Recently read an article somewhere that his supporters are millennials and those over 74. In those two groups it's the younger "give me it for free" crowd and those over 74 that didn't plan for their retirement so they want freebies as well. Not going to cut it for him. I know many millennials who love Trump.

The guy is a fraud anyway. Anyone with half a brain and there are many out there, would realize he espouses socialism and lives by capitalism.

He's very corrupt...

I pray he doesn't cash out and runs against Trump. Unfortunately, that's a pipe dream.

We are going to find  out about all that  black support Trump is supposed to have. Ihave read of  20-30% My prediction is it will be around  7% in the actual election. 2016 may  have  no bearing  on 2020 but  its  playing  out in reverse. The article mentions never bernie  "moderates" voting for  Trump. Gee, i seem to remember alot  of  so-called never Trumpers were going to support Hillary. If the economy remains strong Trump has the upper  hand but the only dem candidate with a solid core of support, Sanders, is the  most  likely to beat him, not the  least  likely.

Unfortunately, I agree that Sanders has a good chance to beat President Trump.  I put the 'blame' on the millennials who have been raised to believe that the govt is the source of all good things for the people.  That's not what I believe.  Seems to me that we have lost our zest for independence from govt control of our lives.  ....... Sanders believes in more govt control in all facets of our lives.  Yuck!

He may see the writing on the wall by the time the convention rolls around and figure that he can always use another vacation home.

That makes total sense. You've got brainwashed snowflakes and what amounts to, an equivalent of, beach bums, kids that never grew up who now have goiter and back problems and no way to support themselves.

That's a certainty. He's trying to pump up his stock to increase his payout...

Nope, just rooted in reality. I follow politics as if it was my investment portfolio. I assure you, there is no way anyone is going to beat Trump, most people look at their job and bank account, if they are happy, they are not motivated to change things.
Most libs will probably stay home instead of taking the time to "Change" things as they normally do.

All they had to do was ask us, we've been saying this all along.

Democrats Fear Historical 2020 DEFEAT, Trump Could Win 520 Electoral Votes In MASSIVE Landslide

Democrats Fear Historical 2020 DEFEAT, Trump Could Win 520 Electoral Votes In MASSIVE Landslide. Democratic congressman Tim Ryan warned recently that if the Democrats nominate Bernie Sanders they will lose 48 states in a repeat of the 1972 Richard Nixon reelection. Back then Democrats thought the only way to win was with a progressive coalition of college educated voters, young people, and minorities.
This strategy backfired so bad that it has gone down in history as one of the worst political failures of the United States. George McGovern lost after winning only one state. Richard Nixon won with 520 electoral votes.

Today the Democrats are being mobbed by far left ideology and a Democratic Socialist. Democrats and Republicans alike are ringing the alarm bells warning of a repeat of 1972. With a record economy, failed impeachment, Trump's record approval it stands to reason that we are about to witness history.
While many older Democrats are already aware of what happened and what it will bring, younger activist voters never learned those lessons and are walking Democrats off a cliff. Never Bernie moderates may actually defect from the democratic party and join Trump giving him a massive landslide in November.

Carville has come out and said what we always knew - Bernie is a communist.

The media will try to pass this off as Carville being 75 year old nut. Make no mistake, he is an astute political operative and knows a disaster when he sees one.

I follow politics because I usually get up before my husband, and the computer is a quiet way to spend my time.  However, I have found that life's lessons are very instructive for me and I have gained a lot of wisdom from them; some I'd like to forget, some I hope I never forget.  One thing I have learned is that it can be very deceiving to read about reality instead of getting out in the world and living it.

I think that "most libs" could (probably will) get out and vote.  I just don't know in what direction it definitely will be.  Suggestion; don't leave that 'investment portfolio' on the floor, you might stumble over it.

What is Sander's "core support"?

His supporters? The others only have people supporting them to beat bernie, not because they like thier candidte

Then why has DNC primary turnout been so low?
