Reuters Poll: Voters Back Sanders As Next Commander-In-Chief...

from the link:

Who do Americans think would be the most trustworthy person to lead the nation’s military? The answer may surprise you. According to a new Reuters/Ipsos poll, the highest-scoring candidate for the post is Democrat Bernie Sanders, who wins a total of 38 percent of those surveyed among Democrats, Republicans and independents. Hillary Clinton also beats out her Republican rivals, placing second with 31 percent overall.

Apparently voters in red states don't count unless they support Sanders.

Bernie supporters say states like South Carolina and Alabama don't count, but states like Oklahoma and Kansas count because they voted for Bernie.

what then?

Is there any point at which he surrenders? Will he try to "take" what he believes to be his?

I really don't see Bernie as the surrendering kind.

IF Hillary wins I can see him conceding graciously but, I don't think surrender is in his vocabulary.

They want to see the American Left defeated, hence the language of surrender.

This should surprise none of us.

Among Democrats, Sanders and Clinton won roughly similar support within the poll’s margin of error (61 percent and 57 percent respectively.)

He's going to need to win the nomination first tho.

Right now that's not looking as good for him as it did
a week ago.

If he could win the nomination tho, yeah he'd be awesome.

Whether you like him or not is irrelevant. This is one of my biggest worries. An attack would occur and he would throw up his arms and yell, "this is outrageous! Don't you know the middle class is shrinking?"
