Sanders -- who enjoys the most positive favorable rating of any presidential candidate in the field, according to the poll -- tops all three Republicans by wide margins: 57% to 40% against Cruz, 55% to 43% against Trump, and 53% to 45% against Rubio. Sanders fares better than Clinton in each match-up among men, younger voters and independents

8. Independents

I wonder if people realize that there are more Independents than there are either Democrats or Republicans.
And those Independents are more into Bernie. You can win a large percentage of a smaller group, but that won't beat a possible smaller percentage of a larger group. It's the math, stupid!

4. Neither Rubio nor Cruz has a prayer at winning the GOP nomination

so those match-ups are largely academic. Even if they did somehow thwart Trump and win, though, what they benefit from at the moment is being viewed as "not as bad". Once they are on their own and defending their own records and beliefs, the voters will see that their stances are really no different than Trump, and the only place the ever did differ was in the use of profanity to deliver their message. This is esp true for Cruz, who in many ways is far, far worse than the Donald on many issues.

There's also the fact that their candidates are only winning their primaries with 1/4th to 1/3rd of the GOP electorate.

Cliffsnotes; any Democrat beats any Republican this year.

5. He should win big today, then.

9. You know better than that

Today is just Democrats who make up just 35% of the electorate. When EVERYONE has a choice, her chances decreases significantly. Imagine what is happening with Trump. Not many outside the party can stand him.

6. Just heard Cenk go over this. . . . . .

WOW, it is stark. There is no question that against the GOP, Sanders beats every one of them and by big margins, whereas IF Hillary beats them it is a squeaker.

So I'm sure all of those people who keep citing "electability" will be starting to push their most electable candidate -- Bernie Sanders! Right? (I wouldn't hold your breath)

10. They are wrong because Bernie won't get the nomination

So Hillary is the Dem's best chance to win in November. Since Bernie won't be on the ballot.
