But it's going to be close and Trump absolutely has the incumbent advantage.

2020?

So now his task is to do as much damage as he can.

Not even for a minute.

just do the harm for fun.

Trump will easily beat him if he gets the nomination. And yes I will vote for him if he's the dem. nominee. I will work on his campaign and donate. But I don't think he can win.

If it comes down to those two, things will change. The US will not vote for someone who has ever embraced the word "socialist" in any way at all. I don't care about what is really meant by it or anything. That will destroy any chance he has.

Including our understanding of that word.

At least not where I live. People hear the word "socialist" and assume you're wanting the USSR in America. I don't see him winning Michigan.

Any "communist" tag the KGOP tries to pin on Sanders will backfire.

The Soviet Union fell and people know that. Sanders isn't going to get any independent votes and nobody can win without them.

Last I checked, Putin is a former KGB agent with designs on reviving the Evil Empire. That's Trump's bestie.

It doesn't matter who the Democratic nominee is - - he or she will beat Trump.

But I think you’re wrong.

Scares me to death.

another four years if that is the case

The US won't elect a Socialist

swing voters and Independents to vote with drumpf.

Trump crushes him in EC

...strikingly similar to how Nixon "wanted" and then got George McGovern. McGovern was a great guy but clearly too left for 1972.

I will take any of our candidates, Bernie, included over Dear Impeached Leader. However, we will be in a Nixon-McGovern situation if he's our candidate.

My opinion. Your mileage may vary.

Peace and love.

if he wins the nomination. While we are committed to vote for Democrats on DU, there is no such loyalty oath in the general public.

other than maybe Tulsi.

In 2016 the boomers blamed Trump on the millenials when they didn’t show up because the DNC torpedoed Bernie in favor of HRC.

Starting to look like in 2020 the millenials might get to lay the blame Trump 2.zero on the boomers for not being able to look past their prejudice against the word “socialism” and staying home.

Shitty thing is, we end up getting another 4 years of the orange turd.

...the difference between Bernie and trump is the greatest of differences of any two Presidential contenders in my lifetime...there will be no ambiguous choice...

...trump has moved our nation's politics and rhetoric so far to the Right that it makes Progressive Bernie look like a moderate centrist...it's not so much what we think or what the pukes think, it's what that 20% in the middle thinks of Bernie...and that 20% in the middle is much closer to Bernie than to a trump...

...Bernie can easily champion the label 'Democratic Socialist' as nothing more than embracing the policies and programs similar to our late great President, Franklin Delano Roosevelt...only people 60+ are shaken by the word 'Commie' when in reality, trump's the only one who's been rolling around in bed with Commies...

...Bernie has the great ability to connect one-on-one with the voter...in interviews, he comes across serious, thoughtful, reasonable and even-tempered...but on stage at a rally or on stage when confronted with the likes of a trump, Bernie can breathe fire, point and wag that weaponized finger and verbally slay the most ardent of foes...

...just watch, Bernie can do it...

If Sanders is the nominee I won't waste time paying attention. Fear is unfortunately too powerful and too easily spread.

After the 2018 example with Andrew Gillum I think Floridians have better grasp of how easily the socialist label attaches and dictates the outcome. South Florida Hispanics were abusing that word all day every day even though they didn't know what it meant.

...can make, "...grab 'em by the pussy..." fly, Bernie can easily handle 'socialist'...

...I honestly believe that...

Daffy knows what the American people know, and it's a message that the American people are prepared to deliver to the Great Pumpkin later this year:
