Election 2020: Sanders' Adviser Writes Alarming Memo - Biden Could Lose in November
IB Times ^ | 5/16/20 | James Patterson

Posted on 05/16/2020 3:01:31 PM PDT by Libloather

Jeff Weaver, a top adviser to the presidential campaign of Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., which officially ended in April, has written a memo warning that the presumptive Democratic nominee, former vice president Joe Biden, might lose some votes from Sander’s supporters. He says they have become “unsupportive and unenthusiastic” about Biden’s candidacy.

Weaver wrote, “There is a real and urgent need to help Biden consolidate Sanders' supporters. If all of Sanders’ base turned out for Joe Biden in November, he could defeat Trump and take back the White House for Democrats. Here’s the problem: significant portions don’t currently plan to.” Sanders’ supporters include Latinos, working-class voters and young people.

Recent allegations of sexual misconduct by former aide Tara Reade in 1993 have not helped Biden’s image with some potential voters, namely female progressives.

Weaver goes on to say that those votes will be needed to defeat President Donald Trump in the upcoming election. “Treating Sanders supporters as throw-away votes will ultimately be at the expense of the party, down-ballot candidates, and our ability to enact real policy solutions for Americans. Despite best intentions, the Biden campaign and the [Democratic National Committee] are far behind on digital organizing, Latino outreach and progressive coalition building, all critical to reaching and winning over Sanders supporters.”

But Real Clear Politics just had a poll on Fox with Biden way ahead of Trump in key states. Do they really expect us to believe this nonsense?
I’m sure Fox will come out with a poll showing Biden winning in a landslide.

VOTER FRAUD is Trump’s and the Constitution’s ONLY opponent in 2020 election.

Republican tricksters should run with this by saying that the Bernie bros are not going to be passive, but actively try to sabotage and derail the Biden campaign to punish the Democrats for “cheating” Bernie out of the nomination, *twice*.

Even going so far as to lobby the socialists who are congressmen, to all of a sudden betray the Democrats to cause them a huge defeat.

Joe Biden might be the worst political candidate for POTUS ever fielded by either party.

And they say he “could” lose?

Lol...

Looks like the leftists are in for another horrifying awakening! A replay of November 8, 2016.

The psychotic are always horrified when truth shatters their unshakeable delusions.

This morning my phone had a link to an article (I think from CNN) about how Biden was polling 6 points better than Hillary and was leading Trump not only nationally but in the key battleground states.

I find that hard to believe when only 54% of Democrats are happy with Biden as the nominee, but polls like that may make it less likely that Biden will be replaced by a different nominee.

So the MAIL-IN VOTER FRAUD WILL CONTINUE and the only “penalty” is a temporary halt of some funding.

That’s just great....
