Could Sanders win the general election?

He is an outright Marxist. Who outside of Russia, China and North Korea would vote for him?
 
If he will audit the Fed, or at least be very, very critical toward the Fed(emasculate them), I'll vote for him.
 
Care to site where he advocates for state control of resources and production?

Yes, he is a self described democratic socialist according to his website. The origins of this are the Democratic Socialist of America is a movement to eliminate capitalism by evolving a social order based on popular control of resources and production. He advocates this by the very party he belongs to.

Cool so your proof is some implying. It would take several presidents, a socialist house, and a socialist senate to make this country move to communism. Probably some communist judges would be needed as well.

And probably someone other than Bernie. He probably isn't socialist enough to work is towards communism. Being that's subscribes to European democratic socialism.

Health care for one. It's designed to be turned into single payer. Student loans for another. Govt owns that business now.

Right that socialist health insurance assistance buying ACA. So much socialism. I wish I had your optimism about to turning into single payer. Student loans to go towards paying colleges paid back with interest. Oh the socialism.

How many more TARPs and Bailouts does one administration want.

At some point you need to show some results before you ask for another blank check.
What do temporary bailouts have to do with the perpetual need to fund education, roads, and getting big money out of politics?

It's funny to see grown people get scared by words like "Marxist."

Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-MARXISM!.

We do have a perpetual fun for education and infrastructure. Do you doubt this?

The American tax payer is tiered of hearing about education/infrastructure money disappearing and then politicians dragging out the same complaints.

8 years.

Trillions of dollars.

When are we going to get results?

You cannot get big money out of politics by making government bigger.

Big Corporations and Big Government are tied hand in hand. If you want to shrink corporate influence, you need to shrink government.

We already have a socialist in office another wont get elected plus when Jumpin Joe announces he is in around Labor Day no one will care.
 
Let's just suppose for a moment that for whatever reason, Hillary doesn't emerge as the Dem. nominee. Let's also suppose it's Sanders. Could he win in a general election?

Some are saying no because he's too old, he's a socialist, he doesn't have enough of a base outside of wealthy white liberals, etc.

I tend to disagree with this and think he actually could win. At worse, he probably has a built in consituency in a general election against a Republican of at least 45% (maybe higher). I also don't think the word socialist scares people like it used to. Most people probably don't really even know what it means and if Sanders runs on an even more robust entitlement society, that will appeal to a lot of people.
Each party has that 45% built in start. For the record, it would be very hard for him to win

Why? Let's assume that he can get past Hillary. That's a big if. But let's say he does it. How does the Republicans come up with enough votes? They're tanking with Hispanic, blacks, and women. Who's left? White males? You tell me. How does the GOP get enough votes? Where do they come from?
