I never said Trump would beat Clinton.
ok, well that is why i asked. It was ambiguous.
I don't think that she would lose to Trump, but the question is whether she would do better than Sanders. There is no evidence that she would do better, just the mantra that she would, repeated primarily by Clinton supporters, who can hardly be objective on the matter. All I get is opinion based on gut feelings or intuition. If Clinton supporters want to cite other reasons for supporting to her, I can deal with that, but this one bothers me, because all objective evidence is to the contrary.
True. Personally, I'm on the fence about it. I think his democratic socialist label drags him down with older voters
(who are still more numerous than Millennials right now and have higher turnout rates), and his fundraising strategy might fall woefully short in terms of funding a competitive GE campaign. If he were to face Trump, he might not have to worry about
that, because Trump looks like he's planning to continue waging an ultra-cheap campaign.
But other than that, I think Sanders would be a formidable candidate. More so than Clinton under the right circumstances.
