Sanders vs. Rubio

[Negusa Nagast 🚀]

I love this racist line of thinking from the pubs on this forum. Rubio = hispanic, therefore hispanics will vote for him. Rubio only has a 23% favorable rating from Hispanics at large and many of his positions are anathema to them.

Mmhmm - Rubio ain't winning the Latino vote, even against Sanders.

Rubio/Kasich 281 EV
Sanders/Baldwin 257 EV

Thats exacley how it looks but Rubio would win Iowa and Wisconsin (imo). The electorate is so divided that the Dems are guaranteed to win all of the Kerry states (except MAYBE New Hampshire and Wisconsin). Same with the GOP being guaranteed to win all of the Romney states (except MAYBE NC).

Sanders isn't going to lose New Hamsphire to a conservative, pro-life Hispanic Republican.

My map:

Sanders: 240 EV
Rubio: 298 EV

I don't see why the Hispanic part would hurt Rubio in NH, but otherwise I agree.

[Extrabase500]

Rubio 57% - Sanders 42%

Rubio wins hispanics, narrows the gap with blacks

No way would MARCO AMNESTY win the hispanics, despite his openly pro-amnesty stance. The GOP won't reach the level of hispanics McCain got % wise.

They ain't gona vote for him just cause hes hispanic everytime the GOP does that they fail.

[Former Senator Haslam2020]

Sen. Marco Rubio/Gov. John Kasich: 305
Sen. Bernie Sanders/Sen. Elizabeth Warren: 233

[Kingpoleon]

306: Sen. Marco Rubio(R-FL)/Gov. Susanna Martinez(R-NM) - 52.1%
232: Sen. Bernie Sanders(D-VT)/Sen. Amy Klobuchar(D-MN) - 45.9%

Rubio.

Sanders is a terrible candidate.

[I support Sanders]

306: Sen. Marco Rubio(R-FL)/Gov. Susanna Martinez(R-NM) - 52.1%
232: Sen. Bernie Sanders(D-VT)/Sen. Amy Klobuchar(D-MN) - 45.9%

You really think Bernie would lose New Hampshire to Marco?

[Stand With Israel. Crush Hamas]

Sanders is uniquely qualified to win New Hampshire, even against Rubio. That doesn't make it close, though.

Essentially, if Sanders can beat Rubio in anything but a Democratic mega-wave, the Republicans are incapable of winning a Presidential election. I doubt that's the case.

People here are exaggerating the number of swing voters left in America. They're a steadily shrinking slice. People are also exaggerating the extent to which swing voters would go for Rubio, who upon even a little scrutiny, would alienate many of them as much or more than Sanders. This isn't to say Rubio couldn't win, just that Sanders isn't unelectable. And I've said the same about Ted Cruz the other way. Fundamentals matter more than candidates.

Exacley. About 5-8% of the public are swing voters maybe less like 5%. If it was Clinton Vs Cruz, Cruz would win all of the Romney states but maybe lose NC and thats a BIG maybe.

But...but...muh maps/predictions

[Extrabase500]

Rubio 53% 317EV
Sanders 45% 221EV

[Figueira]

Actually, here's my prediction:

Sanders wins 271-267. Rubio tries again in 2020, but the person who designed his logo is fired.
