Democratic Primaries
In reply to the discussion: DU Poll: Bloomberg or Sanders? [View all]thesquanderer
(12,000 posts)Actually, you need to ask, which of these 2 candidates would appeal to the greatest number of eligible voters who won't be voting for Trump. My point is, I imagine that most eligible Republican voters would prefer Bloomberg to Sanders... but that doesn't matter if they're going to vote for Trump anyway. Of the remaining pool, I'm not sure who appeals to more voters. Though I would say that, outside the Dem base who will vote for anyone over Trump, Bloomberg and Sanders will largely appeal to different voters. I'm just not sure which group is bigger. Or in what states they are.
If it comes down to the rust belt states again, who do you think has more working class appeal... Bernie or Mike? (Keep in mind that Mike says he will put his financial resources behind the Dem campaign whether he's the nominee or not.)
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
