(504 posts).....the polls tell a different tale.
And don't say that the polls don't matter at this point, cuz they do..... more so than other election cycles.
Most people already are very familiar with Trump or Clinton. Given the horrendous lack of media coverage for Sanders, I think most would go to him if he's still in the race as a third option.
Sorry that we want options rather being told to fall in line....

(28,581 posts)And I think Trump might be able to use propaganda in relation to the years of baggage (even undeserved baggage) surrounding her to sway the uninformed.
We live in a land of Kardashians, Jersey Shore, Real Housewives and The Apprentice. The population has a short attention span and very little intellectual curiosity.

(11,972 posts)In the Dem primaries, Hillary had high favorables. In the general, Trump has low favorables. Hillary was the tough opponent for Bernie. If he could have gotten past her, Donald would have been a piece of cake.

(5,191 posts)They are similar in that people are fed up with business as usual in DC. Hillary epitomizes the Washington insider, and while I would vote for her over Trump, Sanders would be a stronger candidate.
