Does Bernie Sanders Really Have a Shot?

Do you think he has a chance? Oh absolutely. Bernie Sanders? You really do? Okay well let me ask you this. You want to be a postcard attack? Absolutely I do. Now let me ask you this. Who of the Democrats do you foresee really beating him? Beating Trump? No no no beating Bernie in the primary. Well it's a good question right? It's a very good question. He's got a lot of support for sure. But Elizabeth Warren seems to have a lot of support right now too. Okay so that's your answer right? Elizabeth Warren? Yeah I would say well Joe Biden's fucked. He's too old but old in the wrong way. Like his communication skills have eroded. He flubs his words. He looks exhausted. He looks like he's just waiting for them to shut the door so he can take a big deep breath and sink into the couch. You know what I'm saying? Oh I know exactly what you're saying. Sometimes I feel bad because it appears like he genuinely has cognitive decline. Oh he does. So I don't like to make fun of it. But then when he goes out there in the debate and he starts like angrily ranting and he says you know we got to play the record player at night. Make sure the kids hear words. That made less than no sense man. What are you doing? You got to wrap it up. Did you know that his people are actually, they have a plan. It's called like a limited exposure or limited visibility campaign where Joe they are literally like hiding him from the public as much as possible. Well they have to. They have to. Because he's still close to the lead right? Oh in some polls he's still leading. That is hilarious. But see and here's the thing and this is what I was going to get to in relation to Bernie. I call the support for Biden default support. So default support is people who don't necessarily follow politics that closely but they might be a registered Democrat and they're asked hey who do you support in the 2020 election? I don't know who's running. Oh Biden, oh I know Biden. He was the VP of Obama. Sure. Yeah Biden why not. That's the kind of support I think Joe Biden has. Where that is very very likely to kind of dwindle away and we're seeing it right now because when you look at the fundraising numbers Bernie is breaking all records when it comes to individual donations even out raising Trump and Trump's a beast on the campaign trail. He's nothing to mess around with on the campaign trail. But he's even out raising Trump when it comes to individual donations. His ground game is airtight. He's got people everywhere making phone calls knocking on doors getting involved and so he has basically an endless well of small individual donor support and an army of people on the ground whereas Joe Biden is doing so bad that he went back on his pledge like oh I won't take super PAC money. Now he's saying well if somebody were to make a super PAC and it were to help me out what do you want me to tell you? Because he raised nine million dollars in the last quarter. Bernie raised 30 and Joe raised nine. You are so Bernie happy. Look at you. Well I love politics. I love talking about politics and explaining everything. I know you do but you're so Bernie happy. Well yeah because Joe he's a he's an amazing candidate who's just trying to get the US to have social democracy and he's a guy who I know because his record shows it he's going to fight for all of us even if you don't agree with him and even if you dislike him I understand that you might be somebody who's right leaning he's too far left for you but what everybody has to say and they know it's true is he's incredibly honest and he's actually going to fight for you every step of the way. Yes no I think you're right and talking to him he's a very sincere guy and I think a lot of his policies I agree with. I really really agree with this whole the exoneration of student loan debt. That to me is a giant factor in a lot of poor decision making that a lot of young people make because they're fucked because they have this massive debt hanging over their head. It's a huge source of stress and I think it's a rigged system. I think it's dirty. It's a dirty system. Yeah. The Medicare for all I think is a wonderful idea as long as you can seek you know very talented orthopedic surgeons if you got some money. Always pick your doctor. You know because you got to there's a certain incentive right that I think that certain doctors have towards excellence right and a lot of that incentive is financial and they're the doctors that are the very best in certain particular fields they want to charge more money for their services and I think that that should be okay. That's one of the things that helps make people more enthusiastic about excellence. It's financial reward. It's a part of human nature. No absolutely. And that's what one of the things that people despise about the concept of socialism is that it's going to somehow or another by you know making sure that no one makes any more money than anybody else which is like the most extreme. Well that's like authoritarian communism. Yes. Yes. But that's some I don't agree with that at all. I don't either. And people who I talk to who are my friends on the left they don't agree with that at all and one of the things that we get most annoyed with is when there's like a conflation people will look at the former Soviet Union. People will look at Venezuela. People will look at Cuba and they'll go hey well there's that's what you want and that's what they say to us and whenever we respond no man we're talking about social democracy we're talking about what they have in Scandinavia. There's usually no substantive rebuttal to that. Other than to say and what's funny Joe is they will take credit for those systems in some ways. So it depends if you talk to Ben Shapiro on one day he might say no no no Joe those systems are so good because they're capitalist to an extent. Okay. And then if I fire back at Ben and I go okay Ben then let's implement that style of capitalism he'll switch it and say no no there's socialist so we can't do that. Okay. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So.
