"Certainly Sanders' Moment": Poll Shows Bernie Beating All GOP Hopefuls

[Lorien]

Hillary Clinton merely ties—or in some cases, trails—leading Republicans


A day after a poll showed Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton to be in a dead heat nationwide, survey responses revealed that U.S. voters back Sanders over Republican candidates by margins of 4 to 10 percentage points in head-to-head presidential contests.

On the other hand, the Quinnipiac University national poll found that Clinton merely ties—or in some cases, trails—leading Republicans in the November 2016 election.

When matched against GOP frontrunner Donald Trump, Sanders comes out on top, 48 to 42 percent. Clinton's margin against Trump is a much slimmer 44-43 percent.

"It's certainly Sen. Bernie Sanders' moment," said Tim Malloy, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Poll. "The Vermont firebrand leads all potential GOP rivals in raw numbers and raw emotion with the best scores for favorability and several key character traits."

1. Democrats should seriously be careful. Don't follow the leader straight off a cliff

2. I like this excerpt

"I don't get it. I don't think anyone expected this race to look like this," one former Clinton aide who maintains ties with the campaign told The Hill. "A big loss in New Hampshire, basically a tie going into Nevada. You have to ask yourself, 'What’s next?'"

The Hill reported: "Team Clinton maintains confidence that its lead in South Carolina will hold, but the potential loss in Nevada has put people on edge about a possible 'domino effect' in which states could fall one by one to Sanders as the Vermont Independent gains momentum."

Wouldn't it be funny if this 'domino effect' happened against Kissinger's protege considering Kissinger always talked about the "domino theory" in Viet Nam. lol

3. Bernie Sanders is a GOP hopeful

Why do you think there are groups that call themselves Republicans for Bernie.

4. Those are the Republicans that would be voting Democratic consistently

if the entire Party were the Party of FDR and not the "New Democratic" Party.

Those specific Republicans believe that the Democratic Party is owned by Wall Street and Bernie isn't.

They are not wrong for the most part unfortunately.

A Bernie Sanders appointed Party Chair could BEGIN the very long and difficult task of reforming the Democratic Party.

There's a reason the Democrats controlled Congress for decades. And, there's a reason they lost control and can't seem to regain it for very long.
