Bernie Campaign Affirms Billionaire's Warning That President Sanders Is Coming

Billionaire Jeff Gundlach told fellow wealthy investors late Tuesday that Sen. Bernie Sanders is the "odds-on favorite" to win the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination—and warned the senator's potential general election victory could pose a serious threat to Wall Street profits.

"Bernie is stronger than people think," Gundlach, who correctly predicted Donald Trump's defeat of Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential election, said during his annual "Just Markets" webcast.

"Bernie Sanders has just pulled even with Joe Biden in Iowa and is beating him in New Hampshire, giving Sanders a reasonable claim to being either the frontrunner or the co-frontrunner for the 2020 Democratic nomination," Current Affairs editor Nathan Robinson, a vocal supporter of the Vermont senator, wrote Wednesday.

"Bernie has struck fear into the heart of the establishment, and even more moderate commentators like Chris Cillizza have noticed that Sanders is in a very good position now," Robinson added. "Bernie Sanders also has a strong case to make that he is the most 'electable' candidate in a race against Donald Trump."

1. The Sanders campaign says they are looking at a brokered convention.

Bernie will not be nominated - he has burned too many bridges. His surrogates poisoned the well in the 2016 GE, and have no place in the next Administration.

2. I tend to agree with you on this.

Of the Democrats who voted for Hillary, and we are talking about the majority of Democrats who voted in the 2016 Democratic primary, virtually none of them want Bernie to be the nominee. If their choice were between Bernie and Warren, I think that they would lean hard toward Warren. Their positions are very similar, and given too roughly equal candidates, I believe that most of us would think that Warren would get the edge.

There is just SO much fear in the party of Sanders. If you truly believe in the validity of other candidates then support them and work for them please STOP giving digital ink to the fear of the other guy. Every one of our candidates can beat Trump if we show up to the polls PERIOD!

6. It's not fear of Sanders,

it is fear of surrogates running amok, should he be unsuccessful. No other Administration would have anything to do with them. They have nothing to lose.

4. The people who predicted Trump would win in 2016 were basically wrong. He needed Comey to rig

the whole damn election for him. Twice.

5. And...

PUTIN!

7. Bernie can't beat Trump because.......

Any Democrat needs enthusiastic support from African Americans. Only Biden has that per MSNBC survey.

Few Independents are going to vote for any national candidate who says that he is a Socialist. I can see the ads showing a Soviet prison camp for our future.

Many southern black like Biden but also respect and like Bernie so...not sure that's a thing.
