In reply to the discussion: In New Shock Poll, Bernie Sanders Has LANDSLIDES Over BOTH Trump and Bush [View all]floriduck
(2,262 posts)2. I tried to make this point yesterday but
one of Hill's fans had my post deleted because they thought I said I'd take Trump over Hill. My point was and is that she is NOT electable, contrary to her followers.
I said I was voting for Bernie, even in the GE, because he is the only one that represents my interests. And if Hill beats him in the primary, she may well lose to a GOPer. Polls mean very little because they only represent Dem voters. But Bernie will get cross-over votes. That is why he is the BEST matchup against any Republican.

I support Bernie but it is ludicrous to think Bernie will receive more cross-overs than Hillary

I see many comments from right wingers on other MBs that they RESPECT Bernie as being honest!...

I completely disagree with your assessment. Look at every red state poll for proof.

And you think the theory of more repubs voting for Bernie is based on reality?

Wrong, Hillary has practically ZERO crossover appeal. Bernie has intense support from disillusioned

they've been so obsessed with policing the party line on DU since 2001 that they've forgotten

I am not sure why it is shocking (not sure if the title is from the Hill or Brent Budowski)

Nevertheless, I expect many HRC supporters will still insist she's more electable (n/t)

Should Sanders ever have the GOP's big guns turned on him, his electability will

Except that Bernie's points take explaining and the GOP hit pieces can be done in sound bites

What we're seeing here is that the GOP is not a factor in the 2016 election

I've been saying it, too, but some people need the GOP to be a factor to sell their candidate.

It's still early, but Bush is looking more and more irrelevant with each debate.
