The surge continues. When matched up against GOP front runners, Sanders has a very slim advantage, within the margin of error. Even so there it is and his numbers can and are going up. As of now Hillary's candidacy looks precarious, but will know by super Tuesday if she can pick up a head of steam. But the DWS gang better be very careful in not propping her any further as this will only backfire.

Poll: Sanders has slight edge over Clinton in matchups with GOP opponents

If these polls are right, and they hold up, this race will be over after March 8th and Hillary will be the Democratic nominee. We shall see. If that happens, I'd say start getting used to saying "President Trump". This election will be an anti-establishment wave.

Actually a Sanders nomination probably means a Trump Presidency.

Trump is gong to be the Republican nominee.

I'm convinced that that is a done deal.

And this year the voters are in a major anti-establishment mood.

The Democrats only chance is to put up an anti-establishment candidate too.

If they put Hillary up, she will be toast in the general.

Aren't you worried that Trump might do the same thing to Sanders as he did to Bush?

Bush was the quintessential establishment candidate in an anti-establishment election. That's why Trump has been able to make mincemeat out of him.

Please read my Post #422 again. Sanders has been consistently faring better than Hillary against prospective GOP nominees. But Hillary is ahead of Bernie in the Democratic nomination and how does that make sense? Rigged primaries by the DNC you betcha.

If Super Tuesday was a couple of months away, Hillary will be toast.

Those polls mean nothing 9 months out.

They mean nothing. The only poll that counts are the election results.
