Opinion | Jamie Peck: Sen. Sanders can beat President Trump with his liberal vision for America. Primary voters know it. - NBCNewsTHINK

And, he beat a Republican incumbent when he ran for the House in 1990, and won his 2006 Senate race by flipping a seat that had been occupied by Republicans for 144 years.

Sanders’ supporters believe his decades-long record of fighting for social and economic justice and criticizing the corrupt political establishment will turn out people in the general election who don’t habitually vote — a group that skews young, poor and non-white. And, while non-voters skew slightly more conservative than voting Democrats on social issues, they not only support single-payer healthcare at higher rates, but 51 percent also want “To his energetic and activated base, Sanders is that rare candidate who combines bold, progressive ideas with an actual path to electoral victory.

THINK If so, what kind of president would he be? Bellowing what he wants without compromise won't go far and would alienate even members of his own party. The country, its government and people offer a complex challenge to be delt with skillfully. Bernie is too brash and too old.

THINK No way....

THINK Not a chance-giving voters the choice between Sanders and Trump is no contest. Democrats need to cast a wider net if they want a dog in this fight.

THINK 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

THINK 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

THINK

THINK The media will back any democrat and spew lies right up until Trump wins again

THINK No he cant

THINK 🤣🤣🤣

THINK Only the steeple who are led and 🧠 washed w/ socialism

THINK 😂😂😂😂😂 m'kay

THINK

THINK It’s seems like a clear choice between choosing gov’t control and higher taxes or rising wages and a booming economy. Let me think about it some more before I decide.

THINK

THINK Never...Sanders is a lazy never held a job, play the system thief. Never passed anything in the senate.

THINK Which primary voters would thst be? The less than 17% that could vote meaning less than half will?

THINK BernieSanders SenSchumer MikeBloomberg maddow NicolleDWallace If Sanders gets the nomination and he refuses to take Bloomberg’s money to help him. If he the looses the election there is no one to blame but himself. His Medicare for all doesn’t seem to be a winning strategy

THINK Not only can he, not beathe trump! If by the slightest chance he does, we are preparing to impeach him for trying to establish a socilalist, communist state

THINK

THINK That’s ridiculous. But why on God’s green earth do people want a socialist? Are they so short sighted and selfish that they can’t see past their student debt forgiveness to realize what that actually means for the future of this country? I mean wtf?

THINK Opinions are like a$$holes, everybody has one. Opinions on are like a$$holes with explosive diarrhea

THINK Too Liberal for me, and too wishy washy on how all his big plans will be paid for. Pete is the guy we need. PeteForAmerica

THINK This man tutored Sanders and Sanders is ingrained with his ideologies and form of government! Real Americans will NEVER let him in the White House nor would they let a gay housewife who was mayor of a small city who accompanied nothing! These are my people FOX40 realDonaldTrump

THINK You’re dreaming! There’s no way that commie will ever win, DoNothingDemocrats know it too.

THINK Hogwash.

THINK SpoilerSanders BernieBegetsTrump Policies will never pass in Congress. Wealth tax discriminatory. College for all? Why? Pay for millionaire’s kid to go? Medicare for all? Just went on Medicare & wish I had previous insurance. BTW,he won’t release med records. VoteBlue

THINK Nope. They don’t know it.

THINK He will turn the greatest and wealthiest nation the Earth has ever known into the U.S.S.R. before you can even say Stalin.

THINK

THINK

THINK 😫😡🤢🤮💩

THINK Liberal vision This guy is a devout Socialist who praised Fidel Castro, Ortega and Maduro!!

THINK Nope not gonna happen, but if your that confident I’m willing to except all wagers

THINK BS how cus im not vote n 4 dat ole fart heart attack wait n 2 happen

THINK FreeShit only lasts so long! Then there is only despair.

THINK Hahahaha

THINK I don’t think so! It’s a sham

THINK No, he can't.

THINK 🥜🥜🥜🥜🥜🥜🥜🥜🥜🥜

THINK It’s the electoral college, stupid.

THINK Bernie’s liberal vision would truly be a disaster for this country. If you are under 40 and are just caught up in an exciting “change” agenda, please be aware you are being hoodwinked. What is it about your life that is SO BAD that you think our country needs fundamental change?

THINK Who is going to pay for his liberal vision?

THINK People are not going to vote for someone that states I’m going to increase your taxes a lot, nationalized health care free college tuition and open borders. Not happening

THINK

THINK

THINK Bernie needs to back out of the race, take a chill pill, and do the job he already has... We need people like him in the Senate. We don't need the 'good version of trump' in the White House, we need something better.. PeteForAmerica

THINK Fact: Grandpa Bernie's vision will destroy America

THINK Why even have a primary? Oh yea we still need to vote, now on to who we want not NBC.

THINK Wrong

THINK So can Elizabeth Warren. You remember her, right?

THINK Trump 2020.

THINK No he can’t and the establishment knows it.

THINK Losers

THINK Opinions are like rectums. Everyone has one.

THINK Bahahahahahahahahahahahahah

THINK Um no. I ain't voting for no fuckin BernieSanders

THINK It's working.....

THINK I really don’t think so. No one wants a socialist in office but I am convinced Mike can beat him. Mike has my vote!

