45. Why would there be any need to evade?

Last I checked he's polling above the other candidates with non-white voters, which is an excellent sign of progression from 2016. Whether that will translate into victory in the south is another question of course (long way to go before we can predict that) but its a promising sign that he recognized his weakness and spent these last years working to fix it. NV isn't (or at least shouldn't be) a massive danger to him, he was very close there last time around.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided

Statesman:a skilled, experienced, and respected political leader or figure. WordsMatter Feb 2019 #13

That's a matter of opinion with Sanders. "Controversial" is more what comes to mind. marylandblue Feb 2019 #18

Is he that controversial though, really? Kentonio Feb 2019 #44

I think people like to watch the controversy in the media marylandblue Feb 2019 #52

Yeah, this and the donations help explain this morning's ridiculous attack about Bernie taking KPN Feb 2019 #4

That's what I figured too workinclasszero Feb 2019 #21

Yup, the critics were wrong about Bernie, AS USUAL!! Never count Bernie out... InAbLuEsTaTe Feb 2019 #15

Volunteers and donors don't translate to victory. After NH comes NV, SC and Super Tuesday. Garrett78 Feb 2019 #28

In what way was NV a "massive danger" to Sanders? ehrnst Feb 2019 #53

Bernie is far more popular in the real world than on DU. earthshine Feb 2019 #16

Last time I looked, the year is 2018. earthshine Feb 2019 #41

Last time I looked, the year is 2019. Garrett78 Feb 2019 #42

No reason other than polling data showing far higher approval and voting intentions than last time? Kentonio Feb 2019 #46

You shouldn't conflate liking a candidate in general with voting intentions. Garrett78 Feb 2019 #51

Where do you get data for "voting intentions?" (nt) ehrnst Feb 2019 #54

Especially given the recent revelations by female (& male) staffers on his last POTUS campaign. (nt) ehrnst Feb 2019 #55
