PRESS RELEASE Sanders Strongest Candidate to Beat Trump

[Uncle Joe]

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M – Bernie Sanders continues to be the strongest candidate in the race to keep Donald Trump out of the White House, holding in recent head-to-head polls an average lead three times the size of Hillary Clinton’s over the real estate mogul.

“Democrats seeking a presidential nominee to lead their party to victory in November should take notice of the overwhelming preponderance of data demonstrating that Bernie Sanders is the strongest Democratic candidate to defeat Donald Trump,” according to analysis by Sanders’ pollster Ben Tulchin.

Some of Sanders’ strength over Trump comes from the Vermont senator’s large support from young Americans and independents, both critical voting blocs for Democrats in a general election.

But another important reason for his large leads over the Republican nominee is Sanders’ popularity among voters. “This positive profile stands in stark contrast to both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, who are both deeply unpopular,” Tulchin writes in a new memo released by the campaign. “Clinton’s favorables are 31 percent to 52 percent unfavorable while Trump is slightly more unpopular.”

The result is that Sanders polls stronger than Clinton in key battleground states like Ohio, Florida and Pennsylvania. “Sanders leads Trump by wider margins than Clinton in all of the public polling that has been conducted in swing states over the past few months,” the memo finds.

Robert Gates: I question Hillary Clinton's judgment on email server[/b




CNN)Former Defense Secretary Bob Gates told Yahoo News' Katie Couric on Thursday that he questions Hillary Clinton's judgment in using a private email server while serving as secretary of state.

"There are obviously a lot of questions about her judgment and her policy positions subsequent to when I left" the cabinet, he said. "There's the whole email thing, which I think is really a concern in terms of her judgment."

Pressed on the matter, Gates added, "I don't know what originally prompted her to think that was a good idea."

"I never used email for official business, either as CIA director or secretary of defense," he continued. "... And so using an offline server, I think, was an error in judgment."
