>> There's always this debate about electability
we need a democrat that's super electable
who can beat Trump.
Well, a new poll indicates that the person
best suited to beat Donald Trump is Bernie
Sanders.
So survey USA asked 4,069 registered voters
nationwide, how they would vote in an election
today if Trump was pitted against each of
the 2020 candidates in the democratic race.
The progressive Vermont independent Bernie
Sanders came out on top.
So 52% of voters would choose Sanders and
43% Trump, giving the veteran senator a nine
point lead.
Next was former Vice President Joe Biden at
50% to Trump's 43%, a seven point lead.
So Bernie Sanders actually outperforms Biden
in this poll, right?
>> Yes.
>> Up against Trump.
Let me give you some more details though.
Tom Steyer is tied with Trump at 44%.
And also Democratic Minnesota Senator Amy
Klobuchar loses to Trump.
I mean that should be a big story, no?
Loses to Trump by two points at 43% to 45%.
Democratic Hawaii Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard
loses to Trump by five points at 39% to 44%.
I think that Amy-
>> But is Buttigieg on there?
>> Buttigieg was on there but everyone beats
Trump, obviously with Bernie leading in with
a larger margin except for Klobuchar, Styer
and Tulsi Gabbard.
So even Yang beat Trump but with a smaller
margin.
>> Yeah.
>> Than Bernie, the person best suited to
beat Trump is Bernie Sanders.
So then there's this new CNN poll, which shows
that Bernie Sanders is now in a statistical
tie with Joe Biden at the very tippy top.
>> Okay, so 27% of registered voters who are
Democrats or Democratic leaning independence
back Sanders while 24% favor Biden.
The margin between the two is within the poll's
margin of sampling error, which means that
they're at a statistical tie.
All right, now both are significantly ahead
the rest of the field, including Senator Elizabeth
Warren at 14% and former South Bend, Indiana
Mayor Pete Buttigieg at 11%.
Former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg lands
at 5% while Minnesota senator Amy Klobuchar
and businessman Andrew Yang each hold 4%,
right.
So Sanders has actually gained seven points
since the last CNN poll, okay.
>> Man.
>> So, he's doing really well.
But, like, we were the first to talk about
how no one likes Bernie Sanders.
Okay, so let's hear more from this ignorant
conversation.
>> I think it's very important for people
to know that Bernie registered to run for
the senate in 2024 as an independent, yet
is running as a democrat for the president.
He is a democrat by default, by default.
>> Wait, you really want him out-
>> They just need to understand that.
>> You want him out.
>> He just, they need to understand that,
>> But this has been my bitch with people
running who are socialists and I love socialists.
But if you're a socialist, find other people,
find your party people in your party to support
you.
Don't say you're democrat and then try to
poop all over the democratic folks.
That's their, they're spouting what they believe
if you believe what you believe, then run
as where you want.
Let us see you.
>> And if we like what you're saying, then
people will vote for you.
But you can't say one thing and then pretend
to be something else and just, but we'll point
you out.
>> I love the socialist too, I've slept with
several.
>> I think that that conversation, it's supposed
to represent the types of political discussions
that occur among women in America.
And I think that that conversation degrades
women.
>> I think that it belittles our intelligence
and our sophistication.
And I'm embarrassed by it.
>> Yeah.
>> And honestly, I'm disappointed in Joy Behar,
what is she doing?
>> Look, she was kind of, I guess, trying
to goof around or something.
>> She was goofing around the whole time,
but-
>> I'm more frustrated with Whoopi Goldberg
there.
>> But this-
>> Especially on a show where Patrick Stewart
comes on and says that she might be invited
on the second season of Picard which got me
all excited.
And then she goes and says that.
Like, the sense of entitlement there, is somehow
star struck.
The sense of entitlement there that the Democratic
Party is whatever we say it is and how dare
you imply that it's something else, even on
a day where you are leading.
Implying that maybe Democratic voters don't
agree with you on what the identity of the
party is, or should be.
And how can a poll like that, it's not a random
nobody poll, it's a CNN poll.
How can that come out and they don't mention
it.
It's a morning show but that poll was available.
How are you gonna come on after a day of saying
Bernie Sanders is unpopular and then double
down on the day when evidence comes out that
directly refutes everything you say.
And should lead to a little bit of soul searching.
>> Yep.
>> That his popularity is not random, you
can learn something from him, something about
his hair.
