Remember when the polling gap between Hillary and Bernie was closing?

[YouDig]

Not any more. Looks like the chair-throwing and death threats and calling respected Democrats sexist slurs are taking a toll on Bernie's numbers. Might be time for Bernie to quit while he's "ahead". The uglier it gets, the more he damages his legacy and whatever changes he was hoping to bring to the party become less likely.

[Gavile]

1. All the way to the Convention

When were the last polls taken anyway? The alleged chair-throwing incident only happened a few days ago.

[YouDig]

2. Good point, the chair throwing and death threats might not even be factored in to these numbers.

[nc4bo]

5. The fight for true democracy can be messy. There have been wars started

And coups based on the fight for democracy.

Stop suppressing the 99%!

[YouDig]

7. This isn't a fight for democracy, it's a fight against democracy.

Hillary got more votes. The chair-throwing people are trying to get the will of the minority elevated over the majority.

[brooklynite]

13. Indeed, the hallmark of Democracy is accepting the outcome when you lose...

[grasswire]

52. says who?

In what world?

[nc4bo]

16. More votes by CORRUPTION, LYING, DECEPTION, CHEATING.

We KNOW what we're up against.

[notadmblnd]

29. If HRC has nothing to worry about, why the hell you still here being your nasty self

Cheating isn't winning and you can make up all the crap you want.

Chair throwing, death threats, my ass. We know the campaign is behind playing her as the victim. Her own damn people pretending to be Sanders supporters. All one has to do is look at how you all are here- to know what you are in real life.

31. +1000

[kaleckim]

34. Are you kidding me?

With all the things that have happened with voting, the clear bias the DNC has had towards Clinton this entire election cycle, what has happened with independents and newly signed up Democrats being denied the vote within your party, you think this has been democratic? The amazing thing is the the horribleness that happened in Vegas was unneeded as she is the likely nominee. Why do such a blatant and poorly thought out thing with her ahead as she is? People are already mad because of the state of the country and the systematic corruption (Clinton's corruption being included in that), how the process has been handled this entire election cycle, then they do that and then antagonize people openly. The establishment in general should get used to people being angry, because they are. Nominating a corrupt person such as Clinton (try arguing otherwise), with her hawkish, center-right record, despite her horrible polling numbers, is not going to lead to people becoming less angry either. If you chalk that up to people being immature or undemocratic then you're not making sense of what is underway. Again though, the Vegas things was heavy handed and stupid. It would make more from a strategic point of view if it were closer and something that undemocratic was a means to eek out a victory. Heavy handed and bone-headed, given the current situation.

3. Manufactured lies that the hacks think if you repeat often enough will be taken as truth when in

actuality they are still LIES.

[peace13]

4. You kids come here for coffee often!

What a great way to start the day. Divide and conquer might be a better approach. Just sayin'.

[NurseJackie]

6. Things weren't looking very good for Bernie BEFORE all this ...

... and the recent events only serve to damage his campaign and make him even MORE unpalatable. The end of his campaign can't come soon enough for me.

(Alerter: These are my personal opinions and personal observations)

[GreatGazoo]

8. Indiana, Michigan, West Virginia...

[TheFarS1de]

9. Got any video evidence of the chair throwing ?

In a venue filled with cameras where is the video ?

[YouDig]

11. Multiple independent reports from credible news sources.

Got any video evidence of those reporters fabricating the story?

[TheFarS1de]

14. You are the one making the claim .

Now back it up with actual evidence , not heresay .

[YouDig]

17. Outside your conspiracy bubble, multiple independent news reports constitute evidence.

[TheFarS1de]

18. And video is King .

Any video in a venue filled with cameras ?

[YouDig]

19. You can always find an excuse to deny inconvenient facts. I'm not impressed.

[TheFarS1de]

20. In a venue filled with cameras where is the video ?

I don't care if you are impressed , does not that very fact bother you that in a venue filled with cameras there is apparently no recorded evidence ?

[YouDig]

21. Doesn't bother me at all. Feel free to speculate if you want.

My guess is that the Bernie people who shot those other videos shut down the cameras when the chair throwing started. But who knows. What we do know is that death threats were issued and chairs were thrown.

[TheFarS1de]

23. If I felt free to speculate ...

I would get a job as a reporter for Washington Post ... or Brock . Good to see how low you standards of proof are .

