2016 Postmortem
Showing Original Post only (View all)Polls, both recent and in the past several months, show that the majority of Americans prefer [View all]
Sanders over Clinton to be president. It is true that Clinton is ahead of Sanders in the Democratic
Presidential Primaries thus far, but I think this is because The DNC wants Clinton to win,
and they have been showing unfair and sometimes rigged practices that have been
favoring Clinton ever since Sanders declared his candidacy for the presidency in May, 2015,
and the job of the DNC is to remain neutral.
The latest national poll from the Hill (Thurs. A.M.) shows Sanders and Clinton to be tied:
Sanders 49% - Clinton 48%.

And for months hypothetical elections between Sanders vs Republicans and Clinton vs Repubs.,
Sanders has never lost to any of them, and he has been beating Republicans by larger margins
than Clinton did.
Clinton has been losing to some Republicans. Sanders never lost to any of them.
Looking at the above information objectively, it would seem that Sanders would stand
a better chance of winning over the Republicans, because more of the American people
favor Sanders as president. Only the DNC and the Clinton supporters favor Clinton.
I am wondering if the DNC is blind to the above? Do they realize that even if Clinton
should win the Democratic primaries, she stands a better chance of losing to the
Republicans in the General Election, and Sanders has a better chance of winning?
I realize polls are not all too accurate, but to some degree they do show in which
direction things are leaning.
