[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I will blame Hillary Clinton's supporters. Sanders would surely beat Trump in the general.

Nope. http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/politics/2016/04/polls_say_bernie_is_more_electable_than_hillary_don_t_believe_them.html[/quote]
That article is stupid and downright Bushian. It basically boils down to "don't trust the data, trust my gut because [i]I know [/i]what will happen." It's utter nonsense. I prefer to trust objective data thank you very much.[/quote]

You are delusional. This article is full of data. Here's an example:
"
Sanders’ explicit socialism would help Republicans broaden this critique into an all-out scare campaign about a government takeover. There are lots of reasons to believe such a campaign would succeed. In a national Reason-Rupe poll taken two years ago, capitalism had a net favorable rating of 55 percent to 38 percent. Socialism had a net unfavorable rating of 58 percent to 36 percent. Last year, Gallup asked Americans: “If your party nominated a generally well-qualified person for president who happened to be socialist, would you vote for that person?” Forty-seven percent of respondents said they would, but 50 percent said they wouldn’t. Every other kind of candidate tested in the Gallup poll—black, Mormon, gay, Muslim, atheist—garnered majority support, probably because the question stipulated that the candidate had already been nominated by “your party.” Only a socialist nominee was rejected. Among Democrats, a socialist was the only type of nominee who didn’t get 60 percent support."[/quote]
So you trust polls taken one or two years ago on a different question over polls on the direct question at hand taken yesterday? Talk about head in the sand. Everyone knows Sanders is a socialist.[/quote]
