So because Bernie is the only campaign in this race with actual grassroots support, are the rest...

[Billy000]

... Lacking authenticity?

Yes.

Bernie's campaign has had unprecedented grassroots support. It's reached 2 million individual contributions faster than any US presidential candidate in history. Both Hillary and Bernie have raised more in donations than any other candidate with Bernie having raised a few million short of Hillary. However, he has accepted no Super PAC support to achieve this.

This is what makes Sander's a real threat to republicans.

Let's also not forget that Bernie is beating any republican in a hypothetical match up.

Over 100 million people voted in the last general election.
Why is Bernie getting 2 million individual contributions such a threat to the GOP....

Lol because no other candidate has reached 2 million individual contributions faster than he has? How is this complicated for you?

It's still 2 million people out of over 100 million voters.
If you told us that he got 20 million people to support his campaign then maybe I wouldn't piss all over it.
I don't care that he got 2 million faster then anyone.

 

[RandallFlagg]

Bernie Sanders reminds me of Ron Paul. They have similar constituents.

I saw a Bernie bumper sticker today. So far, no hillary's.

Indeed - aging hipsters who desperately want "Woodstock" to come back......

 

[Rozman]

That to me is like a made up baseball stat that says so and so is the first player to hit
a home run to left field on Monday and Tuesday nights from a left hander who's last name ended with a Y....

 

[blackhawk]

People on both sides are making such a big deal of Bernies poll numbers in Iowa and New Hampshire but beyond these he does not seem to be close to Hillary anywhere. He's not even a threat to Hillary much less Republicans.

I don't think Barack was either...until he won some early primaries.

True but Obama had abvantages Sanders does not he was the first serious black contender for President and he had a pretty much a blank page record he could pass him self off as whatever type of candidate he wanted to be with nothing on record to say otherwise. Sanders on the other hand has a long Senate record and proudly proclaims him self a socialist people know who he is and where he stands politically. And as another poster pointed out Howard Dean did well in the first couple of primarys and then went no where same with Ron Paul back when he would make his Presidential runs.

 

[Rozman]

OMG.....Bernie raised money from 2 million people faster then anyone....
Why are Republicans even running? LOL

Um yeah and the voting numbers haven't changed in previous elections. It's not like most people who vote give campaign contributions.

Go for it democrats. If y'all think a socialist has more grassroots support than a psychotic enabler for her husband's abuse of women then nominate him.

Let's also not forget that Bernie is beating any republican in a hypothetical match up.

It is slowly looking like Sanders will be the next president. He does have support across party lines, a lot of support with independents, and he HAS risen as a result of a grassroots movement. He was polling like O'Malley six months ago, now he may win some of the primaries. And he has no ugly baggage.

When you step back and weigh things without regard to party you start getting that sense, small but building very slowly, that this guy is going to win the candidacy and the presidency.

The Republicans have been throwing mud at Hillary for 4 straight years thinking she would be the nominee. Sanders is the one that will benefit from it. trump can't win a general. He has no black, Hispanic, or women's vote, he's done if he's the Gopp candidate.

I think the only thing that is keeping Bernie down in the polls is his lack of name recognition compared to Hillary. His steady climb in the polls reflects this. His exposure grows with his poll numbers.

 

[Lucy Hamilton]

Trump's support is grassroots, as well.

Popular does not mean "authentic".

Do you think Bernie Sanders can win the election, this of course if he first gets the nomination?

I doubt he'll win the primary. I have no idea what would happen should he make the general.

The poll numbers though must be uncomfortable for Hillary. She must be freaking. I don't think it's possible for Sanders to get elected the President, he's just too Far Left, I think the result could mirror the George MacGovern 1972 result.

Do you REALLY believe that?

Well, I guess there IS one born every minute.

You know I'm right. That's why you haven't attempted to explain why I am wrong.

Well sonny - you go right ahead and support that communist. See how far that gets you. If you truly believe that that ***** murderer Clinton will allow that other old windbag to gain the nomination, you are too precious to be voting. Or, as the old saying goes, "Money talks and bullshit walks". Jesus, just think about your choices as a "progressive" - a murderer or a communist. What a deal, right??

Well like any far right nutter, you have no idea what a communist is. Tell me how does it feel that this "communist" is beating any repub in a hypothetical match up?

The polls have been showing that both Hillary and Sanders would lose to Republican.

What polls are you reading?

He currently beats Trump in a hypothetical match up by at least 10 points among general adult voters.

The media screwed Dean...they wanted the establishment candidate.

After the way Trump and Sanders have been treated in the MSM...I went back and looked at the infamous Dean Scream.

2 million people want more free stuff. There may be a lot more as well. Pretty scary for the working stiffs that will have to pay for it.
