in a way.

But sanders is tied for delegates at this instant and got more votes.

The big losers in iowa are warren and klobuchar.

Warren stopped south carolina and nevada media buys. Money is drying up.
If she cant be top two in neighbor nh, she will quit.
Then bernie wins north and west.

Klobuchar is walking dead.
Just stop.

my primary is open. I’m definitely voting for a Dem to cause havoc but I’m not sure who yet. Hugh Hewitt says to vote for Bernie.

What a totally adult and informed response.

If SC is dumb enough to have an open primary then the democrats fricking deserve to have every single republican in that state show up to vote for Bernie in the primary.


I want an admitted socialist to be the face of that lowlife party so bad.

To be clear, this is not them planning to vote Bernie in November. This is them voting for Bernie in the Dem primary to get the weakest matchup possible to help Trump in November.



Which is absurd considering what everyone thought about Trump this time 4 years ago.

Be careful what you wish for.

Biden being the nominee seals the deal for Trump.

Bernie is the dark horse candidate who could pull what Trump did 3 years ago and that is frightening.

I just don’t understand this strategy; Warren and Pete would both be far easier matchups for trump. I get wanting to prop up an unelectable candidate, but Bernie is the wrong horse to pick.

You think Sanders is weaker than Biden or Bloomberg?

Bern is unelectable in a general election.

Hell, even the Dems know this.

They're both far more un-electable. They're like male Hillary's.

Sanders is a FAR tougher opponent.

He is a fanatic.

The other candidates have zero charisma.

To be fair he doesn't either.

He just has other positive personality traits to make up for it.

NOT a good idea.

If Bernie is the nominee the stupid sheep Democrats will vote for him.

If Bernie is NOT the nominee. The Berniebots will pitch a fit. They will refuse to vote, or vote third party in protest.

No, we want Bernie to get screwed bad. Split their party right down the middle.

If I'm following you correctly, I'd say it's a matter of widdling it down to electability in those states that will likely make or break the candidate's effort: Rust Belt, Florida, North Carolina, Colorado, etc.

I see Bernie sucking hind teet in comparison to the other two in those areas. But then again, nothing much would surprise me these days.

I have to politely disagree with you. Sanders scares the hell out of the dem establishment. Hillary and Obama going after him publicly is all you need to know. Bernie only appeals to the far left wing. If Bernie wins the primary there will be lot of crossover votes from the dem party.

Biden is the only candidate that can prevent the crossover vote from happening.

It is so obvious that if the SC Republicans wanted to sow chaos, they would vote for Biden.

Prop up the crappiest candidate.
