Michael Bennet: I Doubt Very Much Bernie Can Win a General Election

EXCERPT:

BENNET: "I think it's important I’m the only person in the race that’s won two national elections in a purple state in Colorado. If you read 'The New York Times' this week you saw Mitch McConnell taking a victory lap after the impeachment. And what Mitch McConnell was saying was I didn’t withhold documents, I didn’t withhold witnesses, they didn’t have the votes. And he said they need to win elections. And as much as I can’t stand his — what he’s been doing and as much as I wouldn’t want anybody I know to be as cynical or malevolent as Mitch McConnell, he’s right about that. We have to win elections. We need to win a majority in the Senate. We have to do it. And to do that, we’ve got to win purple states. And I think Bernie is well set up to win a Democratic primary maybe. I doubt very much that he can win a general election in these purple states."
