21. Bernie would destroy Trump, Cruz or Kasich in the GE.

With Kasich he would bash him over the head on "Women's Rights" and "Labor" so continually Kasich wouldn't have a chance to get up. Sanders can bomb the airwaves with how Kasich is a giant fraud, just laying out the record. You know what they say about the spotlight when it comes on? The cockroaches scatter and sunlight is the most powerful disinfectant.

Cruz is a trainwreck in so many things...vehemently Anti-Gay, Anti-Choice, Anti-anyone who's not Christian(probably like 99% of the Muslim community would go for Sanders as well as the Sikh's since Ted is so stupid he would probably call them Muslims too), Pro-War(he advocated cluster-bombing ffs), likely Pro-Israel since he's a right-wing Evangelical.

With Trump it's not difficult, he just asserts the positions Trumps already has with a STRONG message of inclusion rather than exclusion. I think his ardent opposition to TPP, NAFTA and the TTIP will endear him to some of those Blue Collars who thought they would be on board with Trump. Legalizing Pot and pushing hard on Green Jobs as an investment in mucho infrastructure talking about well-paying jobs will help again.

I forgot to add there is no way they can really get him over gun rights either when you look at his record. This will help him tremendously among pro-gun rights people across the spectrum, Republican and Democrat. I mean we've been waiting for someone who can GET real gun control done and come across as sensible to the Pro-Gun people.
