CV147 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 The Democratic Primary's entertainment value just went up. Now we just need Hill-Dog to get back into it for maximum levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sebasour Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Bernie seemed to appeal to working class white Democrats in the primaries, and he excited the base. I think he'd beat Trump Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDSUfan Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 We NEED "Taco Bell" O'Rourke in the race....NOW!

Nevada Convert Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Sanders is too old. Biden is too old, but he’ll crash and burn when his opponents dig up his skeletons and make him look like a closet racist. Everyone knows about his jokes making fun of foreign 7-11 workers, but there’s a lot more out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s right, I forgot about that incident. @jackmormon and the DNC team did a great job sweeping it under the rug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nevada Convert Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Taco Bell falls into the white boy class, especially when you compare him to other minority’s running. He comes across as a simple minded boy, he ain’t qualified, he can’t even beat Ted Cruz and he ain’t much smarter than AOC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJSUMFA2013 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Agree with Wilson above. Bernie will do more harm than good. He should stay behind the scenes and advise candidates who actually have a chance. Im pretty underwhelmed with the democratic crop so far. That said, I’d vote for Jared from subway if he has the best chance of beating trump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He does have to improve with minority voters from last time, however he's going to enter the race with as much name recognition as anyone and already has a solid and loyal base established. On top of that he'll have plenty of opponents splitting the main stream Democratic vote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As of right now I think Bernie has the best chance to beat Trump. Obviously the election isn’t tomorrow but if it was he’s the only candidate that beats him in the polls, I believe. thelawlorfaithful, on 31 Dec 2012 - 04:01 AM, said:One of the rules I live by: never underestimate a man in a dandy looking sweater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biden is the only one leading Trump in polls by any margin larger than the margin of error. Though as I say that, I recall that he's not officially in it.

Obviously the election isn’t tomorrow but if it was he’s the only candidate that beats him in the polls, I believe. He also has more appeal to white middle class voters than a lot of Democrats. People think because he's a flaming lefty that he would only have success among uber Liberals. Yet look at the last election and the states that he won. White and rural America is where Bernie was winning and picking up delegates. It was the big cities and states with diverse populations that cost him. He needs to do a far better job with African American voters this time to have a chance though. The South dominates the early part of the primary process, and the Democratic Primary electorate in those states tends to be around 70% Black. That''s where Hillary buried him last time, and picked up a lead that Bernie would never be able to make up. He either needs to get more of those voters or pray that enough candidates split that vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
