Inevitability or Electability? Sanders Reminds Voters He's Most Likely To Trounce Trump

As the dust settled after the weekend's primary contests, Bernie Sanders reminded voters that—despite the corporate media seizing on the narrative of an "inevitable" Clinton vs. Trump match-up—he remains the country's best chance of stopping the billionaire leading the Republican primary race.

"If you want a candidate who is going to defeat Donald Trump, you’re looking at him," Sanders told a crowd of 5,200 in Greenville, S.C. on Sunday.

"There would be nothing that would give me greater pleasure than in fact beating Donald Trump," he added.

Recent polling has shown Sanders outperforming his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton against all Republican contenders. When matched against Trump, the senator from Vermont is up 48 to 42 percent, which is a much wider margin than Clinton's 44 to 43 percent lead on the GOP frontrunner.

Meanwhile, the two Democratic contenders remain neck-in-neck in national polls.

Despite these figures, after Clinton squeezed out a slim 52.6 to 47.3 percent victory in the Nevada caucus on Saturday, the corporate media has increasingly accepted as fact a Clinton-Trump general election.
