Well, if you are on the Bernie side, it helps to have a 1v1 and not 5v1 on M4A. And since Biden isn't that good of a debater, it might help.
*A lot* of young people would need to turn out to make up for the old moderate Democrats/independents/moderate Republicans Sanders would turn off.

Bernie Sanders looks electable in surveys — but it could be a mirage
New research suggests Sanders would drive swing voters to Trump — and need a youth turnout miracle to compensate.

User Banned (2 weeks): Condescending attitudes towards minorities
They already have been worth watching. They have felt like wrestling matches 🍿
Lol these minorities don't know that Bernie is way better for them then.
How about an actual scientist and not just appointing our buddies?
Bernie's biggest victory was in a state no whiter than South Carolina.

Of course I'll have to parse trough hard data, but gut feeling is that even moderates will come out for the blue guy/girl. I think we might overstate older voters and/or moderates sitting out for a progressive candidate.
Either way, there's no clearly easy path for anyone. I hope that the youth do turn out, but we are fucking stupid.
Steyer has some really good positions on climate change, and while I'd be happy to have a scientist in charge, it's a managerial position.
Hispanic (and Asian American) erasure in the media is really something.
That's easy, Republican promise 101, no new Taxes on the rich.
Watching someone to the right of Obama surge in the polls is a chilling reminder that if Republicans weren't so racist, they could easily have the majority of support. Half of these democrats would be considered right wingers in most countries
Agreed, pretty embarrassing result for Sanders. I wonder how much of this has to do with his blunting his momentum with those stupid 60 Minutes comments.
How TF do they think Bernie supporters feel when everything is framed around stoping Bernie, coming from the other campaigns and the pundits on tv? They'd rather lose to trump with their pick than have bernie be the nom.
Its really all about California. Every vote counts. Bernie being up by 250 delegates or 150 delegates simply comes down to whether or not other candidates are viable.
If its sitting at 150 or less after ST I think Biden has a real shot at it
Haven't polls fairly consistently said that almost every democrat candidate can beat Trump?
Maybe spend less time posting on ResetERA and voting for your candidate and persuading others that you come into to contact with, would help? I donno, just a thought....
he probably wouldn't have gone up in the polls everywhere else if that were the case. this is the result of pollsters famously undersampling the older AA vote + a strong debate performance from Biden
its pretty bad. just zero sense of impartiality; just constant calls of "Bernie must be stopped"
Good lord, Sanders got destroyed. I knew he was going to lose SC, but by 30 points? Ouch.
If young folks don't turn out even for Bernie, we are truly fucked. They sure as hell ain't coming out for Biden+a chunk of progressives wont either.

No
basically everyone not Sanders or Biden projects to lose the EC.
Biden and Bernie do the best. Bernie does the best in the rust belt states which are ones we really need! Why take a candidate who has a lesser of a chance to win Penn, Michigan, Minnesota? Because he has a slightly better chance to win Florida? Bernie is Taylor made to take back the rust belt.
Most likely yeah. And we were warned this would be the case, but I don't think anyone expected this big a gap.
nice.
I think this race is going to end up being Bernie, Biden, Bloomberg and Warren after ST.
I worry about Bernie in PA. I think he needs to soften his stance on the fracking ban.
But if you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao
You ain't gonna make it with anyone anyhow.
I fully expected Biden to roll this state. He put everything in SC. The fact that Bernie is the only one still viable in the state is a miracle within itself.
Yeah, margins matter. Hillary won both Texas and California in 2008 and 2016. Difference was, her wins in '08 couldn't overcome Obama's delegate advantage, whereas in 2016 it bolstered her lead against Bernie. California is huge.
If Bernie can be much more specific on how he will make a new manufactorying revolution where the workers are doing green energy and not drilling, he could have them. I really don't anticipate Biden to go all in. He's just going to go around saying TRUMP BAD for 6 months.
i did. god im so good at making baseless pessimistic predictions that just sorta happen to come true.
my next prediction is that this fucks sanders on ST. fingers crossed that my streak ends
