I strongly disagree - Hillary is much less likable and that matters a lot for candidates. But like I said, Bernie is probably too old to run effectively. Link to comment

He would not be attractive to very many in the middle.....especially right leaning middle of the road voters. PLEASE Democrats. Please put up someone young and someone who appeals to a broad group of voters. 1 Link to comment

I'm all for putting up someone young and different, but Bernie polled well among the workers in the middle and even some of the right. Politics isn't usually as simple as left-middle-right.

Scarlet Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Gavin Newsom is gaining traction. He'd have to overcome the "west coast liberal" tag but he's not a fossil like Biden or Sanders and is polling better than Harris (who would get get absolutely crushed) at this point. 1 Link to comment

If Bernie isn't too old to run a campaign, I think he'd actually do well especially against Trump. But I don't think Bernie or Biden can make it through a campaign, so probably not going to matter. 12 minutes ago, Scarlet said: Gavin Newsom is gaining traction.

Newsom is another clone of the last few dozen Dem candidates we've had - bland Dem talking point machine: forgettable. But maybe he'll be more impressive on the national campaign trail than he's been as governor. Link to comment
Lorewarn Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 Whoever said Bernie would be as bad as Hillary is absolutely out of touch with reality. While he's not an ideal candidate and maybe not even a good one, he's lightyears better of a candidate than Hillary would be. Not equatable in the slightest bit. 1 Link to comment

Maybe ^(both of you) read up on the past governor(s) and see how well those went as well as Illinois credit history. Also his current leadership regarding gun laws as well as the current Roe v Wade ruling. There's more. Woof Link to comment
