      1. I think both Sanders & Clinton can beat Trump but might be worth asking who has a better chance. I'm genuinely not sure.

      2. Advantages Sanders has over Trump are that Sanders would pre-empt most of Trump's appeal to white working class.

      3. To extent Trump has a path to the White House it runs through rust belt hurt by 1990s Bill Clinton trade policies. So plus for Sanders

      4. Doubt I have about Sanders is he's a bit too highminded to wage the kind of dirty, negative campaign you need against Trump.

      5. Also, with Sanders, you'd lose well-to-do Dems who would rather risk madness of Trump than pay for even modest level of social democracy

      6. With Clinton I think her big advantage is her sheer unflappability. Trump is going to go nasty & Clinton has nerves of steel.

      7. Also Clinton is more likely to keep already successful Obama coalition together, mobilize blacks & Latinos, and not lose well-to-do Dems

      8. Gender is also a factor, to Clinton's advantage. Trump can't handle being mocked by a woman. Clinton will get under his skin.

      9. Trump already has a gender gap even WITHIN Republican party (got 16% less female vote in Michigan). Imagine that nationally.

      10. There are 2 things Trump can use against Clinton that he can't against Sanders; trade & foreign policy (Iraq War).

          11. Trump can run to the left of Clinton on trade, against distrusted trade deals.

          12. Trump's claims to have opposed Iraq War are BS, but they speak discontent with that war that he can turn against Clinton's 2002 vote.

          @HeerJeet Would Clinton/Sanders ticket (not that I expect one) combine their strengths or add both their weaknesses?
