did just not enough of them. Hey, if my candidate looked like he was losiing in ANY poll I would take the trouble to go help out. Why does Hillary lose every, single 'non scientific' poll? People are beginning to ask that question.

An enthusiasm problem maybe? I only voted in one of the many polls tonight. But if it looked like I was needed, I would have been there. Why are Hillary's supporters not supporting her in these polls? They have as much chance as anyone else, yet she continues to lose overwhelmingly in 'after the debate' polls of people who actually watched the debates.

Bernie not only gets more pins, his section includes some independent and republican pins.

If we want to win, we'll nominate Bernie. He can garner votes beyond the Democratic base, which we'll need to do to win in the fall.

polls.

The more people get to know him, the more support he gets.

But his numbers are already amazing considering Hillary's massive name recognition to begin with and Bernie's practically zero name recognition just months ago.

Now there should be a cumulative effect as more people are signing up to work for his campaign.

Sorry I just have to plug my state. I have never been prouder of Bernie and all he has done since June.

for someone who was speaking TO them and FOR them, rather than AT them.
