The demographics of the south have been changing as the population ages - lots of people from the North moving south. Combine them with the inner cities (lots of growing cities in the south) and it isn’t becoming so sure anymore.
All he needs to do is peel off 3.01%.
Not gonna be hard for him to do.
Very much aware of that..however...a large portion of those are escaping the unions crap, the high taxes, the crime problems, etc, etc...with a large majority of them tending toward conservative/libertarian-ism, tired of the crap they have had to fend off in the north...and they don't want to hear Sanders socialistic crap.
Now, some of them may want to hear Hitlery's crap, I'm not sure what the story may be there, but even with a bunch of transplants, Sanders does not fly well, especially with the older ones.
Surprisingly, he is polling well with the millennials...I think they see their grandpa in him or something.
Not too sure about that demographic, anyway.
I think he's just another Dukakis...he did well with the younger set at that time...the late-blooming flower children and the "peace, baby" types, but faltered all to hell in the south when the chips were down.
Right now, I think (Trump) (Cruz) (Rubio) et al...(Just circle one.), will run both Sanders and Hitlery out of town, north, south, east, west...but time will tell.
This will be a republican election to lose, even if a republican does not win it.
Can you say RINO?
The media absolutely loves Bernie Sanders. No other candidate has ever received more positive-to- negative coverage ratio.
