Basically every poll conducted says otherwise. This is not me espousing my opinion. Every poll conducted showed Sanders beating Trump handily as opposed to most polls that show Hillary and Trump neck-and-neck.
The thing is that Bernie never really stood up to the negative campaign ads that Hillary has. I know the supporters of Bernie don't like to admit it but there was a lot of things to attack him on. Hillary didn't do it to avoid making his supporters even more mad than they were but the Republicans certainly would have.

There are many articles that state the Republicans wanted Bernie to win the nomination as he would easily have been characterized as someone the average American didn't want.

Trump isn't going to beat Hillary.


Okay, even if true, there is no data to show what these hypothetical attacks would have done to his numbers or his reputation. We do have objective data that shows him doing better in a national election.

Hypothetical Jay Cutler > Hypothetical Bernie
We also have data to show that Hillary got people excited to vote for her by millions more with Democrats.

Do you think Trump is going to beat Hillary?


As I've said before, it's easy to conceive a scenario where Trump wins given the voting restrictions that have been implemented fairly recently in many battleground states.

Does a Trump victory feel likely? No, but neither did wins by Reagan and G.W. Bush--or Bill Clinton for that matter.

There's no reason for Republicans not to work with Hillary. She's essentially running as a Burkean conservative: everything's fine, let's keep doing what we're doing, and any issues that do come up can be addressed at a cautious pace by the wealthy and well-educated. Sounds like something Mitt Romney would have said, especially now that Romney and Hillary both think Russia is their greatest enemy.


Some oppose her on ideological grounds. Others oppose her based on partisanship. Still others personally despise her.


Did you catch that million-word piece from Ezra Klein about how Republicans will vociferously defend her from detractors because her sensitive delicate ladybrain uniquely allows her to listen to her Republican counterparts and work with them on things like, uh, flag-burning legislation and stuff?

Oh, I think there's a definite Plan regarding the timing of these releases. The anti-Bernie DNC stuff was perfectly timed before the convention.

Wouldn't Bernie deal with the same worst case scenario kind of things though?

Ultimately, Democrats and rational people are going to vote for Hillary. The rest of will vote for Trump and Trump will lose.

I'm thinking you are right....I mean, the other release worked. It pretty much did what it aimed to do.

This is kind of scary.

Agents of the Russian government told you what they were going to do!

She should have used the proper secured government server.

It would be something if Assange releases the other 30,000 emails from the server. Both exposing what she was trying to hide and also proving that the server was hacked.

Another story being buried is the DNC's attitude towards gays and latinos.

I still think Trump has the Goldman Sachs transcripts and will lay 'em on us fairly soon.

Yes, the news is unsurprising but disturbing nevertheless--and a reflection of how fragile our "democracy" is.

There's a definite irony to her camp complaining that the Russians are behind this when she ran her own illegal server.

Yes, of course. It's hard to imagine that Bernie would have proven more effective than Clinton against Trump given all the red-baiting that would have taken place.

My only point is that Trump should not be underestimated. I think his path to the White House is clearer than many Democrats believe.

I wouldn't take it for granted if I were running but I also can't see it happening.

I mean, I spent years saying I was "anyone but Hillary" and I'm pretty sure I'll vote for her if it seems close, and otherwise I'll vote for whatever starry eyed dreamer FavreFan tells me to vote for.

Its one of the reasons Trump has yet to spend any money on campaign advertisement. The media will say that they aren't shaping the coverage yet they will provide a 45 min infomercial sorry campaign rally cut-in in order for Trump to tell the world for the millionth time how great he is.

uh....so no one in the media is using that 45 minutes to point out what a fool he is?

Assange made the above statement 6 or 7 weeks ago and was referencing the server/email scandal. I don't think he has anything new to release.

Thought I heard something over the weekend that he said he had more.

OK, but he made the same prediction a while ago without delivering.

He said there is enough to charge her, but says the FBI will not take action here:
