2020 Presidential Election

[Martina]

Polling has Sanders the biggest winner over Trump in most states where a Democrat would likely win. Not in New York (I think it was Bloomberg), but he would certainly carry New York if he got the nomination. He is the most electable Democrat at the moment. I don't know what negative info people think might be out there, but I think since Bernie has been in Congress for thirty years, most of it has come out.

Bloomberg is going to hurt Biden and Klobuchar and perhaps Warren. But he's not taking Bernie voters, predictably. So he is actually helping Sanders. Bernie has got the Democratic Party and the liberal media against him. If there were a lot of negative stories about him, they'd be getting attention now.

MSNBC is so sad. They keep doing the math and hoping it will all come out differently. Lol. They keep giving Klobuchar free publicity. They love her.

Bernie is almost guaranteed to win Michigan in the general election. And he's ahead of Trump in polls in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. That would be it. End of story. Plus he's tied in Florida and only two points behind Trump in Texas in the latest poll. It could be a landslide for Bernie.

Chris Matthews just apologized to Bernie for comparing the Nevada win to the Nazi invasion of France. It was a good moment. Lol.

They are making hay over this Fidel Castro comment though. That was a mistake Bernie didn't need to make.

I saw that mistake, and thought it was stupid of him praising some of Fidel's actions there, I don't think he realizes how fearful many are of communism. I've vacationed in Cuba, and could never live in a place like that.

It would be better were he to stress and state often that he is still promoting democracy, and being a democrat. After all, I live in a democracy that offers free medicare to all. So, it would be of benefit for him to state that there are democracies in the world that offer free medicare - such as Canada, UK, etc. - in other words, he must educate the voters.

The op research file on Sanders is damning. Anyone pretending that it's not is living in a fantasy land.

No Democrat wants to run down-ticket with him. A presidential nominee is not supposed to be a huge liability for other Democrats trying to get elected.

He has all the Florida Democrats up in arms over his remarks about Castro in his recent 60 Minute interview:

I hope Sanders gets hit hard at the debate. He has been skating and getting off way too easy.

He's a train wreck for the Democratic party.

The point is everyone thinks Bernie is the weakest candidate except of course the Bernie faithful.

God help us all.

Sanders seriously considered primarying President Obama in 2012. What an asshole.

Biden's new ad:

The Castro stuff just happened. What research are you talking about? Apparently the entire country is in fantasy land because no one is talking about it. The Castro thing was massively stupid. Bernie can usually be trusted not to do things like that. He won't stay tied in Florida for long if he defends that statement during the debates.

How can he be the weakest candidate when in polls pitting each Democrat running against Trump, Bernie does the best? Asserting things doesn't make them so.

Oh, they will be talking about. You are in complete denial.

I'll be back with a nice succinct list later.

Here's Clinton's research. It didn't make a big splash then. I don't think it's going to discourage many people now. Some of it is regrettable and wrong -- guns. But he's been more consistent than Biden by far. And Bloomberg of course, who has changed parties. I think the socialist stuff will scare some, but the more air time Bernie gets, the more people he wins over with his decency and authenticity. People like him.
