Bernie on a roll? Don't be so certain. He grossly under-performed in the Iowa and New Hampshire primaries. In fact, in NH, he barely eked out a victory against an unknown, small town mayor. So, while he may leading in the Idiot Democrat primaries, he is not a popular candidate. In fact, the turnout among young people was down from 2016. The Idiot Dems will need to do something to have someone else get the nomination to even have a ghost of a chance in November.
This is not a big enough lead for this Idiot Democrat ticket. As I've shown before, Republicans generally close the gaps and perhaps pull ahead in the final weeks prior to elections. In addition, Idiot Dems now need to have double digit national poll leads in order to win due to the concentration of Idiot Dem votes in Metro areas of the country.
In fact, in 2016 Trump received 46.1% of the popular vote and Crooked Hillary received 48.2%, yet Trump won. ---Looking good!
Yep. My view is that the Comrade has been and is on a roll to reach his upside on the bollinger band but it is much more difficult to go above that. So yes, those who need to see a Bernie surge can see that. We saw one with Joe and one with Poky and with BootyBoy too didn't we? And a mini-surge with Klobo too and bump for Kamala at one point. Bloomy is the flavor of the month. Wait til viewers get to see that dud on stage if he does not chicken out because his advisers are telling him it is risky to have voters see him live rather than his ads on TV. He may find that his numbers don't always go in just one direction too.
Politics aside, a candidate needs some swagger, some charisma to attract votes. Bloomberg’s main attraction is he signs my check. I think your hitting the nail on the head when you say “wait til viewers get to see”..... his ads are much bigger than he is in real life - no pun intended. He would be better off skipping the debates, but eventually the dodge would catch him.
The election is over unless Sanders in the nominee, then it's game on because Sanders may actually win, and that is what terrifies the DNC more than anything else. A Sanders victory means they hold the House for sure and may take the Senate. That happens and they have a real dilemma. Try and throttle back his lunatic polices and the unwashed mob will riot, literally. They want their free ride and will settle for nothing less. Pass legislation enacting his goofy polices, the country goes belly up and right quick. They are then stuck with that reality around their collective necks, and 2024 has them booted out of the oval, house and senate for the next generation or two.
before I read your post... I had not even consider the idea that Sanders could win the Presidency and he would have useful down ballot strength. I was just not prepared to think there were that many americans who would vote for a socialist/commie and / or vote anti trump. I realize now... I was wrong to not consider that scenario.
