POLL: Bernie Sanders Is Beating EVERY Republican Candidate

[The 2020 New Member]

So why doesn't he switch to the Republican party?

Been sayin this...

Democrat vote spread out amongst like three people. There's about 20 republicans.

These numbers are meaningless.

yep everything is shyt and giggles but its way to early to take polling serious. Back in 06-07 Obama wasn't killing it in the polls either. Once the televised debates start then these things start to matter

Was at the Fresno for Bernie live cast the other day and was surprised how much support he had. There was a lot of first time voters there and it wasn't just old people.

I went to one in Jersey, around 50 people showed up and the diversity was impressive.

The one I went to said they counted 170 people there. Fresno is a pretty diverse area so most things that happen in the city are diverse. Seeing young people getting out to get involved was impressive though.

This is actually a really good question. I don't know why, but I hope someone can answer. Might make a thread on it if you don't get an answer in this one.

He could run under the Whig party as a third party candidate and lock up Hillary's block so Trump can win. How epic would that be?

[Baka's Weird Case]

the fact that he still isnt really a threat like that to hillary should show how locked this next election is

538 says that Bernie Sanders has no chance for two main reasons.

Sanders may be polling well in mostly white New Hampshire, but he hasn’t been able to figure out how to earn more than 5 percent of the nonwhite vote, according to nationalpolls. Nonwhite voters make up more than a third of Democratic primary voters nationally.

Sanders has very little establishment backing: Of the 111 governors, senators and members of the House to have endorsed a Democratic candidate, 100 percent have endorsed Clinton. Only Gore in 2000 came close to winning this large a percentage of the endorsements at this point in the campaign. Clinton’s support comes from north, south, east, west, black, Latino and white.

If Sanders could make inroads in the Black and Latino communities, and keep building the grassroots support, then there's a chance he could make this a "the people vs. the establishment" race. But as long as he's primarily only appealing to liberal White voters, he really has no shot at all in the primary, and so it's pointless to talk about what he'd do in a head-to-head against the Republicans.
