Bernie Sanders
Related: About this forumYuge!: Sanders Leading Trump in a Deep South State
Sanders defeats Trump by 5 points in a new Georgia poll (compared to a 4 point Trump lead over HRC).
Other recent polls show...
Sanders defeating Trump by 18 points in North Carolina (compared to a 9 point HRC lead).
Sanders defeating Trump by 21 points in New Hampshire (compared to a 5 point HRC lead).
Sanders defeating Trump by 11 points nationwide (compared to a 6 point HRC lead).
AND REMEMBER THIS - The more people get to know Bernie, the more they like him. He grows on people exponentially with each appearance before them. Despite republican attacks, it would not be surprising to see an upward trajectory in his General Election poll numbers, similar to what happened in the Dem. primaries when the Sanders campaign was under extreme attacks, swiftboat-style and otherwise. For example look at the flurry of wins he is receiving as the democratic campaign winds to a close.
Let's not forget Bernie's support among independents. From a recent NBC news poll:
If I'm not mistaken, neither candidate is going to the convention with enough votes to win on the first ballot.
As I understand it, the rules will supposedly be that it then goes to a second ballot where the delegates will get to choose the most viable candidate for the fall.
Recent state polls more than hint at a potential utter landslide for a President-Elect Sanders.

Hopefully many eyes have been opened to what is possible now.
