Sanders: I will beat Trump 'badly' in general election

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 average low information voter won’t stop and think who will pay for the free stuff.

The average low information voter doesn't care who pays for the free stuff. They believe they are entitled to free stuff because they have received free stuff or have seen their friends and neighbors receive free stuff their entire lives. Free meals at school, free school supplies, free holiday meals, free winter coats, free toys at Christmas, free cellphones.

Why stop now?

Exactly my point. How does Trump or Cruz defend against "free stuff"?

The last time I told myself that an openly socialist candidate could never be elected president in the USA was 2008.

He was anything but open and the media did all the shucking and jiving it needed to so that everything stayed under wraps.

I hear you. It even gets worse however, they have convinced everyone at their church that they are simply down on their luck, so people donate things left and right to them. They’ve figured out how to game the system and people to take care of them. It chaps my hide when I’m forced to be around them and I realize I’m the only person in the room with a job.

Are there enough sane voters that know “free stuff” isn’t free? Hope so!

Remember Obama met Hillary in the White House for a secret meeting a couple months ago. Nothing was ever leaked what the two discussed. Hillary may have some bad things to threaten Obama. Maybe she cut a deal with him. Do not know if the two are actually friends.

Bloomberg should run as Bernie’s VP and they should run on the Socialist-Marxist Party...
