A look at the paths to victory against Trump for Sanders, Bloomberg, Biden and others.
As the Democratic contest hurtles toward South Carolina and Super Tuesday, Democrats face a profound choice as to the direction of their party and the personal traits and policy positions of their nominee. In the process, they might also be choosing between very different road maps to beating President Donald Trump in the Electoral College.
Sanders often emphasizes the need for a massive surge of new voters to beat Trump in the fall and pledges he'll expand the electorate left. But there's little evidence he's done that so far in February's contests . That means Sanders' electability versus Trump likely still depends on his ability to win back disaffected blue-collar whites in the Upper Midwest who used to vote for Democrats but didn't take to Clinton in 2016. And that's not to say there wouldn't be tough obstacles: His pledge to ban hydraulic fracturing, for example, could be a serious liability in natural gas-rich western Pennsylvania, an ancestrally Democratic region.
However, Bloomberg's status as a billionaire and an advocate for stricter gun control could be serious liabilities in more rural, populist and anti-elite states such as Michigan and Wisconsin and potentially even Minnesota or Maine.
