When Polling Data is Corrected for Independents, Hillary vs Trump is a Coin Toss, but Bernie..

...vs Trump is a Win of Historic Proportions

euters polling is great because it allows you to filter down by party preference and other demographics. I discovered they only included 10% Independents, but as we all know, Independents are at least 42% of the voting population (which is why Indiana was a big surprise to the media).

Once the data is corrected, Bernie beats Trump 70% - 30% in the general election and Hillary scrapes by at 50.2% to 49.8%.

1. This sounds like more #BernieMath n/t

2. Independents ultimately lean one way or the other in those polls.

This premise is moronic.

3. There Has Never Been a General Election When Voter Identication was Close to 42%

It Currently is at 31.1% and Democrats are at the highest level since shortly after Obama's 2008 Inauguration at 35.6%

4. What all these fanciful discussions ignore is one simple fact

Sanders has all but lost the Democratic primary.

5. OK, I see what you're saying. And? What's your point?

7. That There is a 99% Chance Sanders Gets ZERO Electoral College Votes

8. I believe "what's your point?" would be more pertinent if I asked this of you

What's the point of these largely fanciful head-to-head Trump-Clinton & Trump-Sanders comparisons? What is your endgame?

1) A last ditch effort to sway voters in the remaining states, even though he'd need 67% in every one?
2) A effort to sway the superdeelgates to jump and vote for Sanders, even though he will not win the pledged delegate count?
3) Just a simple "I told you so!" and/or "You'll rue this day! Rue it!" act?

11. Because if/when Hillary gets indicted before November

Sanders will have to step in and win what she can't

12. So trash the damn thread. You're so confident that you're winning, but you demand silence too?

It's people having--god forbid--a discussion on a discussion board. But no, every one of these threads rapidly fills up with a herd of people saying the same crap over and over: "You're delusional," "It's math," or accusations of secretly hoping for Trump in an effort to kill the conversation. It's always the same handful of bullies too.

Why does mere discussion bother all of you so much you feel like you have to squash it?

6. do #berniemathers realize what a big joke they are?

9. Bargaining.

Creating fear and uncertainty to trade for a Bernie vote. Not buying it ... no deal ... try again.

Or ... just accept reality and move on.
