Warren Stupidity
(48,181 posts)In both 2008 and 2016 she blew huge initial leads. She will squeak through to the the nomination this time, but she started out 60pts ahead of Sanders. She ought to be blowing Trump out of the water, instead she is trailing him. It is a serious WTF moment and even her most ardent supporters ought to be thinking about why this is happening and what can be done to salvage the situation.

(4,113 posts)We're nearly 6 months away from the elections. A lot can happen between now and November. These Twitter and other polls posted are far from scientific. All these thing do is give the media an excuse to not do their jobs and actually investigate and inform us on the real issues and how the candidates stand on those issues.

(14,255 posts)really only name recognition, about a year and a half ago. Polls, "First Woman President", and a bunch of links to "Stuff Hillary Said at one time or another". Polls were supposed to be the deciding factor, back then.
Now polls are inconvenient, looks like, when they don't go the way one wants.
