What do we do after the nomination?

I can see happily continuing the kinds of discussions we have in the Hillary Group, but I also have like interacting in GDP. I always hoped that posting the large number of good articles about Hillary might sway someone's thinking. Is there a place like DU that lets Dems and Republicans spar? Better yet, a place where independents visit?

Robert Reich's request to all of us.

https://www.facebook.com/RBReich/posts/1201350509877543

Reading through many of your comments about today's New York primary, I want to urge that Bernie supporters tone down negative characterizations of Hillary, and Hillary supporters do the same with regard to Bernie. I know both candidates personally. Both are thoughtful and dedicated people who care deeply about this nation. Either of them would be a thousand times better president than any of the Republican candidates. But we will need to join together to ensure one of them becomes president. It's important we not jeopardize that future joint effort through excessive divisiveness now.
What do you think?

Especially when she said "There's no place like home." Seemed totally genuine to me!!!!

Who is responsible for exit polls?

We should sue them for mental anguish! (joke)

But the question isn't a joke. How can exit polls be so wrong (also remember Kerry in NH). When we were approached in our Massachusetts primary, I got the distinct impression that the pollster was operating on behalf of a variety of news organizations. He was the only one there. Do they pool their resources? If so, who are "they?" And, again, how can they be so wrong? They don't have to deal with cell phones and people hanging up.

You heard it first here! My prediction is beginning to come true. :-(

"I'm convinced the Trump is not talking off the top of his head. I think he's scheduled outrageous comments so one appears once every week or two. And once he's won the nomination, watch him become much less outrageous, so there's a chance that he could win the presidency."
