Sanders' Electability Pitch Has a Problem. Trails Biden in key match ups against Trump

[DemocratSinceBirth]

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) is less popular among registered voters than the former VP in 8 key 2020 states, including Arizona, Florida, Pennsylvania and North Carolina.

Unlike the lesser-known top contenders in the race, opinions about Sanders are already well-formed, giving him less room to increase his appeal to voters.

But he has a big thing going for him: In many key battleground states, voters who dislike President Donald Trump outnumber those who support him.

The upside:

“I would much rather be in Warren or Harris or Mayor Pete’s shoes than in Bernie Sanders’ right now, because he does not have a lot of room to grow and seems pretty stuck in place,” said Mo Elleithee, a former spokesman for Hillary Clinton and the Democratic National Committee who currently serves as the executive director of Georgetown University’s Institute of Politics and Public Service.

1. Now that people are actually getting to see the candidates and how rational they are....

....I think BS is going to lose some of the support he's had. There are so many good, personable candidates out there this time around.

3. Bernie's not going anywhere

I don’t think he has a real chance to win the nomination but that’s not going to stop him. Look I love the guy but he needs to know his role. Just my two cents

4. "...needs to know his role"

Therein lies the problem.

If he was there to represent ideas and move the center of the party the left, I could live with it. But he has an unreasonable savior complex that is not healthy.
