If he got 78% of the vote against Hillary only, I think that tells you a lot.


Honestly, the primary "field" 4 years ago was so terrible I don't even think you can compare the results either way.


My main point is that is why Bernie or die heads have to snap back to reality. His only competition last time was a historically disliked/distrusted candidate with a ton of baggage, and a politician so terrible they based a villain on The Wire after him.


I am surprised to see Biden so high with Move On members, but damn at the undecided. And I am honestly shocked Bloomberg is on the list at all. He pay people to vote for him?


Booker might want to pack it in already though lol. I just don't see it with dude.


Honestly, the biggest surprise here is Warren to me. I know its just a straw poll, but I wonder if her people are concerned by that.
