Current Affairs 2020 Democratic Primary

Ok, even if we go along with the rest, in what world does “ignore polling” belong on that list??

I’m pretty sure EVERY (and if not, then almost every) head to head poll has Biden further ahead of Trump than Bernie is. Even more so when split down to look at swing states - which as we know is what actually matters

We don't really need to make a yardstick of how well this or that Dem would do against Trump in a debate when there's no reason to think Trump would ever agree to a debate as an incumbent. LBJ didn't, Nixon didn't, and I'm guessing Trump won't either.

her last name is clinton dont believe a word that comes out of her mouth.

Such a well reasoned argument.

People overseas with only a passing knowledge or memory of the Clintons might have forgotten that they (and especially Hillary) have been subjected to a GOP smear campaign since the early 1990s. Assumptions of their corruption are so high because so many have been taught to believe they're as high as rich American conservatives would have you believe.

But I wish Hillary Clinton would stop answering questions about Bernie Sanders. It's over.

I think Bernie is winning head to head in some polls against trump compared to other candidates.

If at all, then only nationally, which is meaningless. And even then, he’s mostly behind Biden in the #2 spot

As if Biden would get the youth vote. If he wins then I can imagine a whole movement of people, especially the toung just not bothering to vote and Trump getting a second term

The way Buttigieg and Kloubuchar dropped out to quickly endorse Biden right before today and now Beto O'Rourke going for it too suggests that the mega rich corporations backing these candidates are panicking.

But if Sanders can mobilize the youth vote he should be able to win the primary anyway, especially if he gets similar Latino turnout as he did in Nevada and the blue collar vote that Clinton didn’t get.

I honestly think they will find a way to oust Sanders regardless of results.
