Bernie Sanders. Trump, hosting a rally in South Carolina on Friday night, asked his crowd to help him pick the recipient of GOP votes in the “open” primary. “I assume this is okay from a campaign finance standpoint,” Trump joked before carrying out his “poll” on the eve of the primary election. He asked audience members to cheer for the Democrat they’d prefer be his easiest-to-beat opponent — Sanders or former Vice President Joe Biden. “I think maybe Crazy Bernie has it,” Trump said. Asking one more time for his supporters to cheer for either former vice president Biden or Sanders, Trump confirmed: “They think Bernie’s easier to beat.” Sanders, a self-declared socialist, emerged as the front-runner after popular-vote wins in Iowa, New Hampshire, and Nevada. His potential nomination terrifies many Democrats, who fear a Trump landslide. Biden leads Sanders in South Carolina polls ahead of Saturday voting, but Republicans could swing the outcome and give Sanders momentum ahead of the 14-state Super Tuesday contests next week. “Really, we’re down to two candidates, right? Sleepy Joe Biden and Crazy Bernie,” Trump said. https://nypost.com/2020/02/28/trump-urges-south-carolina-republicans-to-vote-for-bernie-sanders/

Traditio's commie pinko boyfriend just lost BIGLY. Buh Bye comrade.

Countdown to Super Tuesday. Typically yields one or two and the rest drop out.

I'm hoping for a Bernie/Biden tie - the longer they're bashing each other, the better.

Pete just dropped out. Where will his vote go to?

 

[ok doser]

Pete just dropped out. here will his vote go to?

I don't know the process - I don't think he gets a say. Maybe they're split up among the front runners

I don't think Pete voters would go to Bernie. They are more likely to go to Biden.

 

[ok doser]

OK, I see what you mean. I was talking about delegates and Pete didn't have any.

You're talking about his supporters

My bet's on Creepy Uncle Joe

 

[Idolater]

So who's still in contention now? Sleepy Joe, Crazy Bernie, Pocahontas, and Mini Mike Bloomberg? Everybody else done, or is Klobe still toughing it out?

 

[Traditio]

I don't think Pete voters would go to Bernie. They are more likely to go to Biden.

One poll I saw showed Pete's voters basically evenly split up among the other candidates. Sanders is getting something like 21% of Buttigieg's voters. Biden and Warren are each getting something like 19%.

The fact is that voters aren't necessarily the best informed or the most reasonable people. So even though Buttigieg and Sanders weren't in the same ideological "lane," Sanders still stands to benefit the most from Pete Buttigieg dropping.

The same holds true if Biden were to drop. The most common number 2 choice for Biden voters is Bernie Sanders.

One day to go! :banana:

Real Clear Politics is projecting Sanders hugely over Biden, except in a couple of minor states

Strategically, the best outcome for Trump would be a weak Sanders win that divides the Democrats

Either way, a Sanders candidacy energizes the Republican base more than a Biden candidacy

Do Republicans really not know how to read polling data?

Is that a requirement for being a Republican?

If you go by the polling data, Sanders is Donald Trump's worst nightmare.

 

[Traditio]

I've said it before and I'll say it again:

The sole reason Donald Trump is president is because he got former 2 times Obama voters in the Rust Belt to vote for him.

He is president because he told former coal miners and factory workers that he'd bring their jobs back.

You think those people are going to vote for him over Bernie Sanders?

You're completely delusional if you think that.
