LOL, I knew it. I said it here over and over, that the loser known as Bernie Sanders would lose again. His supporters got outraged and had all sorts of excuses to still call him the people's choice. Many attacked me personally when I said that he is anything but the people's choice.
Guess what? The people are choosing differently, like I predicted.
National (US) Poll - August 6, 2019 - Warren Up, Harris Down, But Bi | Quinnipiac University Connecticut
Biden 32%, Warren 21%, Sanders 14%.
Sure, sure, his apologists will say "it's too early to pay attention to polls." Nope. Stats show that *when a candidate enjoys wide name recognition* which is Sanders' case, when he/she polls poorly even several months before the contest, it really doesn't bode well for him/her. Mark my words. Yes, in 2016 he surged from low numbers to big numbers, but that's when he was a novelty and did not have all this name recognition. 2020 is a different animal. Voters are tired of Bernie Sanders' empty promises that feel so 2016, and the field has other people who attract the progressive vote (see the detail: very liberal Democrats go 40% for Warren, 20% for Sanders; double for her!). Nope, Sanders won't be the nominee.
Now, once Sanders loses again and drops out of the race, will his fans sulk, throw a temper tantrum, and blame everybody else (except the loser himself) and say it's the DNC, it's the main stream media, it's the plutocrats, it's Wall Street interests, etc etc? And will they say "Bernie or Bust" and immaturely join Trump out of spite, like some of them did in 2016? Or will they grow up and realize that their guy is just a loser? That he loses not because of some sinister conspiracy, but because most Dem primary voters are not impressed by his pies in the sky?
To be clear, if by some sort of weird miracle Sanders wins the Dem nomination, I'll vote for him. I'll vote for anybody who runs against Trump. But I do hope that it's not him, because I can't stand that opportunistic, vacuous populist, one-trick-pony, loser Bernie Sanders, the Trump of the Left.
By the way, to everybody who jumped on Harris' bandwagon due to ONE debate, I said, wait, there will be other debates. Now she is polling at 7%. LOL
