Any attack on Bernie pales when compared to the *1000s* of attacks that will be levied at Trump

FOR EXAMPLE:



Has there ever been a candidate more ripe for attack than the putrid Donald Trump? Like shooting fish in a barrel. If there ever was a campaign manager's nightmare, Trump is it.

The reason they are dying to run against him is probably that the attacks on him will NOT pale when compared to those on Filthy Donnie.

5. Poll: Trump edges out all top 2020 Democratic candidates except Sanders (THE HILL)

Feb 2020

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) is the only Democratic presidential contender to beat President Trump in a head-to-head match-up, according to a new Emerson College poll released Wednesday.

Sanders edges out Trump by a 51 percent-49 percent margin in the poll. Meanwhile, Trump leads former South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg, Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) and former New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg by 2 points. All those margins are within the poll’s margin of error of 2.7 percentage points.

Trump also leads former Vice President Joe Biden 52 percent-48 percent, an advantage outside the poll’s margin of error.

Support in the head-to-heads is sharply split along gender lines. Trump leads all five Democratic contenders by double digits among men, while every Democrat leads the president by double digits among women, except Biden, who has an 8-point edge.

The poll shows Trump with an above-water approval rating, with 48 percent of registered voters approving of the job he’s doing and 44 percent disapproving. His disapproval rate is the lowest it’s ever been in the Emerson College poll.
