There have been multiple polls posted in this thread fam. It's a surge.
Oh no, I guess this means Biden might actually have to debate his policies for once instead of riding on this electability nonsense.
Many times. A lot, actually. Most recently at the last debate where CNN was being outright biased against him, per usual.
What's the term for all the woman of color supporters he has?
I do not live in the US but I would love to see what a Bernie Sanders presidency would be like.

During 2016 Bernie also had a "phantom effect" in the polls. Generally in some states, he would either be 5-10% higher than what polls were showing. But on the flip side, on bigger states like New York, Florida, or Penn, he would have a reduction. So he is really hard to poll.
Lmaobest case: very similar to the Barack Obama presidency
worst case: very similar to the Jimmy Carter presidency
Ain't no "focusing on polls I like" gonna do anything other than tell you the naked truth: Bernie surging going into Iowa is the exact right time for him to take over and dominate the landscape.It's a surge?! If all you do is focus on the polls with results you like and ignore the ones with info you don't like I can see you having that conclusion. However, looking at polling aggregators like 538 doesn't really show a surge.

I think Bernie would perform better in general election debates, and he seems to have more voter enthusiasm - and if anybody can increase young potential voter turnout, it would be him. But I do worry that he's never had to face the full brunt of the "media storm" from Republicans and their media arm, including but not limited to Fox News. I fully expect, were he to be the nominee, a 24x7 stream of "Socialist/communist/Venezuela/Soviet Union/breadlines/economic disaster!" from the Fox talking heads and right-wing op-eds and alt-right blogs.
Not saying we should make our candidate choice based on "What will Republicans do." I just don't expect Bernie to face any less harsh Republican attacks, even absent the whole ginned up Ukraine issue.
"these people are too good at being online, get rid of them before the very online general election"Not for nothing, but the "toxic" Bernie bros people are complaining about in the primary will likely be an asset squaring up against the Republican general election smear machine.
Yep, bernies greatest asset is his standing army of postersNot for nothing, but the "toxic" Bernie bros people are complaining about in the primary will likely be an asset squaring up against the Republican general election smear machine.
I would love if that happened and Bernie/Dem still had the debate happen and then would answer questions then stare at blank space for a rebuttal from the republican.I would be shocked if Trump agrees to any debates, with anyone.
best case: very similar to the Barack Obama presidency

or make Biden his VP and Warren his Treasury Secretary.Generally good. I hope he wins the nom and he chooses Warren as his vp candidate. So I can watch one of my Bernie broish friends melt down.
538 still has Biden leading, but this post is a monument of misunderstanding.As usual all the polls are nothing more than Ducktales...I mean... How's Hillary's presidency going?... Oh right...
Biden is going to win the nomination.
Oh I'm not saying there would be zero differences, just the body of it would be fairly similar. I would expect foreign policy to be a major flashpoint where the two presidents diverged, but don't forget that Obama sold himself as more liberal on foreign policy than he ended up being. I could easily see that happening with Sanders.This may be true of domestic policy, although I'm not convinced. On foreign policy Sanders presidency looks nothing like an Obama one. We'd see, maybe from day one, a drastic reduction in drone strikes and the deaths of innocents. I'd expect Bernie to reevaluate our relationship with Saudi Arabia almost immediately as well. Perhaps our relationship with the Netanyahu government in Israel.
You won't be able to get those plans through Republican obstructionism either. The senate needs to be taken back either way

I could probably hook you up on redbubble.If I can get this as a removable car decal, it would be on my back window.
Epstein joke i'm assuming
I think there was a story about how the Sanders team was looking into if someone Warren could server as VP and Treasury Sec at the same time.Eh, Warren could still be VP or a part of his cabinet. Hillary basically called Obama the n-word and she got a job.
If I see anyone using the term "Berne bro" I completely refuse to take them seriously especially from people on this site who obviously still stan for Hillary Clinton. YAS QUEEN am I right?!
Bernie has the moderates shook with his numbers. In particular the community thread has been getting angsty lately.
