Could Bernie win against Trump?

I don’t think so. However, the media believes they are a brainwashing tool. They believe they can achieve mental control over enough to form a majority of the electorate. They did a good job in the 2018 midterms, but the Repubs did a lousy job thanks to Paul Ryan and the fact that Trump was not running.

President Trump is so formidable that his arguments against socialism will be devastating in any debate setting.

I fully expect Sanders to refuse to debate...maybe ANY democrat will refuse to debate Trump.

Who will be their actual nominee? The establishment doesn’t want bernie, so my sense is that the NYT tipped the insider hand last week. It will probably be Klobuchar and a YOUNG anointed VP this time. It will be a bone to the progressives, so I’m going with a media star....Rachel Maddow???

The question is would the democrats manufracture enough ballots for Bernie to win...

I thuink they would rather let him lose and just go after Trump for four more years..

Bernie is like Trump in that he is an outsider

Sanders will win the nomination. The plan was to throw Biden under the bus *after* he got enough delegates to prevent a first ballot nomination of anybody else but before he could get enough to win the nomination himself thus allowing for a brokered convention. But they bungled the timing or the Republican defense disrupted their plan. Bernie now has enough momentum to capture the hard core leftie votes while the moderates scratch their heads and sit it out or shake them in disgust and vote for Trump instead.

Madcow will never hold an office that high. Too looney, too many gaffes, too stupid to cover for the other two problems.

Bernie cannot win against Trump. However, he is most likely to get the nomination at this point. None of the other (Dem candidates) have inspired.

This sets the stage for AOC in 2024 as the nominee - believe it or not. There are no other Democrats that can compete with her IMO.

I hope that the Republicans can find another candidate like Trump. Right now, I don't see anybody.
