth Mar 2020 #39

A much better chance than a socialist. brush Mar 2020 #25

Again with the attacks on Bernie berni_mccoy Mar 2020 #30

Sanders himself calls himself a socialist and has his whole life. LizBeth Mar 2020 #42

Again, leaving out the word he puts first: "Democratic" berni_mccoy Mar 2020 #49

He only started putting that word first in 2015. I believe Sanders five decades before it LizBeth Mar 2020 #54

Few will understand the difference. honest.abe Mar 2020 #61

Few will care what he puts by his name. berni_mccoy Mar 2020 #63

Oh many will care when the GOP attack machine gets in gear against Sanders if he is the nominee. honest.abe Mar 2020 #65

"Socialists" are NOT all same, just like all people are not same at140 Mar 2020 #81

Point? What does America hear, Socialist. Then throw in S America dictators. LizBeth Mar 2020 #83

I thought my point was obvious? at140 Mar 2020 #84

That would be wrong. Ah delusions of utopia. LizBeth Mar 2020 #85

Aha, look carefully, Scandinavia is not even in top 15 countries at140 Mar 2020 #87

When you're explaining the difference between a socialist and democratic,,, brush Mar 2020 #46

Bernie polls better head to head against Trump, and Bernie would attract some crossover votes. Meadowoak Mar 2020 #32

You should pay more attention to Presidential campaign history Berni grantcart Mar 2020 #37

I'm aware of those campaigns as well berni_mccoy Mar 2020 #43

Warren has shown complete utter failure so far in this primary. William769 Mar 2020 #50

She's actually done better than Joe on a lot of levels berni_mccoy Mar 2020 #56

with 8 delegates, she's doing alot better. William769 Mar 2020 #58

Maybe Progressive2020 Mar 2020 #41

Watch, itll be someone elses fault JackInGreen Mar 2020 #52

Oh, come on, it's a start! Baked Potato Mar 2020 #64

He's Not "Campaigning Poorly" DarthDem Mar 2020 #78

No, he is definitely not campaigning well. berni_mccoy Mar 2020 #79

This is beginning to look like a coronation dlk Mar 2020 #82

Every election is different. DemocratSinceBirth Mar 2020 #86

If he's campaigning that poorly, Codeine Mar 2020 #88

Just voted for Warren. Alex4Martinez Mar 2020 #89
