When it comes to the electability argument, which do you think is bigger? The subset of the electorate that is normally in the Republican corner but is appalled enough by Trump to crossover and help Hillary Clinton win, or the subset of the electorate that is never going to vote for a guy who displays no religious faith and is clearly to the far left on economic issues?
Personally, I think Trump eliminates the argument that Sanders can’t get elected. I think he’d have a solid chance against Trump. But mostly in a “someone has to win” category, like when the Jacksonville Jaguars play the Tennessee Titans.
Therefore, I just don’t buy the talking point that Sanders has no chance.
On the other hand, I don’t think he’d get the same degree of crossover as Clinton from Republicans.
But, then, Sanders would do better than Clinton with young voters.
I’m asking you the question, but my answer is that both Clinton and Sanders can win, but Sanders is more likely to lose, and also more likely to win narrowly, if he wins.
