Posted by ty97 Feb 22 '20, 16:00

I'm curious.

No. -- nm - Max Feb 22, 17:35
Yes, but I doubt he survives the term. (NM) - Marlowe Feb 22, 17:20
Yes. -- nm - Dark Callisto Feb 22, 17:13
no -- nm - Peglegpete Feb 22, 17:10
No way in Hell, a vote for Bernie in the primary is a vote for Trump in the general. His rabid followers are clueless -- nm - Bacon Feb 22, 17:08
heh. no. -- nm - Jovian Feb 22, 17:07
Yes. -- nm - Strongbad Feb 22, 16:59
No. But ask me again in 2 months. -- nm - zunk lake county Feb 22, 16:56
If he ran an absolutely perfect campaign in PA, VA, OH, WI, MN, IA and MI -- nm - crash davis Feb 22, 16:35
sure -- nm - mud Feb 22, 16:34
It's not that he doesn't appeal to moderates, its that the voters he does appeal to probably won't get out of the house to vote for him. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 22, 16:26
I think anything could happen but he has the lowest chance -- nm - JackDawson Feb 22, 16:23 5
- I don't think he's lowest out of the main contenders, but he's bottom three. -- nm - David Feb 22, 16:45 4
  - Who would you say is lowest? Of Pete Amy Bernie mike and Biden -- nm - JackDawson Feb 22, 16:46 3
    - In the general, Amy for sure. Bloomberg is the other one I meant, but I may like Bernie's chances more than Pete's, too. -- nm - David Feb 22, 16:53 2
      - Interesting -- nm - JackDawson Feb 22, 17:05 1
        
        How would you rank them? -- nm - David Feb 22, 17:10
I think he can, if... and this is a big IF... the progressives and the liberals and the moderates can stop attacking each other over ideology - Mr. Havens Feb 22, 16:21 6
- eh, that's a primary. I think that (mostly) washes away after. - ty97 Feb 22, 16:27 5
  - Yeah after the primary everyone is literally saying they support the nominee. -- nm - Qale Feb 22, 16:58 1
    - not *everyone* mainly -- nm - ty97 Feb 22, 17:08
  - I just remember how a segment of the Bernie Bros were NeverHillary, and I'm starting to see it pop up again with NeverBernies - Mr. Havens Feb 22, 16:36 2
    - The lesson of 2016 was to not ignore danger signs in supposed safe states - TWuG Feb 22, 16:47 1
      - 80k net votes. Subtract the Hillary voters who would not vote for Bernie, you have to make up for them. - ty97 Feb 22, 17:10
Yes, but not as easily as I would like and I’m not exactly sure he makes a good effective president. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Feb 22, 16:21 3
- Agreed, which is why he's not my choice. -- nm - Reagen Feb 22, 16:44
- oh his platform is DOA, no question. -- nm - ty97 Feb 22, 16:28
- Yeah. He won’t be able to pass what he’s campaigning on. -- nm - Dano Feb 22, 16:22
Yes. He seems somewhat similar to Trump. - Dano Feb 22, 16:20
No. The videos of him praising Russia, voting against gun bills and the amber alert bills among other things will crush him -- nm - Remlik Feb 22, 16:20
If Trump can pull it off... Anyone can become President. -- nm - VMan Feb 22, 16:18 1
- Well... Anyone sufficiently funded. -- nm - VMan Feb 22, 16:19
No. - Will Hunting Feb 22, 16:18
Yup -- nm - Krusty Feb 22, 16:16
Yes. But I don't think he can carry a Dem Senate majority - TWuG Feb 22, 16:11 1
- The most likely outcome is 50/50. It's only going to take one moderate to sink anything he wants to accomplish. -- nm - Tim Feb 22, 16:13
Yes. -- nm - Qale Feb 22, 16:07
I really think they'll smear him with commie (Donny loves any old school reference) and some jewish stuff, he's gonna take away your healthcare ins... - zeitgeist Feb 22, 16:06 1
- Death Panels! -- nm - VMan Feb 22, 16:15
Of course. But Warren would be better. -- nm - David Feb 22, 16:05 2
- She's amazing. -- nm - Tim Feb 22, 16:06 1
  - Yep. And she likes my singing. -- nm - Diva Feb 22, 16:25
Well I'm not on Twitter, so I don't have that problem others do of constantly being a baby. Of course he can win because of that army of his. -- nm - con_carne Feb 22, 16:04
Sure. I'd still rather see Rocky de la Fuente though. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Feb 22, 16:02 1
- You could be his Iowa precinct captain for 2024! -- nm - ty97 Feb 22, 16:04
Yes. -- nm - Tim Feb 22, 16:02
Yes. -- nm - Reagen Feb 22, 16:02
