Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders on Sunday dismissed concerns that he can't win a general election.
Responding to comments from Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.), who said he is unelectable, Sanders said he would beat Republican primary front-runner Donald Trump "badly" in a head-to-head matchup.
"Well, what I say to her is that if she would look at the matchups that are taking place between Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump right now, she would find that we were 15 points ahead of him nationally," Sanders said on NBC's "Meet the Press."

The fact that Sanders is polling above 1% is simply proof that even the Democrats do not want to vote for Hillary.
In any other election year, a 74 year old white, male, Socialist Senator from a small (almost entirely white) state would be running as an unelectable fringe candidate even among the Democrats.

If Bernie wins, we’ll know the game is rigged.
Question is what would we do about it.

Well said. My sentiments exactly. We sure know how to snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory.

Trump probably won’t use the word ‘Socialist’ either.
He prefers the word ‘Communist’ and has used that to describe him.

Bernie actually scares me. Anytime you promise that much free stuff, you get votes. The average low information voter won’t stop and think who will pay for the free stuff.

"Sanders: I will beat Trump 'badly' in general election"
That would certainly demonstrate the ignorance of the electorate. Many will mark their ballots based solely on the lies of October.
