One of the big lies about Bernie Sanders is that he cannot win against President Trump in the general election and that the Democrats need to choose a so-called moderate candidate in order to defeat the president in the general election. The DNC and the billionaire controlled corporate news media know this is a lie. Anybody can look at the polls and discover this claim is false.
By moderate candidate, the DNC and the corporate news media mean a Wall Street/billionaire controlled Democratic Party candidate. Quite naturally, a self-made capitalist millionaire like Bernie is labeled by the corporate press as a hardline Stalinist Communist who wants to burn all churches, put every citizen on farm communes, and burn all billionaires at the stake, rather than as the person who wants to restore and reinvigorate the middle class with such policies as Medicare for all, which every advanced capitalist nation has except for the USA.
So how do the preferred Wall Street candidates stack up against Trump in the latest poll?
In the latest Quinnipiac poll, released last week, Joe Biden defeats Trump by 7 percent, Pete Buttigieg wins by 4, Amy Klobuchar is up by 6, and the heavily advertised former Republicon mayor of New York City, Michael Bloomberg, beats the president by 9 percent.
Bernie defeats the president by 8 percent. Sanders beats Trump by a greater margin than all the rest except for Bloomberg. In other words, a billionaire/Wall Street controlled candidate is less likely to defeat the president than Bernie. By the way, the candidate who has positioned herself as being between Bernie and the Wall Street Democrats on public policy, Elizabeth Warren, beats Trump by 4 percent.
I can read the polls as easily as anybody else. Don’t let the DNC and the billionaire controlled corporate propaganda machine (so-called news media) tell you what to think.

Re “Bernie defeats the president by 8 percent. Sanders beats Trump by a greater margin than all the rest except for Bloomberg.” and Bloomberg is on his way out of the door. People in those polls only knew him based upon his voluminous ads. As they get to know him, his prospects will dim and then fade to black.
