How Trump did vs Hillary in 2016 is not raised in this thread. Hillary was the perfect foe for Trump, even though she would have been a terrific President.
Not sure the Democrats have the right moderate candidate to beat Trump. [Edit — Bloomberg???]. The energy is w/ Bernie, and even Warren.
It may not make sense that progressive is the way to go. I remain uncertain whether the math favors playing to the middle vs playing to the energy (knowing Democrats would lose some moderates unwilling for a "big change" type candidate).
We will see how it plays out between tomorrow and Super Tuesday.
All polling consistently shows the Democrats united in their desire to pick whichever candidate is the best matchup to beat Trump. The polling also shows a split as to whether to go moderate or progressive in achieving that objective, but that Democrats are less concerned about progressive v moderate than they are about beating Trump.
