Feel The Bern 2020

[rogue06]

In 2016 Clinton won Iowa but it was essentially a tie. Sanders cleaned up in NH. How did all that turn out in the end?

How else could it end in a rigged primary where it didn't matter who actually won because Hillary would get the most delegates regardless?

[rogue06]

That is what the Bernie supporters claimed.

Would those be the Bernie Boy who actually went to Washington and tried to assassinate Republicans, or the Bernie Boys who get nostalgic about gulags and talk about putting Republicans in them?

I mean, those are the rules that the DNC set of how the delegates are awarded. That's called "following the rules," not cheating.

Of course, the DNC could have just outright cancelled their primaries like the RNC is doing these days (8 so far!). But that would be cheating, wouldn't it?

Yes, bless their little Commie hearts...

In case anyone missed the Biden last nail in the coffin...

Republican conspiracy theories aren't going to have any effect on the Dem primary.

That Bernie is going to win the Dem primary became obvious to most people a few days ago when he started pulling ahead in the polls. Most betting markets altered their odds a couple of days ago to have Bernie in the lead.

Trump vs Sanders... Anyone want to place bets?

Polling pretty consistently shows Bernie beats Trump by the biggest margin of any of the Dem candidates.

You may be interested to know that there was a secret audio recording of Trump released a couple of days ago. Trump was talking to friends about the 2016 election, and admitted he was very glad Hillary picked Kaine and not Bernie as her VP, because he was concerned that he'd have had great difficulty beating her if Bernie was her VP:

This is consistent with what inside sources report about Trump's ongoing concern that he can't win against Bernie. Trump understands marketing, and he can see how popular Bernie's message is and understands why people like it. The betting markets have also long had Bernie beating Trump with much better odds than they give Biden to beat Trump, so it's not just Trump who understand's he'll get destroyed by Bernie.

Don't fall into the trap of thinking "we just have to say 'socialism!!!' and Bernie will lose". Republicans have been crying wolf about all dems being socialist for decades now, and the American public has been pretty well immunized against any negative connotations to that word.

Sanders consistently polls as the most liked of the 100 senators, and he's the longest serving independent politician in US congressional history. He's the most popular candidate among serving military members, among young people, among independents, and among women. He's tied with Biden for most popular among Blacks. If you think Trump can beat him by being more popular among old white Republican men, good luck to you, cos you're going to need it.

Trump enjoys a 72 point lead over his nearest rival. Could that be the reason for the canceled primaries instead of your conclusion jumping?

I have $100 that says otherwise - are you in?

And...?

[rogue06]

Last night was the final nail in Biden's coffin. Bernie will win Iowa and New Hampshire then off to the races. Trump vs Sanders... Anyone want to place bets?

Biden will win big in South Carolina which will be enough to make it between him and Sanders if he does indeed win the first two primaries.

Remember these are Democrat primaries where the party leaders select their candidate regardless of who gets voted for.

[lilpixieofterror]

And...?

Trumps nearest Republican challenger is 72 points behind. Is that really a contest?

[rogue06]

Those Kooky Bidens...

Yeah, it isn't just Hunter who is neck deep in shady business practices and potential influence peddling.

Do you think you responded to my point?

Right. And Republicans cancelling primaries is what exactly?

[Cow Poke]

So.... ORANGE MAN BAD, for messing in Ukraine's corruption... but DON'T.... DON'T, I SAY..... pay any attention to Saint Hunter!

(I am SHOCKED to learn there's corruption going on .... oh, thank you for that board membership)

Do you think you responded to my point?

Your claim:

“The Republicans are cheating because of canceled primaries.”

Fact: Trump is polling well over 500% higher than his nearest Republican opponent. There really is no contest, Weld is not going to win the nomination from Trump.

Sounds like your point is beat. A 72.5% lead is no contest. Few even know who Weld is let alone that he’s running.
