Bernie Sanders: 'We Would Beat Donald Trump Badly'
NBC News' Meet The Press ^ | January 24, 2016 | Alexandra Jaffe

Bernie Sanders said Sunday that "there would be nothing more in this world that I would like" than to face Donald Trump in a general election fight, and that he would "beat him badly."

"I would very much look forward to a race against Donald Trump, a guy who does not want to raise the minimum wage, but wants to give hundreds of billions of dollars in tax breaks to the top two-tenths of 1% who thinks wages in America are too high and who thinks that climate change is a hoax, invented by the Chinese," he said on NBC's "Meet the Press."

"Chuck, there would be nothing more in this world that I would like than to take on Donald Trump. We would beat him, and we would beat him badly."

His comments come as polls have shown him narrowing Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton's lead in Iowa and opening up his own lead in New Hampshire. While the former Secretary of State still holds a significant advantage over the Vermont Senator in national polling, the tightening race in the two early voting states have some political observers questioning whether Clinton is the inevitable Democratic Party nominee, as most have long expected....

Sadly, after Obama's two elections, he just might.

Would be interesting and might signal the end or is there a chance for revival

A flat out communist vs a flat out capitalist.

A time for choosing.

Pray for America.

My Cousins Wife and Daughter both like Sanders. Sadly, the daughter will be old enough to vote about one month before the election. :(

Once people hear how Sanders wants to go into their bank account and decide if they have too much wealth there is NO WAY Sanders will win. Yes you have the freeloaders who of course love freebies but you also have people who don’t want to lose 90 percent of their wealth and have it spread around, which is exactly the reason why the DNC has put these debates at times where they know NO ONE will watch them.

Even Ma McCaskill went after poor Bernie. And yesterday, Jay Nixon, Dem. Gov. of Missouri said Bernie was "unelectable in Missouri because this state is not ready to elect a socialist." Or words to that effect.

Bernie's base is New England. South and Midwest and Mountain West will not vote for him.

“Sadly, after Obama’s two elections, he just might.”

Absolutely.

The electorate is becoming increasingly radicalized and they don’t like the Constitution. (and many haven’t even read it)

IMHO

Trump should taunt Da-Bern wit dis:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0WGVgfjnLqc

BTW, I drove through Upscale Suffield CT yesterday, and in front of a major intersection was a group of 30-40 something well healed Mom's and Dad's stumping for the Bern-Myster.

These folks looked like us, they have no freakin' clue what the Bern ( or Obama ) are all about, or the bought it hook, line, and sinker through their maturing years.

What is scarier is back in the day when I worked in this neck of the woods in CT I worked with a lot of brilliant engineering types that via Soviet-Jewery escaped the Clutches of Communism.

How soon they forget and how daft in the head they are for forgetting their plight as well...
