    So what do you all think of Bernie being the front-runner?  Too early to matter?  Can he continue to grow his support?  Can he beat Trump?


    It’s probably a bit early.

     I could see him peaking too early because of his age and because he lost last time.

    If Bernie is the nominee I’ll be voting 3rd party.

    I would think you're smarter than that.

    I don't think Bernie would win swing states.  Biden is probably the best hope.  I think Harris, Warren, and Bernie could win the democrat nomination but would all be crushed by Trump

    I don't know if I could vote for Bernie.  Of course I want Trump to lose, but I don't think Bernie can win.  If he's the candidate I don't think there's any way Trump loses.  

    I don't dislike Biden, but I don't see young people rallying behind him.

    So, if Sanders does end up the candidate, do you just not vote?

    I'll hold my nose and vote for Bernie.  But it would be voting for a losing cause.  I think.

    If you saw,  McConnell said this week that the election should be about socialism.  That's no accident.  Democrats should tread lightly on everything but healthcare.  They need to go full out on it,  but not Medicare for all or single payer.  People generally like their health care but hate the price.  Attack that.  It's a winner. 

    Second thing you'll notice is that Pelosi said she would make a deal on immigration.  While it's debatable that it's a real issue,  it's undeniably a political issue.  It would behoove Democrats to take that off the table.  Let trump get a moderate,  but humane victory .

    A 3rd candidate in the US is a vote for Trump.

    I read, but my question is the obvious conclusion to the decision to vote third party in the next election.

    Many of Bernie's policies are worrisome to moderates like me.  While Trump and Bernie use different words and have a completely different tact (Trump roots much in racism), Bernie and Trump have much in common on economic policy.  Their views on trade are strikingly similar.

    No, by definition it is a vote for a 3rd party candidate.

    Bernie ain’t playing. I know he’s in Michigan, hitting a few different spots today. Drawing decent crowds as well.
    I like Bernie. I feel he’s a good person and seems to be on the right side of issues for me. I voted for him in primary against Hillary and he ultimately went on to win Michigan.
    Whats Biden waiting for? Bernie’s out there campaigning hard and I like that he’s fighting hard for votes not taking things for granted.
