between him and Biden in head-to-head matchups with Trump. He introduced his recounting of the contrasts between his record and Biden's Friday with the argument that Trump would exploit Biden's positions in a general election matchup.
Of the 63 percent who favored a nominee who could beat Trump, 37 percent said they voted for Biden and 24 percent said they voted for Sanders. At the time, several other candidates were still in the running or had exited the race so recently that they remained on the ballot. Of the 34 percent who wanted a nominee who shared their values, 42 percent favored Sanders and 25 percent went for Biden.
Biden, keeping his focus firmly on the general election even when that hurt him in the first few states to vote, has shown little inclination to fight Sanders for the title of"most progressive candidate." That makes Sanders' decision to battle for territory he already owns all the more curious. But Sanders' critics have long contended that the only political math he understands is division.
jonallendc I don't see how Biden's poor record on social security helps Biden. Republican or democrat, everyone wants their social security.
jonallendc Democrats want to beat Trump. Bernie wants to argue about what he thinks is wrong with the Democratic party. He is an insurgent bomb-thrower. Not a coalition-builder. It shouldn't be surprising that he has a 35% ceiling, at best.
jonallendc And his claims that everything's rigged only demotivates his young base from standing in line to vote (why fight for what's already lost), moves them to attack dissenters, and drives them to the spiritual highs of his rallies that do little to create change: Rinse, repeat.
jonallendc Bernie will beat Trump!
jonallendc By definition, a progressive is someone who strives for progress. Moderates would rather sit right where they are because they are afraid of making the necessary changes. Moderates don’t WANT progress.
jonallendc Bernie was winning and Biden was done until the media lost their minds and went full on attack mode scaring everyone that Bernie would lose to Trump even though it was based on nothing. The reality is unfortunately that Biden will lose to Trump
jonallendc Polls consistently show Bernie beating Trump by wider margins than Biden. False narrative.
jonallendc Lol
jonallendc Given BernieSanders record, JoeBiden feels that his progressive opponent protects him from serious scrutiny.
jonallendc People are scared of change. 🤷🏾♂️. With Biden it'll be status quo for big pharmacy and business. Just what rich people want
jonallendc Those not accepting of progress, will be doomed to regression.
jonallendc Biden/Bernie 2020 JoeBiden BernieSanders Meet me in the middle. Put the country first. We get the best of both statesmen. Teach America what is fair, what we are due, and how compromise can make America great. BidenBernie2020
jonallendc GO POUND SAND.
jonallendc Actually it’s articles and media bias like this
jonallendc BernieSanders
jonallendc Trump 2020.
jonallendc When NBC delivers biased reportage regularly it pushes viewers elsewhere. Surveying new channels to replace NBC morning news and Today. So done.
jonallendc Bernie doesn't understand behavior &work ethic of the current generation cannot sustain being a socialist society. The closest society it would work would have been the those from great depression. Even when FDR provided welfare, work ethic began to decline in later generations.
jonallendc Yeah, put up another unlikeble centrist that people begrudgingly vote for. It worked out great in 2016! Hope about you get some “political analysts” on that one, huh?
jonallendc Biden’s a disgrace. Just another career politician. Didn’t people say they were tired of career politicians in 2016? I will give Trump another protest vote. I don’t think I can vote for Joe.
jonallendc NBC trying to get what they want. Fake news. Americans see thru your propaganda.
jonallendc
jonallendc ---- BernieBeatsTrump
jonallendc Looking at a map of the world major areas that dont have universal health care, India, most African countries , Indonesia, Mongolia and the USA.
jonallendc A far left/right candidate will never win the election. I know this might be troubling to many people, Donald Trump won because he is a democrat that calls himself a Republican. He was the centrist candidate
jonallendc Why would he be a fantastic surrogate? Because even Bernie recognizes that Joe Biden is a working-class champion who will improve the lives of everyday Americans. RidinWithBiden
jonallendc He thinks it's 1968.
jonallendc Of course it does. Bernie is no progressive, he's a wannabe dictator.
jonallendc Attention please.. you can't beat a sociopath like Trump with a progreNazi sanders
jonallendc Why does he no longer call it a revolution? Because his moronic Bernie Bros took it out of context.
jonallendc Joe has dementia that disqualifies him from becoming the President of the United States.
jonallendc Why not move the Overton window? Neither will beat Trump but it looks like desperation settling for Biden.
jonallendc 'I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to 'order' than to justice' - MLK
jonallendc When the house is burning down you don't worry about what color to paint the den
BREAKING: No one in America is going to change their mind about a candidate based on your guest/pundit's personal opinions about them. It's like giving them airtime for commercials about a candidate. Please stop.
Give up the smear campaign, i'd love to see an MSNBC piece calling into question Biden's apparent mental decline.
There should be weekly debates from Biden & Bernie from now until the elections!! Bernie wants to talk! Biden seems to be hiding! BidenDebateBernie BernieDebateBiden DebateBidenBernie
Been saying this since Bernie start attacking Joe
My point exactly! What chance Progr had of forwarding their agenda was losted when they chose to back Bernie over Warren. Ironic that a movement that claims to champion equal rights for women. When it came time for women Dems to actually support one, they chose a man. Go figure!
Biden is a bland centrist that wants the Obama era’s status quo. He’s a people pleaser without firm principles. Progressive voters split between Warren & Sanders. The younger democrats see a need for more progressive policies. The left shift is happening.
Are you out of your mind? He spent the minuscule amount of time he spent stumping for Hillary giving his stump speech and denigrating Democrats. No thank you. He can go home and knit.
AYFKM? he should be in Vermont, knitting. All he did in '16 when 'campaigning' for HRC was give HIS stump speech (that voters rejected), and tell people to vote their conscience. He wasn't out there pushing HRC's plans. He kept campaigning for himself. NO THANK YOU.
Bought out in 2016. Nothing different in 2020 except his price is adjusted for inflation. Beginning to think he's a fraud.
Why do you have Biden winning without California being called? Missing some delegates don’t you think? 🤔 stoplyingnbc
Joe Biden spoke for 7 minutes at his rally in Misourri. That's news. IDoNotLikeJoeBiden
Tulsi Gabbard, Sanders and Warren supporters should vote for Trump.
I wonder if Bernie's supporters will finally wake up to the fraud he is when he completes his role once again by endorsing Biden and then buys another house?
Case well stated. If Bernie would only stop uttering two recurring words, 'socialism and revolution,' he'd be home free. They're hand grenades for the under-educated, biased, deeply fearful and varied opposition. His agenda is a universally favored democratic hybrid.
That pic of Saunders. Looks like he is conducting an orchestra.🤣🤣
Because Bernie's a divisive jerk that is turning off middle America. He only attracts the hateful left as diehard supporters.
You have to be fucking kidding
Joe Biden is not beating Trump at all.
Because Sanders speaks in coherent sentences? That’s why Sanders makes a better candidate. Joe can go relax at home. Bernie’s got this.
HelloNojoe
Laughable. NBC always with the love for Bernie.
WOW!! “Journalists” already MADE BernieSanders a surrogate for Biden😳🤔
Happy for Bernie to endorse joe for the senate.
That's it. The msm has forced me to consider voting for Trump. This is your fault.
