    Actually Bernie Sanders was outperforming Hillary Clinton in head-to-head matchups against Trump poll after poll.

        She polled among the general population alongside Bernie Sanders.

        If Sanders outperforms Hillary with the general population against their competitor, then they are not “alongside” — Sanders is, in fact, ahead.

          Got it so if you had a list of the top 5 candidates and Bernie were in the list then you would get really upset that somebody claimed he was top 5 and not top 1 or 2?

            Buddy, I was just adding context and it seems you took it personally or something. Yous aid alongside and I clarified that Sanders was performing better. Just facts. That’s all.
