When it comes to Sanders' electability, don't believe the polls

[Higgs]

Lyndon makes a decent post for once. Thank you, it really had to be said. No way Bernie beats any Republican by 10 or more points.

We really could not create a candidate easier to attack than Bernie Sanders, he is unelectable.

Just post it straight to the quarantine next time.

I know you dislike Lyndon, and I don't blame you for that, but do you really disagree with the idea that Bernie would underperform his insane polling in the general election?

Do you really refute the idea that he hasn't been attacked much yet, and that the Republicans have a lot of ammo?

[Higgs]

In typical Bernie Bro fashion that's what you post instead of an actual refutation to the OP.

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.
