Bernie Sanders is beating every republican in a hypothetical match up among general voters

[williepete]

Anyone but Hillary. I can at least listen to crazy Uncle Bernie. I break the sound barrier dashing for the mute button every time I see Hillary start to bark.

Besides, nothing would have more comedic value as hearing the whoopee cushion sales pitch of a 74-year-old socialist after my vote:

Like a mid volume extended squeaker with a resonant flourish.

National Polls Suggest That Bernie Sanders May Be More Electable Than Hillary Clinton

I love rubbing this into conservatives' faces. You people need to face facts that you underestimated him. The evil socialist is (for now) the most electable candidate in this race. Not only that, but he has the highest favorability rating than any other candidate in this race. He has raised more in donations than any republican candidate. Hillary has raised more than Bernie, but she did so with the help of super PACs. Bernie did not use those which means he has MORE INDIVIDUAL DONATIONS THAN ANY CANDIDATE IN THE RACE.

1. Polls this far out don't mean a thing, lol. I know it, you know it.

2. Know what is really happening? GOP WANTS Bernie to stay in the race, and hopefully beat Hillary, so won't attack his economic nonsense until it helps them, and not Hillary.

3. Hillary can't attack him on economics to much, without blowing her own cover, so she is in a catch 22.

Bernie is full of economic nonsense, hoping he wins the nomination would be a dream come true, and taking his economic ideas apart will be easier than taking candy from a baby. To bad Hillary can't do it, she might win the nomination instead of him, lololol!

1) Yes, these numbers could easily change, but that doesn't mean they mean nothing. It shows that Bernie does a have a shot in winning a general election even if it is too early to know for sure. It also a shows how virtually everyone underestimated him. Of course, I'm guessing you would be singing a very different tune about these polls had they shown that the repubs were beating Hillary and Bernie at this point. Just admit it

2) Could your assumption be any dumber? You honestly think that's the reason these polls in his favor? You're full of shit and you know it. you of course conveniently ignore him having the highest favorability rating and having more money raised in donations than any GOP candidate.

His economic ideas torn apart huh? Are those supposed to better than Trump's, Rubio's, and Cruz's tax plans cutting revenue by trillions over 10 years? Trump would add to the debt by 19 trillion. Cruz would at 8 trillion over 10 years.

1. Wrong. Numbers can change, and for the general, I don't care if it says the GOP is ahead by 25, it means nothing. Hell, Carter was ahead of Regan by 10 with 6 weeks to go. Anything can happen.

2. I agree, his favorability rating is high. That is because nobody is saying much bad about him. Only Hillary tried a little, and who believes a liar? Should tell you how much people trust what she says-) Remember, NOBODY is attacking him very much.

3. Now there you go again! You turn from Sanders plans to everybody else's. When someone tells everyone their taxes are going to rise significantly to put in new stuff, now people are going to listen, don't you think? Let us count, ready-------> How many recipients GET stuff............how many peoples taxes have to go up to pay for it?

Now then, I ask you as a thinking person......................if he says he is going to pay for it by taxing corporations; how many corporations are going to publicly say, long before the election "we are blowing this popstand!" Now guess who works at those corporations-) That is correct......VOTERS-) How many of those VOTERS are going to vote themselves out of a job?

Good luck with that one!

 

[Confounding]

Clinton supporters, please support Bernie instead. Clinton is not going to win the general election.

Hillary Clinton just can’t win: Democrats need to accept that only Bernie Sanders can defeat the GOP

In one major poll, Bernie Sanders is now leading Hillary Clinton nationally. In most others, he’s not far behind from the former Secretary of State. Vermont’s Senator already has an “edge over Clinton in matchups with GOP opponents,” dispelling Clinton’s electability myth. In an average of national polls, Bernie Sanders is less than eight points from Hillary Clinton, after being over 50 points behind in 2015. In addition, there’s only one person capable of challenging a Republican in 2016 without James Comey declaring national security was jeopardized by a private server.

Bernie Sanders is the only Democratic candidate capable of winning the White House in 2016. Please name the last person to win the presidency alongside an ongoing FBI investigation, negative favorability ratings, questions about character linked to continual flip-flops, a dubious money trail of donors, and the genuine contempt of the rival political party. In reality, Clinton is a liability to Democrats, and certainly not the person capable of ensuring liberal Supreme Court nominees and President Obama’s legacy.

The precious and all-knowing polls already show Bernie Sanders defeating Republicans in a general election and Robert Reich has already explained why Sanders can easily win the presidency. In a Huffington Post piece titled “6 Responses to Bernie Skeptic,” Reich debunks the trusted myth of Clinton supporters and Republicans:

“He’d never beat Trump or Cruz in a general election.”

