if there happens to be a recession in between 2020, which hopefully there isnt, but people have been forecasting one for a long time, it would help bernies case because his whole thing is the billionaires rigged the economy in their favor at the expense of average americans, but americans are short sighted, i think i read somewhere that trumps economic approval was 60% and bush had very similar approval overall to trump, but the economy held until he was at the end of his 2nd term, which then of course fox news blamed obama for 8 years, but it seems inevitable that republican policies cause a boom/bust cycle, theres a short term boom because the market is flooded with extra capital, but eventually it busts because of there unwilingness to check bad corporate behavior because they have people like former goldman sachs execs in their cabinet..., and americans never make the connection nor care to do so, its just an uphill battle for any democrat.

Bernie is an octogenarian who has had a heard attack that required stent placement and who is refusing to release his medical records, to boot. The chance of him dying in office is not insignificant enough for his VP pick to take on importance as it did with McCain.
So a ticket that could potentially see a Gabbard administration? Absolutely not.
Also lol @ all the people saying brocialism is made up when y'all can literally read my signature.

Yep. Because the longer we go without one, the bigger the market bubbles get and the bigger the crash will be.
And let's not forget that the Fed has admitted thanks to Trump's policies they no longer have any tools left to counteract a recession monetarily. Meaning that a very bad will be entirely on the administration and McConnell.
Y'all should have just left the financial market stay regulated, but your rich friends needed to make a buck I guess.

But then again economist are part of the liberal elite and they hated bush too so much they said he would crash the economy guess we just cant trust liberal bias better go turn on one america news network
well it is suprising he was one of the people during the none pandemic ebola situation saying obama was endagering everyone for not closing the borders and banning travel, but i think as president he was told doing that with china would hurt the economy and make his image look bad, i think he definitely on a personal level would love to do a china ban, but anyways even though the virus is out of his control, if it causes an economic downturn it dispels the myth he sold to his supporters that we dont need china at all and we can just easily replace all of their manufacturing

Even if Bernie really wins the election his policies will not be approved by Congress. People just like to hear nice promises but at the end of the day there will be heavy burdens to pay for all the welfare. Bernie is a man with integrity but his policies are quite unrealistic. Still, I'd prefer him over Trump.
Then he should have had coherent sound bytes. He fucked it up entirely. Bad answer, and sounded bad as well.
Look - I'm not bashing on him in the way Bernie supporters think, I'm just pointing out that if Sanders is going to be the Dem candidate, he needs to step the fuck up, and not sound like an idiot when being interviewed on his own policy positions.

No one should pay attention to ANY national poll comparing Trump to anyone else. So much will happen before then, including the Olympics (where Trump will invariably fuck up something Yugely) and the Democratic National Convention, where the party will unite.
It's been reported that Obama will be coming out strong for whomever the nominee is, attempting to unite the party and make a huge surge. National polls on head-to-head vs Trump are worthless until then.
Democrats view Sanders as having best shot to defeat Trump: poll
A plurality of Democrats believe that Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) has the best shot at defeating President Trump in November, according to a new national poll.
The latest Morning Consult survey, which was conducted after Sanders’s dominant victory in the Nevada caucuses, found 33 percent of Democrats view Sanders as the best candidate they could put up in a head-to-head match-up against Trump.
Twenty-three percent of polled Democrats said former New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg would do best against Trump, and 18 percent said former Vice President Joe Biden.
The new poll comes amid warnings from some establishment Democrats that Sanders will lead the party to a historic defeat if he is the nominee.
However, most national polls find Sanders leading Trump in a hypothetical head-to-head match-up.
The Morning Consult poll also found Sanders overtaking Biden among black voters nationally for the first time. One-third of black Democratic voters said they support Sanders, compared with 29 percent for Biden.
