Stop the presses! According to a new poll by Quinnipiac University on Tuesday, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) destroys Republican candidate Donald Trump in a general election by 13 percentage points. In this new poll, Sanders has 51 percent to Trump's 38 percent. If this margin held in a general election, Democrats would almost certainly regain control of the United States Senate and very possibly the House of Representatives.

It is high time and long overdue for television networks such as CNN to end their obsession with Trump and report the all-important fact that in most polls, both Hillary Clinton and Sanders would defeat Trump by landslide margins. In the new Quinnipiac poll, Clinton would defeat Trump by 7 percentage points, which is itself impressive and would qualify as a landslide, while the Sanders lead of 13 points would bring a landslide of epic proportions.

I’m a native New Yorker, actually, and trump’s bread and circuses wear thin on me. Plus, he’s a standard New York liberal, in the pocket of Big Labor.

I’m not sure if Trump will fade, but I think Cruz will win Iowa, and start building momentum.

The worst case for the Dems is what I’m hoping for - Cruz get’s Trumps endorsement and Bernie goes third party.

Thanks for the response. If he wins the primary, I’ll vote for him in the General. Not sure yet as far as the primary vote is concerned. I like Ted Cruz, but we shall see. There is still time for water to pass under the bridge.
