Sanders would ensure the election against Trump would be competitive, Clinton would ensure it would not be.

Are you saying she would lose to Trump because of those ratings? Because going by that metric, Bernie should win in the biggest landslide in history rather than just competitive.

Favorability ratings really are not a good way to predict a race. There are far too many other factors at play.

I never said Trump would beat Clinton.

ok, well that is why i asked. It was ambiguous.

I don't think that she would lose to Trump, but the question is whether she would do better than Sanders. There is no evidence that she would do better, just the mantra that she would, repeated  primarily by Clinton supporters, who can hardly be objective on the matter. All I get is opinion based on gut feelings or intuition. If Clinton supporters want to cite other reasons for supporting to her, I can deal with that, but this one bothers me, because all objective evidence is to the contrary.

True. Personally, I'm on the fence about it. I think his democratic socialist label drags him down with older voters (who are still more numerous than Millennials right now and have higher turnout rates), and his fundraising strategy might fall woefully short in terms of funding a competitive GE campaign. If he were to face Trump, he might not have to worry about that, because Trump looks like he's planning to continue waging an ultra-cheap campaign.

But other than that, I think Sanders would be a formidable candidate. More so than Clinton under the right circumstances.

And I never said Clinton would beat Trump. If you think I am picking one side to win with my comment then your reading into my comment and have no hope of understanding it.

Gotcha. Thanks for being a dick about it.
