of his statement, Mayor Pete added "total revolution".

aligning with Joe. He's a cinch for a spot in a Biden Administration.

There are enough people doing okay that might not want to rock the boat all that much.

In addition to the well written 101 page memorandum with oppo on sanders with a 1000 pages of backup from the Clinton campaign trump has his own oppo file on sanders that would destroy such a weak and divisive candidate like sanders. Trump had a two foot thick book of oppo research on Sanders http://www.newsweek.com/myths-cost-democrats-presidential-election-521044

Please feel free to repost this on a regular basis.

This is worthy of deep reflection.

Easily IMO.

Trump, by varying margins, to none of our top candidates beating him, instead losing by varying margins.

And there are a hell of a lot of polls with some of our top candidates beating him and some losing to him.

The only real consistency in the polls is that in almost all of them, Biden does better against Trump than our other candidates do.

Not socialist.

but for anyone with a brain who's paying attention, they are not at all enamored with him, and I don't see iq45 winning over any newbies with his brilliant ideas.

I believe that making Senator Bernie Sanders the nominee would increase the chances of Trump winning. The people who I believe can beat Trump include the following:

Joe Biden
Elizabeth Warren
Michael Bloomberg
Pete Buttigieg
Andrew Yang
Amy Klobuchar
Tom Steyer
Michael Bennet
Deval Patrick

The people that I have a real problem seeing a win against Trump include the following:

Tulsi Gabbard
Bernie Sanders

I even think that Tulsi Gabbard might have an easier time beating Trump than Bernie Sanders.

Oh my!

and I will forward your concern to senator Bernie.

same case as Mayor Pete, a few minutes ago on CNN. Though Nelson didn't parrot Mayor Pete's "total revolution" assertion, he did add Elizabeth Warren to the short list of Dems who he believes are too far to the left to beat Trump.

The energy is all on our side this time. I don't even hear about Tea Party anymore, which was a big force in 2016.
But Trump will hold 60 rallies before election day all over the country, and only Warren, Buttigieg & Klobuchar have the physical stamina to keep up with that pace. It is going to be a very physically strenuous campaign.

Is he going to have proud Jill Stein voters and "both parties are corrupt and bad" voices like Nina Turner work the media for months on end telling the public why they need to vote democrat? Seriously, why should any staunch democratic supporters believe a single word they have to say?

It's not about voting for the democratic nominee. I'm pretty sure everyone here is going to do that. It's about having people lead the party who's allegiance to the democratic party is tenuous at best.

Not clear which "he" you speak of.

She's only working for Sanders.

So would Warren. Both of them lead with their chins, but their supporters think it's boxing with the gloves off. It's not.

Everyone's fighting for the right cause here. The ones who look like they are fighting most are the ones fighting worst. The winner of a bullfight isn't the participant who is snorting and pawing the dirt.

just a few minutes ago.

Guarantee a Trump re-election. There’s the constant trashing of Sen Sanders, followed by we should all fall in line with the nominee.

Pete is right.

even though he's not their number one candidate.

Mayor Pete was "truth telling".

Mahalo, Cha

OP!

And yes, we all should fall in line with the nominee. Bucking the nominee gets us Trump, not challenging our primary candidates on their merits.

I urge all DUers to tune in.

Totally.

Of course, whatever he says, he says it well.

thing just now on CNN. 2:37.est.

Senator Nelson was in tune with the electorate a decade ago. I an not so sure that still holds true. Conventional politicians, as good as they may be as public servants, and the conventional politics they excelled us, is less and less a mach for mood both here and around the world that is increasingly rejecting politics as usual

K&R

I am 99% certain if Sanders is the nominee, Trump will win.

Declares one of the people polling better isn’t a good choice.

Gosh, this should clearly be a ‘breaking news at 10!’ item..

gave us a hint on who he WILL NOT endorse when he finally drops out.

He is admitting he is the status quo candidate.

Is that what the working man needs?

to normalcy. A "status quo" candidate fills the bill.

have latched on to.

everyone but Bernie like they do not matter. Did they just decided to work for the Republicans today.

phone conversation an "NBC reporter" supposedly overheard.

I won't repeat the alleged contents because it sounded like complete bullshit.

Good observation Pete .

Status quo is a horrible way to put TRUMP v SANDERS. He's assuming that Trump will keep us at status quo? Weren't we better off in a Obama presidency? He's implying we're coasting in this R administration...
Trump's 4 years is bring instability and worry to people like never before. And there so much anxiety about the election this year. THAT isn't the status quo; we are regressing to the 1950's.

Additionally, we have been wanting big change for awhile now. Obama won on change because of GWB and his shitty war. If anything, excitement and promise is what get people to the polls- NEVER status quo.

is a winner.

most likely back a moderate after he drops from contention.

That eliminates Bernie right off the bat.
