Turnout by those 65 and older is about twice that of younger voters.

Will younger voters actually turn out to vote in the 2020 primary and then the general election?

I said so what, mostly because what I heard was at best a very weak endorsement. I have no doubt he admires some parts of socialist and communist doctrine, I just don’t think he IS one, because he’s smart enough to know better.

I don’t care for Bernie, but given enough time, I’m pretty sure I could come up with a list of impressive attributes for any dictator.

And yet your hero, the Orange Menace, is budgeting $60 billion for the DofE this fiscal year.

Personally I think Trump would rather take on Bernie and polls show that most Americans would never vote for a candidate that they considered socialist. Biden is more probelematic as he could take some Trump areas such as his native Pennsylvannia,.

Some card carrying Democrats might vote for Sanders as their candidate however these Democrats don't represent the US as a whole.

As for the other candidates, Biden is just creepy and like Bernie is really old, whilst Bloomberg comes across as some kind of East Coast snob, who hates farmers and the Trump heartlands. However unlike Warren and Sanders, Bloomberg is a capitalist through and through and is a shrewed business man, who would not seek to impose many of the extreme leftwing politics of some of the other candidates.

Poll: Americans Won't Vote for a Socialist - US News

Most Americans would vote against socialist candidate for President, poll find - NY Post

Less Than Half in U.S. Would Vote for a Socialist for President - Gallup

Bernie has shades of Corbyn in the UK, and look what happened to Corbyn and the Labour Party, they suffered their worst defeat since 1935.

The fun part is they probably think they are being original.
