We will not survive four more years of him.

We may not have a choice. If Bernie is the voters favorite and the party pulls the rug out from under him we might very well get four more years of him. If Bernie gets the nomination and the blue no matter who crowd rejects him we might get four more years of him.
If Republicans and JGW are right and Bernie can not beat Trump because he's a socialist...we will get four more years of him.

I think Bernie's gonna win the nomination handily and just as handily defeat Trump in November. So the next question is...

Will we survive four years of Bernie Sanders? Will Bernie Sanders survive four more years? Will any of us survive four more years...?

Well stated perotista. I could not have phrased that better myself if I had tried.

I don’t post much here anymore as I feel I have already stated pretty much what I believe. And how I view the world. But I lurk and am keeping on eye on you folks.

cool

Carry on...
I thank you. I do a lot of just hanging around too. I'll post an interesting article or some poll numbers to see how folks will respond, if they do. I like to study the numbers and watch trends develop. There could be a very interesting one taking shape which after Super Tuesday, I'll know if it is or isn't.

Numbers can be very telling if one pays attention to them. Not so much for the numbers themselves, but for the trends they point out.


It's high past time that we start electing Americans to congress and the presidency who put America first instead of their political party. For way too long we have been electing Republicans and Democrats who happen to be Americans instead of Americans who happen to be Republicans and Democrats.

I don't watch the numbers as much as I watch the trends themselves. My goal is to spot the trends before the polls do.

We'll survive ANYONE better than we will survive Trump.

I'm in total agreement. This is why I'm watching South Carolina. The trend there from 1 Feb through 22 Feb was all Sanders. Since 22 Feb it's been all Biden. The question is, is this trend limited to South Carolina with its huge black vote in the democratic primary or is it a beginning nationwide.

Right now it has the look that blacks are returning to Biden to the point where he had 55% support among them nationally on 1 Feb. Whites continue to flock to Sanders. So the effect could be limited to states with a large black democratic primary vote.

We'll know more after South Carolina and Super Tuesday if that is happening. Watch South Carolina, Alabama, Texas, North Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee. What I've been seeing nationally is Sanders is extra strong among whites, strong among Hispanics, weak among blacks.

Interesting stats on 3 big Super Tuesday States. This is as of this AM.

Texas Blacks 39-21 for Biden
Hispanics 27-23 Sanders
Whites 30-19 Sanders

Virginia Blacks 37-18 Biden
Whites 23-10 Sanders
No Hispanic breakdown

North Carolina Blacks 36-16 Biden
Whites 30-18 Sanders
Hispanics 26-8 Sanders

It'll be interesting to see the exit polls for these 3 states. It seems as of this AM that the White/Hispanic coalition should lead Sanders to the nomination if it holds up.

Yea, he needs more time in the oven and a Governorship and then he'll be back and be a strong contender. Hope to see that.
