I think Sanders takes Iowa and NH. Biden takes SC.

Bloomberg capitalizes on the confusion and people who are afraid that Sanders may be gaining steam, drop their support of Biden and throw it to Bloomberg who seems so enegetic and coherent compared to Biden.

I think Bloomberg vs. Sanders becomes a huge clash ... with a lot of fallout. Bloomberg takes the nomination, but will the dejected Bernie supporters get onboard? I fear they will not.

Nope, that is on you. Either vote for a crazy lefty of vote for Trump. Personally, I would vote for a steaming pile of dog excrement over Trump. At least that can serve as fertilizer and be useful

I’m going with this poll being trash.

Based on what? No poll has shown that more than 45% of Americans want Trump to be president again.

I’m more weird with the way different D candidates stack up relatively then I am about Trump’s relatively stable numbers here. I’m guessing there’s sample size issues, sampling bias, and questions that are ordered/designed to prompt a particular response. Bloomberg’s popularity is the reddest flag, IMO.

Here’s the whole thing if you want to take a look.
https://cdn.cnn.com/cnn/2020/images/01/22/rel1b.-.2020.pdf

Also buried in here - CNN asked if Democrats would feel enthusiastic-or-satisfied, vs. dissatisfied-or-upset, if a candidate won the nomination.

Biden: 72% vs 26% (upset: 9%)
Sanders: 77% vs 23% (upset: 10%)
Warren: 72% vs 24% (upset: 7%)

Seems as if the Dems aren't in as much disarray as they seem.

Biden, Sanders, or Warren. Any one of these three guarantees a Trump victory in Nov. Come on Dems, nominate someone that isn’t either senile or way off the left deep end. Give us swing voters someone to get behind. I am not voting for Trump, but won’t vote for one of those three either.

That’s voting for Trump.

No, actually it isn’t, but nice try.

How many times do we have to go over this? Your choice is Trump or the Democrat. If you do not vote for the Democrat, you are voting for Trump.

Actually it doesn’t work that way skippy, but nice try.

DP, not literally, but effectively, you are.

Completely - you vote D or you are voting Trump. Why you wouldn’t support any of the Democrats over Trump baffles me.

Stop the moralizing bad math! If someone stays home, they clearly don’t add to the Democrats’ totals. But they also don’t add to Trump’s totals, which actually requires voting.

Those of you who are so sure almost any Democrat is better than Trump need to support the Democrat who moves the most new people in swing states and I. areas outside of the Democrats’ high-income enclaves to vote for the Democrats. And that includes the possibility that it’s a candidate, like Sanders or Gabbard, that upsets many perennial knee-jerk Democrats.

GOOD GRIEF is this your source of confusion? We’re talking about the general, not the primary. Vote your conscience in the primary, vote blue in November because your choice then is binary: Blue or Trump.

Polls for Iowa are weird because its difficult to reliably predict who will show up for the caucus. This is how Obama was able to win Iowa, even though Clinton was the favorite in the polls: Obama had a lot of enthusiasm on the ground with people who were motivated to attend their caucus.

I am expecting a Sanders win in Iowa, given the ferocity of his base. However, I think Sanders collapses in South Carolina and on Super Tuesday.

If Sanders manages to secure the nomination, he will have alienated so many Democrats that he will have a hard time securing some Democratic votes in a general election. Watch for Bloomberg to run as an Independent in that scenario.
