Taking the side of degenerates over statisticians huh? Winning strategy right there.
Let's make this interesting. Assuming Bernie is the nominee, I will bet you any amount up to $10,000 that he will not become president.Me too

Ok, you gone from 1 month old polls to repeating 4 and 8 year old polls to try to make your point?
Good luck with hanging your hat on that.
Time to make some money. Your next post will go uncontested by me. Please make it a good one, if you have one.
4 and 8 year old polls .
I'm just trying to look at it from a neutral perspective. Sanders could easily win the nomination by appealing to the far left faction of the Democratic party, but I don't see him appealing to enough moderates & centrists to win the general election. IMO, Biden or Bloomberg would have a much higher probability of beating Trump.When polls ask directly if they will vote for Trump or Sanders they overwhelmingly say Sanders,since 2015
Just because someone identifies as moderate doesn't mean they will vote Trump or stay home thats why there are polls that ask directly who you will vote for and those polls have been right the last 3 presidential elections.
but I don't see him appealing to enough moderates & centrists to win the general election.
