Bernie Sanders Says He Doesn’t Trust Polling Saying Trump Loses: Going to Be ‘A Tough Opponent’
Mediaite ^ | June 8, 2019 | Connor Mannion

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) says he isn’t relying on polling indicating President Donald Trump loses the election to him or loses key swing states.

“I know all of the polls say Trump is gonna be beaten,” the 2020 presidential candidate said. “And they have me ahead of him in Michigan and Pennsylvania and Wisconsin–battleground states.”

Sanders logically should be touting polls that say he beats Trump, since a key alleged reason for nominating Biden is that he can beat Trump.

> One thing it seems about Bernie, he’s honest. <

He’s certainly one of the more honest liberals out there. Of course, that’s not saying much. On that side of the aisle, the honesty bar is really low.

Bernie is also one of the more dangerous liberals out there. But that’s for another thread.

By the way, here’s some genuine Bernie honesty. He was recently asked if the U.S. should have open borders. No waffling from the Bern on this one.

“If you open the borders, my God, there’s a lot of poverty in this world, and you’re going to have people from all over the world. And I don’t think that’s something that we can do at this point. Can’t do it. So that is not my position.”

“Bernie, he’s honest.”

If you’ve nothing bad to say about a leftist then say nothing at all.

Polls and news have the same problem: so much is falsified none of it can be believed. All of the technology and science has been neutralized by being bestowed on flawed and small minded humanity. Progress is for naught in the hands greedy little people.

He should trust the polls. They are always right, especially when they push what you want. Heh heh...

You won’t have to worry about it Bernie. After the way the DNC sabotaged you last time, do you really think they’d let you even get close to having Hillary’s sloppy seconds?

* * * *

Correction: the key phrase highlighted: Bernie: "And I don't think that's something that we can do at this point.

In other words, Bernie speaks with forked tongue. Translation, when Bernie is in office, open the gates wide to illegal alien voters!!!

First you got to beat Biden and the theft of delegates Bernie. Looking beyond that right mow is telling. Bernie will do another fall guy stunt, no doubt. Dang. They stole my delegates again. Oh well. Got another house out of the deal.

The 2020 election will be decided by ethnic voter turn out.

According to Pew Research, one third of eligible voters in 2020 will be non-white.

Non-whites vote 75%-80% for the Democrat Party. If they turn out at the same rate they turned out for Obama, Trump will lose.

In 2016, Trump got just 57% of the white vote. Trump needs to get at least 60% of the white vote to be competitive in 2020.

> Bernie is in office, open the gates wide to illegal alien voters <

I don’t know about that. I suspect that Bernie correctly realizes that illegal immigrants push down wages, especially among the semi-skilled and unskilled.

That’s something that most black leaders don’t understand, or won’t admit.

Anyway, a President Bernie would be quite conflicted. More illegals would mean more Democrat votes. But it would also reduce the wages of the proletariat.

Ol’ Bern would probably solve the problem by taxing the wealthy at 100%, then giving that money to the proletariat.

Onward the Revolution!

I'm not convinced about that. Just because he's willing to be the skunk at the picnic doesn't necessarily make him honest in all things. I can think of a former co-worker who loved to be the bearer of bad news but whom I wouldn't trust as far as I could spit with my mouth closed.

No. I saw it as a lying hedge for the LEFT.

Implying that he would at some point.

I would rather swallow a hollow point than vote for Bernie.

But I don’t believe he INTENTIONALLY wants to destroy America, like many of the other ones.

He’s just too dumb to know his policies would.