Wrong. According to the latest polls, Bernie is the strongest Democratic candidate in the general election, defeating both Donald Trump and Ted Cruz in hypothetical matchups. (The latest RealClear Politics averages of all polls shows Bernie beating Trump by a larger margin than Hillary beats Trump, and Bernie beating Cruz while Hillary loses to Cruz.)

“America would never elect a socialist.”

P-l-e-a-s-e. America’s most successful and beloved government programs are social insurance – Social Security and Medicare. A highway is a shared social expenditure, as is the military and public parks and schools. The problem is we now have excessive socialism for the rich (bailouts of Wall Street, subsidies for Big Ag and Big Pharma, monopolization by cable companies and giant health insurers, giant tax-deductible CEO pay packages) – all of which Bernie wants to end or prevent.

As Reich points out in his article, America is already a nation of Democratic-Socialists, but many of us (Democrats and Republicans) simply uphold “excessive socialism for the rich.”

Bernie Sanders, unlike Clinton, defeats Donald Trump in a landslide of “epic proportions” in a general election and is the antithesis of a Republican. If you don’t believe me, then watch my friend Brian Hanley’s animated rap videos about Bernie Sanders demolishing Donald Trump.

Most importantly, and something the naysayers should learn, is that Bernie Sanders does better than Clinton against the GOP in a general election.

In addition, American voters don’t trust Hillary Clinton. At what point will critics of Bernie Sanders realize that American voters will never vote for a candidate they don’t trust and don’t like? In October of 2015, I explained in the following YouTube segment why Clinton is unelectable, and in another segment why Clinton must always evolve on key issues.

53.8% of all American voters have an “unfavorable” view of Hillary Clinton.

67% of American voters find Hillary Clinton “not honest and trustworthy,” compared with 59% for Donald Trump. Yes, more people trust Donald Trump.

After all, it’s difficult to trust a politician who completely fabricated a story about being fired upon by snipers. Like POLITIFACT states, “it’s hard to understand how she could err on something so significant as whether she did or didn’t dodge sniper bullets.”

71% of men and 64% of women find Clinton “not honest and trustworthy.”


74% of Independent voters find Clinton “not honest and trustworthy.”

35% of Democrats find Clinton “not honest and trustworthy.” Yes, even Democrats.

In contrast, Kathy Frankovic of YouGov.com states “Bernie Sanders is the most widely trusted presidential candidate of either party.”

Quinnipiac’s Feb. 18 report states “Sanders has the highest favorability rating of any candidate and the highest scores for honesty and integrity, for caring about voters’ needs and problems and for sharing voters’ values.” Sanders also ties Clinton on “having strong leadership qualities.”

In terms of Clinton’s leadership qualities, they haven’t translated to good judement. If the Clinton campaign expects to build upon President Obama’s accomplishments, then it should first discuss things with a former Obama intelligence official. Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn explains his view of Hillary Clinton’s email scandal in a CNN article titled “Former Obama Intel Official: Hillary Clinton Should Drop Out”:

President Barack Obama’s former top military intelligence official said Hillary Clinton should pull out of the presidential race while the FBI investigate her use of a private email server for official government communication while secretary of state.

“If it were me, I would have been out the door and probably in jail,” said Flynn, who decried what he said was a “lack of accountability, frankly, in a person who should have been much more responsible in her actions as the secretary of state of the United States of America.”

“This over-classification excuse is not an excuse,” Flynn said Friday. “If it’s classified, it’s classified.”

Flynn, who headed the Defense Intelligence Agency from July 2012 to August 2014, told Tapper that Clinton “knew better…“

No, Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn isn’t part of the GOP. He actually worked for President Obama. If you think the FBI, a former Obama intelligence official, the State Department’s own “internal watchdog,” and all the other elements of this expanded investigation make for a great presidency, then you’re certainly ready for Hillary in 2016.


Yes, a former Obama intelligence official suggests Clinton “drop out” of the presidential race. The FBI’s investigation of Clinton’s emails is “not letting up” and there is no end in sight. Good luck with nationally televised debates against a ruthless opponent like Trump (who will certainly make the email scandal a primary issue of every discussion), if you fear the loss of Supreme Court nominees and the future of our country. It’s doubtful any GOP challenger would gracefully declare, “Enough of the emails.”

Even if you believe Clinton would win a general election, remember that the FBI, or even the State Department, could uncover yet another group of “Top Secret” emails well into Clinton’s first term. The FBI could also urge the Justice Department to take action; even if Clinton wins the presidency. We’ve already seen one Clinton White House defend against scandal.

