Bernie Sanders Says He Can Do Better Against Donald Trump Than Hillary Clinton

Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders says he would do better against Donald Trump in a general election than Hillary Clinton.

“I believe that our campaign is generating the kind of grassroots excitement that will result in a high voter turnout," the Vermont senator told ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos on “Good Morning America” today. "Democrats need a high voter turnout to win. I think we can do that."

Sanders pointed to a recent Quinnipiac University poll that showed Clinton leading Trump by 7 percentage points nationally, 47 vs. 40 percent. But in the same poll, Sanders leads by a broader 13 points, 51 vs. 38 percent.

When asked whether he would win the Iowa caucuses, he said, "I think we’ve got a real good shot at it."

Bernie's messages resonate with the people.
While Trump is busy calling all of the other candidates names, Bernie is proposing real world solutions to major problems that are affecting us.
Trump is a farce.
He has become a caricature of some type of lame fire-breathing imaginary populist that he has rolling around in his head.
