Related: About this forumSanders: The Dem Nominee Must Beat Trump
Bernie just made the best case for his nomination on Rachel's' show tonight. We must beat Trump. Rachel and Chris must know what we all know. Everyone of us have seen the polls with Trump vs Bernie and seen Trump getting burned in almost everyone of them! It's not just Bernie's team that has seen those polls.
Maybe someone should drop out of the race and support the other Dem candidate. Maybe that person should NOT be Bernie!

(5,191 posts)There are a lot of states yet to vote and they should be able to do so without being told who to vote for by the corporate media and DNC.

WHY THE HELL SHOULD BERNIE STEP DOWN NOW? Based on a totally unfair fight, I'd say he's doing pretty dam well!

(1,446 posts)Add a bit of pro-pot legalization and those polls will change very quickly.
They purposely are not bring up any of these issues during the primary, honestly first because they didn't take him seriously, but then because they started salivating at the idea of him being the Democratic GE candidate.

She has won more votes than Sanders and Trump.
But thanks.

(10,164 posts)That Trump is not so very far behind Clinton despite being in a larger field should alarm her supporters. The Republican turnout has been huge, too.

(3,964 posts)In fact, Hillary Clinton is the only one who has more votes than Donald Trump. I think she has like 1 million votes than Donald Trump at the moment Last time I looked at the popular vote, Bernie was trailing Ted Cruz!

(7,697 posts)For a logical debate! Anyway, the proof is in the poll numbers. Bernie wins more independents than Hillary. They always decide Pres. elections, since I was not able to vote! (wow! that was 42 long years ago!)

(13,685 posts)That's a fact. And somewhere around 40 percent of voters are indies. And Bernie's not going to do anything stupid and make them mad. Whereas H and T both will.
