New Polling Shows Sanders, Not Clinton, Most Formidable Against Trump

Surveys have repeatedly found Bernie Sanders beating the presumptive GOP nominee by a larger margin than Hillary Clinton.

"As forces in both major parties have begun to mobilize against a Trump presidency, a new national poll out Tuesday reveals the most surefire way to derail the GOP frontrunner: Nominate Bernie Sanders.

The NBC News/SurveyMonkey Weekly Election Tracking Poll found that if the 2016 presidential election were held today, 53 to 40 percent of voters would elect Sanders over Donald Trump—which is more than double the margin that Hillary Clinton holds over the presumptive Republican nominee.

According to the survey, which was conducted online from May 2 through May 8, the former secretary of state also leads Trump, but with a far smaller margin: 49 to 44 percent, with an error estimate of plus or minus 1.3 percentage points.

Meanwhile, a separate poll found that in key presidential swing states the anointed nominees are running neck and neck."

1. The DNC blew it when they greased the skids for Hillary

9. Health care alone will cost EACH of us half a million dollars more over our lifetimes

with Hillary than with Bernie

And thats a conservative estimate, using old figures and the consumer CPI which is undoubtedly MUCH loser than health care and especially drugs CPI..

3. Ok

So I guess we should just give up and let Donald and the GOP win against Hillary Goodbye Dem party for a decade or more and lose the courts and we should just give up ?! Gimme a break Donald as President would destroy the country literally

4. Bernie can't even beat Hillary ...

... he'll lose badly against Trump once Trump starts the negative ads against him.

I mean, let's face it, who is going to vote for a guy who voted against the Amber Alert, praises Castro, promises to raise taxes, and has climate plans that virtually guarantee a massive increase in the cost of energy. Fair or not fair, just as many Bernie supporters have been sold a bill of goods about Hillary, Trump will sell a bill of goods about Bernie. If Bernie supporters are naive enough to fall for all the bullshit about Hillary, there's no doubt the American people will be naive enough to fall for all the bullshit about Bernie.

6. He trounces Trump, and she loses to Trump

Having her as the nominee is political suicide

8. Trump can't find anything to criticise about Bernie

Bernie has been consistently progressive.

Maybe that bothers the Hillarians- but its a fact. Hillary has been triangulating trying to give the people the least while capturing the most votes. bernie has just been saying what he thinks is best. Hillary is a political gamer who is putting her own campaign above the national interest. We should vote for Bernie.

11. she won't win

Maybe that was her plan all along?
