I don't really believe the polls either, but I don't think anyone is "unelectable" in this election.

At any rate, Sanders isn't winning, so we'll never really know.

True, tis a shame.

That's the thing. We don't actually know if these comparative hypothetical GE polls are accurate or not, because only one candidate can get the nomination. I mean, I remember polls in 2008 showed Obama being the most electable candidate, but who knows whether that was true or not?

Yeah, any prediction really is just speculation. Although I don't think it's preposterous to think that Bernie is much less electable than the polls tell when looking at other factors.

I made a similar argument back in February.  

Anyways, this is will all soon be 'water under the bridge' once Bernie Sanders finally acknowledges that he has no realistic chance at winning the nomination.
