Let's hang in there and see who actually made those calls.

COuld have been:

Trump PEople
Brock People
Camp Weather Vane people
Clinton PAC's
Bernie People (Fringe maybe)

I realize swiftboating Bernie is in vogue at the moment - but lets not stick our footsies in our mouths just yet.

Looking at the trends from multiple polls, it's at 31% and falling, which actually makes sense. Independents are registering as Democrats and Republicans to vote in the primaries.

CNN and Gallup are routinely completely out-of-whack compared to all the other polls.

Looking at the two men and what they've said and fought for, they are clearly different people with different messages.

I tend to ignore what supporters say about candidates and decide on the candidate by the candidate's words and deeds.

What are you really saying? Probably not zilch about platform and policy, but feel free to correct me.

My, the energy that anxiety -- or is it desperation -- induces.
