Bloomberg: Bernie Sanders would beat Donald Trump by 24 points

It is time for the mainstream media to stop claiming that Hillary Clinton is the “strongest Democrat” to face the Republicans in November.

She never was. That was always corporate spin. But after this poll was released by Bloomberg Politics, it should be clear Bernie Sanders is equally capable of taking on Donald Trump this November.

According to this match up, he would knock Trump out of the park by a staggering 24 points.

Spectating this primary contest from across the Atlantic in the United Kingdom, it would be horrifying to see the American people have to choose between the two least favourable and least trustworthy candidates in the entire process. Stop punishing yourselves. You deserve better.
