Some on the far left might argue the establishments hate for Bernie is so strong they would rather Trump than Bernie.
This is not the position of "the establishment", this is the position of the majority of Americans. There aren't many things more establishment than the communist policies Bernie is pushing. You like to cry that this designation is unfair, but the man honeymooned in the USSR, and literally just praised the communist revolution in Cuba AGAIN. I assure you that just lost him AT LEAST Florida, which has a massive Cuban refugee population. Characterizing him as a communist is quite fair.
Bernie had his chance in 2016, and being the jellyfish he is, he bent over and submitted to Killery and took the absolute corrupt ass fucking he got down on his knees without so much as a peep of an objection. People are going to remember that come November. Also most Americans realize the policies he is advocating for are insane, unattainable, and will bankrupt the nation. Short of Trump starting a nuclear war, nothing is going to stop him from getting another 4 years. You keep dreaming.
He praised a literacy program. Are you anti-literacy? Florida might just be.
I love this talking point! If only elections and voters worked like this. You would think that after all the years and after 2016 the MSM would finally understand that the "lanes" theory doesn't work. Everyone kept saying the moderate gop candidates should drop out to coalesce around 1 candidate to beat trump. What happened was when those morons dropped out Trump scooped up a big enough part of them to crush even more! Voters are not ideologically locked into one lane, look at Bidens polls, consistently the second choice of Biden supporters is Bernie. Lanes aren't real except for in the talking head class!
Unfortunately, the DNC convention does work this way. This is why they won't drop out. If they dropped out now, Bernie would win by even more but if they all stay in, they can keep him under 50% and pool delegates against him at the convention. No single candidate has a chance to beat him but together they all can beat him and would preserve a chance for any of them to be the nominee on the 2nd ballot.
Biden soaks up delegates in the south, Amy wins Minnesota, Warren soaks up delegates on the coasts, Pete soaks up delegates in the midwest and Bloomberg buys up delegates everywhere else. Bernie isn't going to finish less than 2nd anywhere so everyone who is competing in a single state will stay in through the convention. O
You misquoted me here, think you meant to quote Flying Hellfish. But I'll respond anyway.
That's the goal right now, try to keep Bernie under 50 percent -- and that's not going to be easy in the least. If Bernie continues to win states, the momentum is going to go his way and the voters are going to begin to see him as more and more electable as this process goes on.
As I've said time and time again, it is now Bernie vs 50 percent -- but if he continues to win every single state he'll probably beat that. If the rest of them keep the delegate count close, this'll get interesting come time for the convention in Milwaukee.
