What would a Sanders floor be?

[DS0816]

His floor would be a shutout.  If this country has any brains whatsoever, they would not even think about voting for a socialist.

They have before. So, the real problem is that any of it that still happens today is with providing a different form of socialism that props up wealthy corporations and industries. It appears that this is exactly what you are wanting.

I wonder if Sanders would lose Connecticut, nothing would drive rich Fairfield county gold coasters back into he welcoming arms of the GOP then the Democrats nominating an actual socialist.

They already have

Dems would risk losing working class Italian/Irish voters in New England who are not quite as liberal

I honestly think Sanders would be able to appeal to them.

Lol at thinking there's an actual Irish or Italian voting block anymore.

Yeah this forum has some weird obsession with identity politics and seems to think any demographic you can name votes as a block based on that demographic no matter how integrated.

Sanders used to be a carpenter so he may have worked on floors.

There is NO way these states (except MAYBE NH) would vote Republican in 2016. Just not happening, guys.

If a state might vote Republican, it's not part of the floor.

Perhaps, but the rich parts of CT are strongly GOP, Sanders can't isolate people who don't support the left anyway.

[JRP1994]

The last time an actual socialist won the Democratic nomination, he got his teeth kicked in. Won 1 state and less than 40% of the vote.

Sanders would do better than McGovern because polarization, but wouldn't do better than Dukakis.

GOP landslide.

Huh? Although Horace Greeley did lose pretty badly, he won 6 states and 43% of the vote

[Stand With Israel. Crush Hamas]

Realistically, if he gets the Democratic party behind him, this is probably what he can expect.

I also think it's probably close to his ceiling against anyone but Paul.

I think that JRP1994 was talking about McGovern or Mondale, neither of whom are anything close to being (democratic) socialists.

Agree with this but under 60% in California and New York plus flip Oregon to >40% DEM.
