Democrats fret as polls show Bernie Sanders surging in early primary states

[TalkRadio_]

A fresh batch of polls show Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) starting the new year with a surge in the 2020 Democratic primary race.

According to the CBS Battleground Tracker survey, Sanders finds himself in a three-way tie with former Vice President Joe Biden and South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg, each at 23 percent, among caucus-goers in Iowa. Sens. Elizabeth Warren (Mass.) and Amy Klobuchar (Minn.) find themselves in a distant fourth and fifth places, respectively

Sanders' electoral resilience is worrisome to Democrats who prioritize beating Trump in the general election above policy and ideological considerations. As a May 2019 poll showed, 65 percent of Democratic voters said that taking back the White House in 2020 was their top concern.

I heard somewhere that those who had a heart attack were more likely to have a second one within a short period of time.

A hate filled man who's never worked a day in his life. If you vote for him, you're voting for his running mate, eek.

Obamaworld hates Bernie—and has no idea how to stop him

Former President Barack Obama’s top lieutenants are eager to poke every conceivable hole in Bernie Sanders’ resurgent bid for the Democratic nomination. But ask about a coordinated effort to stop his ascending campaign and you’ll get crickets.

Less than a month before voting begins, Obama has declined to offer a preferred pick to take on President Trump in 2020, only occasionally waxing philosophical about the perils of moving too far left and reminding voters to be “rooted in reality” when exploring nominee options. But as Sanders gained new flashes of traction in recent weeks, the former president’s lack of official guidance to halt his momentum, and the scattering of his inner circle to rival campaigns, have hampered any meaningful NeverBernie movement.