By the way, can anyone at The Daily Beast, The Daily Banter, or The Daily Hillary Clinton Inevitability Press please explain why Hillary Clinton felt the need to own a private server?

Vermont’s senator will become our next president and it should come as no surprise to people actually paying attention, and not repeating establishment talking points. I’ve been saying this since June 25, 2015, when 730,000 people on Facebook liked my article titled “It’s Official — Bernie Sanders Has Overtaken Hillary Clinton In the Hearts and Minds of Democrats.” True, I was wrong about Iowa, but at least I got the winner right, and I’ll be right about my greatest prediction: On Jan. 20, 2017 Bernie Sanders Will Be Sworn In as America’s 45th President.

Free education! Education is not a good to be bought or sold, it's a RIGHT of the individual! Healthcare? OMG! Don't you know EVERYONE should have free access to health care? The state should take care of its citizens! The rich have too much money, they can pay for that. Tax the rich!!! The US is the most powerful country in the world, it's unaceptable that we don't get stuff for free. Capitalism is wrong, SOCIALISM IS THE ANSWER, BERNIE SANDERS IS MY PRESIDENT!!!

Good luck with that one!

1) Again, just because the numbers are subject to change, does not mean they mean nothing. It does give us pause about his chances going forward. They show that the American people do like Bernie.

Lets pretend these numbers showed that Bernie was losing to the GOP candidates. Would your first thought be "well that could easily change. Bernie could beat them all." No of course not.

2) Hillary is already railing against Bernie's voting record. He's still been more consistent in his political career than any other candidate in this race. Everyone already knows he describes himself as a socialist. I doubt there is anything new repubs could come up with that would stick.

3) I'll admit his Medicare for all plan is not feasible, but everything else he has put forward is obtainable and is coupled with tax plans to pay for them. If you actually looked up his platform, you would know this. Compare that to repub's plans of cutting taxes and racking up the deficit AND plans to go to full scale war with ISIS. In comparison, Bernie's plans look decent.

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

While I don't find it impossible for Sanders to win, I think if he were to get the nomination ultimately he would lose the general as people learn more about how his policies and promises are going to truly hit them in the wallet. It's not just going to be the rich paying more. We all will and there millions of middle class Americans out there who simply can't afford to.

 

[Kurt]

Bernie is gonna win because most of the americans are socialists now. Go Sanders Go! With the help of the youth! For a long time America has been a capitalist country, but now we're gonna show the world how socialism works when it's right people doing it. Tears roll from my eyes when I imagine president Sanders. The most compassionate, kind, caring human being, he's going to take care of the poor, and take care of the people. America, when you see president Sanders in action you will never long for any other president!

 

[Rexx Taylor]

I would vote for a cloth and a barking dog over Hillary.

 

[B. Kidd]

Of course he is, the GOP is ruining their chance with minorities, who make up even more of the voting age population then in 2012.

Minorities and the have-not young still believe in Santie Claus............who knew?

 

[rdean]

"National polls suggest".
vs.
"Bernie Sanders is beating".

Suggest = Beating. Got it. And I bet they asked all 146,311,000 registered voters in the U.S. to make sure this predicted beating is dead nuts on. Voting Statistics – Statistic Brain

It's gonna be a beating. A BEATING!

You were doing pretty good until you started mocking education.

Why do you think GOP CEO's want immigrants and not redneck right wingers? Think about it.

Bernie Sanders is beating every republican in a hypothetical match up among general voters

As long as it's hypothetical, Bernie wins. Hillary hasn't hit Bernie Santa with his idea of doubling or tripling taxes to make education free and health care free for everyone.

I learned early that anything free has the value of free. And how much is free worth? Let's put it this way, who gives away stuff with value? Even Republicans who support charities, do it because they get a tax break. That makes it a trade off, not free. Kids who are happy to see their parents taxes double or triple should ask their parents if it matters? If it's..............."free"?

Won't matter, the fix is in, Hildabeast will be the nominee. NH proved that with the delegates

Seems it's minorities who love America more than so called Christian right wing Republicans. Looking at their disastrous policies under Bush when they were able to use reconciliation three times, Republicans give the appearance of hating America more than Isis hates America. After all, obstructionist Republicans have clearly done more damage.

While I clearly don't want Bernie Santa, for too long, corporations have been threatening America. This country is the market for those big corporations. Where else are they going to sell? Bosnia? Ecuador? There has to be a middle ground beyond cutting their taxes to zero and caving in to their demands from blackmail. Republicans would turn the country over to them. They are more scared of Isis than corporations. And Isis is 12,000 miles away in some desert. While corporations are running your lives.
