NBC News entrance polls of Democrats on Medicare for All: 57-38% support in Iowa, 58-37% support in New Hampshire, 62-35% support in Nevada.

Maybe the candidates who staked their primary campaigns on opposing Medicare for All miscalculated.

I can’t think of a better way to get Trump re-elected than to have Bernie be the D nominee.  

I'm really not sure either way. Trump will use the exact same strategy whether his opponent is Biden, Sanders, Warren, Buttigleg, Smiling Amy, Shaquille O'Neal, or Donald Duck:

1. Lie. Boast. State half-truths. Act cocky and confident.

2. Insult your opponent--as crudely and childishly as possible.

3. Misrepresent your opponent's position--as brazenly as possible.

4. Continually deflect the discussion away from the issues.

5. Attack, attack, attack. Put your opponent on the defensive so you don't have to defend yourself.

6. Lie some more.

Who would be best against this strategy? I honestly don't know. The only thing I do know is that the Biden and Smiling Amy approach would utterly fail. Trump's a balls-kicker and eye-gouger. You can't treat him--or any Republican, with the exception of Mitt Romney--as if he was going to act decently or play by the rules. He won't. He's a total asshole and a cheat to boot and acting as if he ever intends to be anything else is foolhardy. Biden and Amy think we can all "come together." Yeah, right--if we're all wielding baseball bats, maybe.

So maybe we should just go all in. Hit Trump and conservative dogma with a candidate and a philosophy that are diametrically opposed to them. One thing I would really want to know, anyway--just what percentage of the American people actually do want to see "radical" change (you know, radical, like electing a professional con man who is utterly unqualified for the job)? We might get a BIG surprise if Angry Grandpa, er, Bernie is the challenger.

Ha Ha Ha - the lying rhetoric never stops. 3+ years and continuing. Take your meds, liar and STFU - everyone with a brain is tired of your filth and lies.

Here'e the bottom line.    There are NO Hillary supporters from the last election that are now willing to vote for Trump.  There are lots (and I mean LOTS) of Trump supporters from the last election that are nowyearning to vote for somebody else who has a more unifying tone and agenda.    

Thats not Bernie.    So if you are a Sanders supporter you have to hope he gets enough young people to the polls (historically much easier said than done)  and hope he doesn't scare off alot of moderates (he already has).

My opinion:  any moderate candidate wins this election in a landslide.    If its a race between the two extremes of both parties then its a toss up.    I dont want a toss up.   I want a landslide.

 There are millions of former Hillary voters who have come to their senses and are now staunch Trump supporters. They have seen the error of their ways and will make the November election a landslide for President Trump. I personally know many of them. 

Anyone who is a "staunch Trump supporter" is sick in the head. We saw a LOT of defections in 2018, when congressional candidates, state governors, and others running for elected office who were heavily touted by Trump nonetheless lost. That happened even in dead-red states.

There are tens of millions of Trump 2016 voters who have been bowing their heads in shame, and feel a pang of conscience every time they read about Trump's latest crime. Those folks might not vote for Bernie or whomever in November, but they sure as hell won't vote for Trump.

And then, of course, there are the diehard sickos aka "the base," but their numbers have been steadily shrinking as they become dimly aware that Trump has been selling them snake oil.

Stalker and his buddies might never reach that level of awareness--but sooner rather than later, they will fade into irrelevance.

More lies from the liar. It never ends....

Perfect!
