Lol you guys are delusional

Sanders is a self-proclaimed SOCIALIST (I know he actually isn't).

The GOP candidate would probably tie Sanders to the USSR (lol) and call him a far-left socialist lunatic, and the GOP candidate would probably win by a landslide just by doing that.

Anyone who thinks that Bush would lose or get less than 320 EV's is either a huge troll or delusional as far as I'm concerned. Even my map is probably being too generous to Sanders.

I could also imagine fundraising being a huge problem for Sanders if he won the nomination. A lot of wealthy donors who supported Obama and other mainstream Democrats aren't going to support Sanders for very obvious reasons.

You guys remind me of the Paulbots back in 2012 who believed that Paul would actually defeat Obama if he had won the nomination.



This isn't 1972 or 1984 anymore. There are too many black and Hispanic voters (who aren't going to suddenly turn Republican just because the Republican candidate supports "immigration reform") for any Democrat to lose in a landslide. Honestly, even if Sanders were a complete train wreck on the campaign trail and even if the Republicans nominated the best possible ticket (i.e., one not featuring Jeb Bush), it's very hard to see Sanders doing any worse than, say, this:

Yeah, and regardless of that, Sanders would still win the Hispanic vote by double digits against Bush or any Republican, just like McGovern and Mondale did, and just like Dukakis did against Bush's father two years after the Reagan administration implemented amnesty.
