17. Popular?

Popular is irrelevant when it’s regarding Hillary Clinton. But it’s not irrelevant when crowds show up for Bernie Sanders. OK – got it.

People also mention when Hillary starts (finally, they say) talking about the issues, she’ll start losing her support. Guess what – she is talking issues and she’s still popular.

I saw a poll over the weekend where Bernie was now at 15% but the pollster also said Hillary had INCRESASED her numbers. Seems both gained at the expense of others.

Also I noticed when O’Malley got into the race, the headlines were something to the effect – “A Second Person to Challenge Hillary Clinton.” Why not - “A Second Person to Challenge Bernie Sanders?”

You don’t like Hillary, fine – but quit trashing her.

It’s true – the more folks pile on, the more I dig in for Hillary!
