The latest round of polling shows, once again, that Bernie Sanders is the best suited to beat Donald Trump, holding a nine-point lead over him nationally. But let’s not lose sight of what else is important – it isn’t just about beating Trump, it is about changing the way this country operates so that it benefits everyone and not just those at the top. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this. Link –

Polling data over the last few months has consistently showed us one thing and that one thing is that nobody beats Donald Trump. Like Bernie Sanders beats Donald Trump. The latest poll released yesterday showed that Bernie Sanders has a nine point lead nationally in head to head match ups against Donald Trump. That is the highest of any other democratic candidate. Second place is Joe Biden who beats Donald Trump by seven points. A Buttigieg and Warren beat Trump by four points. Klobuchar loses to Trump by three points and Gabbard loses to Trump by five points. So Klobuchar and Gabbard shouldn't even be a part of the conversation at this point. They can't beat Donald Trump. All these numbers will change. But here's the thing. Yeah, they're going to change except for the fact that with Bernie Sanders, they haven't. We have seen polls in the past showing that Elizabeth Warren either ties or loses to Donald Trump nationally. We have seen polls in the past that say the Joe Biden beats him by three points nationally.
But in every one of these polls over the last couple of months here, everyone has showed that Bernie Sanders not only beats Trump nationally, but beats Trump greater than the margin of error. So even if you subtract or add that margin of error to either of those scores, Bernie still wins and he is the only one who was consistently fallen into that category. Bernie beats Trump. So all this talk about Biden being the most electable. That's trash. That's an absolute nonsense argument based on absolutely nothing. Bernie beats Trump. Bernie beats Trump by the biggest margins. Bernie beats Trump consistently. Bernie is the best hope. If the goal is to beat Donald Trump, but here's the catch. That's not the only goal. It's not just about beating Donald Trump. If it were any one of these candidates that's beating him right now would do, right. You could go for Biden or Warren or Buttigieg cause beating Trump is only half the battle.
The other part is changing the way this country operates, changing the power structures in this country. You're not going to get that with Biden and you're certainly not going to get it with Buttigieg. And you wouldn't even get it with a club, a char. But that's mostly because she doesn't even beat Trump and matchups. You get it with Bernie, you get a little love it. Yes. With Elizabeth Warren too, you hit more of it with Bernie and that's why that's what we need. Our healthcare system is flawed beyond recognition. So as our student loan system, so are these areas of the country that haven't raised the minimum wage and over a decade that's backwards. So was our tax system that gives everything to those at the top and screws over everyone who's not in the top 1% that has to change and there's only one candidate that is going to change all of those things in the way that they need to be changed.
