    And I personally agree with that with one caveat not to be a president, but to be electable. While he was popular on the left, I think he would not pull independence/centrist and would lose election.

      He polled 7 points better against Trump than Hillary did in 2016. Although that being said, it seems pretty well accepted that the polling was pretty unreliable in 2016.

        That’s true in the sense people believe it and “accept” it…

        But it’s not accurate in the respect that polls were/are unreliable.

        The margins that predicted a Clinton victory were smaller than margin of error.

        Everyone that knew anything about statistics kept trying to point that out, they just kept getting shouted down and accused of being a trump supporter.

        Literally the same that’s happening now with current polls.

        It’s just people ignoring what doesn’t agree with them, and then refusing to accept responsibility for ignoring all the warning signs.

      You left out article “the” in last sentence, comrade.
