Bernie Sanders beating any of the GOP contenders is a good reason to leave the country.

I think I'm starting to get an ingrown toenail.

If Sanders gets the nomination he has a good shot at winning. He starts with NY and CA in his pocket. That’s somewhere near 1/3 of all the EV’s he would need to win.

Republican poll numbers are divided among 17 candidates.
IIRC, Bernie is one of 3 lunatic liberal choices.

I wonder how his favoring a 90% tax on those earning above a certain number will play out in the USA.

See here:

TITLE: Bernie Sanders: A 90 Percent Tax Rate Isn’t Too High

If he honestly and openly proposes and defends this and WINS... this is a RED FLAG... it tells me that America has reached the tipping point and is not longer the great country it once was.

These are head to head matchups.

These poll results are sad and another sign that this country is swirling down the toilet.

The bad news is that our electorate may be near the 50.1% tipping point for Socialism.

These a$$holes presume to think a pre-nomination poll distribution equates to a post-nomination distribution among those who would likely vote Republican.

This has been historically true with the exception of the last two Presidential elections. But Conservatives in this country have had enough. More than enough. They will not vote for a Jeb Bush.
For Jeb to get nominated, the pipe dream of being rescued by Hispanics is their only grace, and that just won’t happen. But if that wild dream comes true, the writer’s prediction might be true.

BUT! BUT! If we as conservatives can keep Jeb from getting the nomination, then that writer’s assessment will be like the paper I wiped my butt this morning with.

Sanders, a self-described socialist who has been running to Clinton’s left, beats former Florida governor Jeb Bush 48 percent to 47

If this poll is even a somewhat accurate reflection of the political idiocy of the American public, we have reached the point of no return.

Any poll that does not show Trump in the lead, be it from CNN, ABC News/WaPo, NBC News/WSJ is biased, an establishment poll, and is propaganda! But if/when those same polling outfits or other liberals pollers show Trump ahead (and some have), then they accurate!!! /s.

That is basically what I have learned reading many posts here at FR from Trump supporters. LOL.

This is like predicting the Super Bowl winner after a week of NFL combines.

Relax folks, it is still 2015.

I don’t think any Republican has said a word about Bernie.

So far I haven’t heard any specifics about what Bernie would do as President.

How would he handle illegal immigration?
How would he handle Iran, North Korea, Russia?
What would happen to ObamaCare under Bernie? Would it get bigger?
Where is Bernie on Religious Freedom?
Where is Bernie on Homosexual indoctrination in elementary schools?
Where is Bernie on gang warfare in major cities?
Where is Bernie on the War on Drugs

So far Bernie has been able to talk in platitudes, just like Obama did. The GOP didn’t engage him because to do so would have made them “rassists.”

Bernie is an old white dude who looks and talks like some professor who’s past retirement and is only around because of tenure. Another free rider on the gravy train.

With all this support for Sanders, I worry about this country. He’s a socialist, for Pete’s sake … why are so many people liking him?!

It’ll be over when Bernie screams like another candidate from Vermont.

To ask the question is to answer it...

I agree, but there are also polls out there showing Hitlery beating any GOP contender (which is BS), so I'm not believing any of this.

This is very good news in regards to both Hillary and the DNC types like Bush or Christie. What is really revealing is that Obama has destroyed Hillary, and the RNC is working overtime to destroy both Trump and the TEA wing of the GOP. The two big tents are not really that inclusive, but actually should form a single DNC-RNC Party to do what the heck they want on immigration, welfare, quantitative easing and higher taxes; oh and not to forget the divisive social policy rooted in an anti-worship collation.