[YouDig]

25. NYT, WP, AP, others. Everywhere a conspiracy?

Why do you think so many independent news outlets reported it if it didn't happen? Do you think the death threats were made up too? Do you think the video of calling Barbara Boxer a bitch was doctored?

How deep does this conspiracy go?

[grasswire]

54. link? nt

[YouDig]

56. Google helps.

26. The reporter's third cousin married a woman whose brother is a first year analysts at Goldman Sachs

It's all rotten, I tell you!

[frylock]

45. Multiple independent news reports are likely using a single partisan "eyewitness"

Where's the video?

[YouDig]

47. I'm sure that's true in your world. And in your world Bernie has more delegates.

[frylock]

49. What's true in my world is that you can't produce any substantial evidence.

Sure, there were "eyewitnesses", just like there were "eyewitnesses" to Bernie bros chanting "English only". Of course, when video of that incident was released, it was proven to never have happened. In any case, where's the video of the chair throwing?

[YouDig]

50. And also that Bernie's winning, right? Who do you think has more delegates?

Cmon, you can admit it, you think it's Bernie, right?

[notadmblnd]

30. Apparently there isn't one clinton supporter with the skills to use a phone camera.

[Vinca]

10. I hate to rain on the parade, but has anyone seen the Clinton/Trump numbers today?

I'm afraid there will come a time Democrats will be sorry for what they've done to Bernie.

[YouDig]

12. "What they've done to Bernie" is not vote for him. He's not entitled to any votes, you know.

He had to earn them, and he didn't.

[brooklynite]

15. And by "what they've done" you mean: "not voting for him"?

[Vinca]

22. Come on, Hillary people. Surely 6 or 7 more of you can give the same response.

[Gavile]

24. Smeared him

Hillary could never defeat Bernie on the issues, so Hillary's campaign had to lie about Bernie.

[woolldog]

37. The hell are you talking about?

He's gone completely unscathed this primary, despite there being a lot of material out there she could use. She's hardly talked about him at all.

[Gavile]

38. From day one, Bernie was accused of being everything

From a racist to a sexist to a rapist. Brock had all his talking points pre-prepared it seems.

[Attorney in Texas]

27. Garbage in, garbage out. The live landline and cell polls of likely voters show a 1% difference.

[YouDig]

35. Poll truthing huh? How's that working out for Bernie?

[Attorney in Texas]

36. Do a little research if you want. The likely voter polls are more accurate than the adult polls or

registered voter polls. Also, the live phone polling is the state-of-the-art polling method. Don't take my word for it; get off your ass and look into the issue for yourself. It is not "poll truthing" - it's simply a matter of best practices.

You may have noticed that the polls have varied widely and many have been wildly inaccurate. This is largely because there has been a flood of cheap-to-produce buy wildly inaccurate polling by unproven methodologies.

[morningfog]

28. Oh calm down. Three weeks til the last big vote.

Bernie won't be leaving between now and then. Save your pearl clutching and fairing couch.

[cantbeserious]

32. Ever More Establishment FUD - Sad That The DNC Has Resorted To These Rovian Tactics

eom

[stonecutter357]

33. K&R!

[ViseGrip]

39. Hillary's camp caused this with NO RULES ADOPTED. Who wouldn't stand up?

Hillary's camp is folding right under her.....

[YouDig]

40. That graph shows which camp is "folding" all right. So do the delegate totals. Have you checked

them recently? Is it 285 more for Hillary? Gotta love it!

[MariaThinks]

41. good

[MoonRiver]

42. Since Bernie hasn't denounced these tactics,

I can only believe he agrees with them. And that is despicable.

[frylock]

44. Brocktacular repitition of brockagandist talking points "chair-throwing and death threats"

If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.

[YouDig]

46. Bernie tried the "repeat the lie" thing, but it's not working anymore.

His supporters have just gotten too ugly.

[frylock]

48. We can agree that you repeating the lie is not working.

Look at that! Common ground. Ebony and ivory.

[YouDig]

51. You seem to consider math a "lie". Very strange world of yours.

[frylock]

53. Here's some math for you.

1 year of investigating Hillary + <12 Federal Agents = 0 White House.

[YouDig]

55. The email fairy! Yes, she's coming to save you. Any day now...

[frylock]

57. Yep, any day now!

I can hardly contain myself!