THINK No, don’t think so. Bloomberg making run because he will appeal to more GOP voters in the privacy of the voting booth.imo

THINK The guy who thinks this is a mental patient in waiting. Sanders will keep most people home on the left and would energize the right and the Independents

THINK This is the most ridiculous article.

THINK NBC HOW is HIS Sincerely MS Gary

THINK

THINK Hahaha.. Riiiiiiiiiiiiight. Sanders is an idiot and has no chance at beating Trump. I encourage Democrats to nominate this buffoon. It'll take two seconds to expose this imbicil during a proper debate.

THINK No. He can't.

THINK No he can’t they are going to vote for a socialist it will 4 more years of Trump

THINK Keep thinking that.

THINK Did you mean vision for Somalia? Please correct your typo

THINK If he runs in student debt elimination alone, he will win. A whole generation is drowning in debt and Trump has hired a Betsy Devos to make it worst.

THINK Liberal is liberally putting it. XP

THINK Unfortunately.. it’s the electorates and it doesn’t even matter what the actual Americans vote for. Electoral votes are only to the numbers of each state. In the past 30 years, those voters won. Not the American People! Disgrace!😡😡😡

THINK Wishful thinking. But it's fun to dream.

THINK Nope.

THINK In fact he is the only who can and Trump knows it

THINK For someone who depends on the lower class, he seems to be out of touch with reality.

THINK no

THINK Communism is not liberal.

THINK Hey NBC instead of these OpEds maybe you could do your jobs and VET Bernie and not cut him a break like you all did with Trump. The Oppo from Hillary’s campaign is public since it was in the Podesta emails published by Wikileaks. I’m sure you can get the RNC binders too.

THINK jamiepeck has lost All concept of rational thinking,SenSanders will never be president in America,why? Because his is a communist and his platform forgets one important fact, money doesnt grow on trees/someone has to pay/free college, yeah right. Only if youre a refugee

THINK

THINK

THINK The White, 78 year old Bernie Sanders will not be able to shake off the Socialist tag in time for the general election. A tag that will turn off most moderates & Independents in the swing states. Bernie Sanders cannot beat Donald Trump. Period.

THINK NO HE CAN'T! NOT THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE!

THINK Zero chance Bernie becomes President.

THINK Liberal? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Try extreme socialist! My mother who is a leftist, is DEFINITELY NOT voting for him! I will be voting for Trump2020Victory , there are A LOT of Democrats that will not vote for him. A MAJORITY of the baby boomers.

THINK 💯 yep Bernie 2020

THINK If only he had a “liberal vision” instead of his socialist vision

THINK Yup he can cause he has more support than trumps cult realizes.

THINK Not in a million years do I believe this.

THINK BernieSanders VISION TO AMERICA

THINK Until he has another heart attack

THINK Bullshit .....

THINK Trump feels secure with Bernie!

THINK HE HAS YET TO EXPERIENCE THE EXTREME VETTING THAT THE FEMALE CANDIDATES RECEIVE.

THINK Keep thinking that 😝 A Communist will never get as many votes as Hillary did.

THINK Liberal vision is not enough in this election.

THINK General is the focus of my primary vote. Without senate and house, nothing will pass. Vote wisely. Lot of experience needed to clean up the carnage. Or 4 more 👑. End of USA.

THINK

THINK No. He can’t even convince enough Dems

THINK

THINK No. He can't.

THINK There are three states that matter. It is not a democratic process. Three states.

THINK The putschist!

THINK Dream on

THINK no disguising who nbc/msnbc supports for president.

THINK

THINK this not true people biden dose not sanders

THINK NeverTrump NeverBernie Two sides of the same coin.

THINK Lol MAGA

THINK Russia and China will win if Bernie becomes the president, he will abandon NATO and western allies, which is worse than what Trump is doing. Both Trump and Bernie have the similar ideology on trade and globalisation.

THINK Vision means nothing for any democrat without the senate. Reminder, Bernie is not a democrat.

THINK He’s going to get absolutely slaughtered in the general and doom the nation to another term of this mentally ill maniac.

THINK Won’t release his medical records. Won’t disclose top vp choices even though we may also be voting for his successor. Potential President Gabbard? Hard pass.

THINK Well it’s a good thing they know it because nobody else does

THINK If Bernie or Bloomberg win, can we finally admit that America is run by Jews?

THINK Yes, a communist dictatorship is what we need!

THINK 😂

THINK It's weird that the right has been attacking Sanders as such. I wonder if they do that on purpose to get their problems solved.

Bernie Sanders' path to the nomination was blazed by Trump 4 years ago“Right now, unless Warren gets her mojo back, Bernie [Sanders] has the best path where the Democratic middle is muddled,” CNN’s smerconish says after the New Hampshire primary and ahead of the Nevada caucuses. smerconish We have all of this handwringing while 95% of dem delegate contests are in front of us, not behind us. What these guys should really be discussing is how to get rid of anyone who isnt polling at 5% or better nationally, cuz they realistically have zero path forward. smerconish Men have gotten shorter.....Tall men marry short women, short men marry tall. And, most of the actors in Hollywood are petite. Only because the camera 🎥 makes them look bigger. When a actress is tall, they keep themselves underweight to look smaller. Kidman smerconish nothing changes with the Demo=RATS
