Bernie Is The ONLY Candidate That Would Soundly Defeat Trump In General Election

Both Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders saw their poll numbers jump after the Democratic debate, with Hillary’s numbers going even higher. But in a potential matchup between the Republican frontrunner, Bernie holds a significant advantage.

Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses what these polls mean for the election with journalist H.A. Goodman.

What would be surprising would be if M$M gave it the coverage it deserved,
that an 'underdog' in the Democratic primary was running way stronger against
the GOP front-runner, than the Dem's 'presumptive inevitable' front-runner.

but in a contest between Trump and Hillary, I'd be hard pressed, in some areas, to predict who might have a policy I'd prefer. They have both been unpredicatable but for different reasons. Like, which one of them would be nicer to the banks, insurance companies, drug companies, military, and education conglomerates?

Well I say lets vote and see who wins the nomination... I don't think it will be Trump. Too early to say who will win or not.