Or the affinity that birds have for him, there's
something substantive there.
And considering that his base is the young
base, it's the future of the party.
Maybe you should try to understand what is
so appealing to the people that you're gonna
try to appeal to for the next few decades.
>> And also look, Sunny Hostin is actually
a very smart woman and so-
>> I agree.
>> She understands how politics works in America
and how unfortunately we have a two party
system and a third party candidate has no
chance.
That's the system that we're under, right?
So Bernie Sanders, yeah, he's a registered
independent in Vermont.
Guess what?
No one cares.
No one cares other than dishonest actors who
keep citing that as a way to attack him when
the reality is, you should focus on the policies.
And try to understand why his policies are
so popular and why they resonate with so many
Democratic voters.
In fact, let me give you some more information
from that latest CNN poll.
Sanders is also most often seen as the candidate
who agrees with voters on the issues that
matter most to them.
My God, but he's a registered independent,
I can't believe it.
>> Yeah,
>> Let me give you more, 30% say that Sanders
compared with 20% for Biden, 15% for Warren
and 10% for Buttigieg.
And as the candidate who best understands
the problems facing people like you.
29% name Sanders as best on that measure,
18% for Biden, 17% for Warren and 9% for Buttigieg.
People are focused on policies because if
you're not hosting a show like The View and
getting paid a ton of money for essentially
being really bad at your job, you're struggling
to put food on the table for your kids.
And right now there is one candidate who's
doing an excellent job drawing attention to
those issues.
Now today on The View there was an update
on their commentary.
Remember-
>> There was?
>> Yes there was.
>> Okay, good, good.
>> Yeah, Megan McCain was bragging about how
they were first in stating that Bernie Sanders
is unlikable.
But today she spoke very differently of how
the country feels about Senator Sanders.
Take a look.
>> We talked about Hilary Clinton's unfiltered
comments about former rival Bernie Sanders.
Where she said among other things that nobody
likes him and nobody wants to work with him.
Today she's getting a lot of backlash from
some democratic candidates like Andrew Yang.
And so she's not sending a helpful message
and tells Gabriel who says she should quote
grow up, this isn't high school.
But I thought everybody wanted her to be real.
>> Yeah, but then that-
>> She's real and everybody's like shhhh.
>> Yeah.
>> That's an example of how she can't win.
No matter what the woman does, she can't win.
>> Yeah.
>> But maybe she just wants Joe Biden to be
the nominee and not Bernie Sanders.
>> Or maybe she was just mad at Bernie, because
Bernie kinda
>> Now, she's more calculating than that.
>> She said it in the book, well, she said
it in the book.
She said it in the book, this is not In this
beginning, this is not the first time we've
heard this, but you know.
>> And maybe she's being honest and maybe
she's being transparent.
Aren't we as a country tired of this opaqueness
that we're seeing?
Aren't we tired of a lack of transparency?
>> And aren't we just coming off of what happened
with Elizabeth Warren when she went up after
the debate and said, did you just call me
a liar on national television?
It's incredible that the person who's being
accused of lacking transparency is Bernie
Sanders.
>> Yeah
>> In the context of this conversation, it
makes no sense.
There is so much out there proving the consistency
of Bernie Sanders, but more importantly showing
where he stands on the issues, which is the
only thing that should matter.
Have they paid no attention to this election
whatsoever?
You don't like Bernie Sanders because you
don't like his socialist policies, just come
out and say it.
But making things up to justify your disdain
for him, I think is pathetic and cowardly.
And it makes you look ignorant and it sucks
because I don't think that's Sunny Hostin
is ignorant.
I think I disagree with her vehemently when
it comes to Bernie Sanders.
But don't position yourself as this coolest
person who doesn't know what's going on.
You know what's going on.
Be honest with your audience about how you
just don't like Bernie because you don't like
socialist policies and then move on.
>> Yeah, that was such a dishonest game that
they played there.
You all said that she was being fundamentally
inauthentic and not being real.
And she even said back during the 2016 election,
I have a public position on some things and
a private position on those.
And now she says something awful and now you
don't like that either.
Okay, let's be super clear.
Yes, we want people to be authentic, but when
they're authentic, we also don't want them
to be awful.
>> Exactly.
>> Okay, we want two things actually.
You can want more than one thing.
Trump on that Entertainment Tonight bust,
he was being honest and it was terrible.
I want honesty and for you to not be terrible,
I think most people can grasp that.
