2016 Postmortem
Showing Original Post only (View all)Bernie proves he is more electable with shocking new poll numbers. [View all]
If Team Clinton wants to pretend like Clinton is more electable than Bernie, they could start by showing something other than the exact opposite in the polls.

General election matchups among American voters show:
Clinton tops Trump 46 41 percent, Sanders thumps Trump 49 39 percent
Clinton ties Cruz 45 45 percent, Sanders edges Cruz 46 42 percent
Clinton trails Rubio 48 41 percent, Sanders and Rubio are tied 43 43 percent
So as of now, if the Democratic Party wants to beat the three stooges leading the GOP, they would be wise to nominate Bernie. You simply can't argue otherwise.

Just remember that Mondale polled within MoE with Reagan at this point. Then lost by 18 points.

Correct - the only exception is when Hillary is leading. Then polls matter.

I really think that's why the youth vote is buying into this. They don't remember 1984 or 1972

When he says I have a plan he tells us the plan without statements like " Experts agree my plan "
