Despite all the free media, Trump's rally was only half-full, and this in Alabama. [View all] Mass Aug 2015 OP

There are crowds, and then there are rent-a-crowds 99th_Monkey Aug 2015 #1

Everyone, including Rachel Maddow, seems to be obsessed with crowd size, but never mention how.... Tarheel_Dem Aug 2015 #2

I am kinda over the size thing in general. Raine1967 Aug 2015 #3

You're not alone. Crowds don't elect a nominee as Howard Dean & his chief strategist will attest. Tarheel_Dem Aug 2015 #8

You would not be saying this if HRH HRC got the crowds Bernie gets nt LiberalElite Aug 2015 #15

You're assuming that I care about such things. You shouldn't "assume", and you know why. Tarheel_Dem Aug 2015 #19

Uh...no. Fawke Em Aug 2015 #5

Yeah, now pull the other one. If you're picking out a few pics with black faces, look what I found. Tarheel_Dem Aug 2015 #6

What is so amusing that you mock another democrat? gabeana Aug 2015 #7

When did BS become a Democrat? Tarheel_Dem Aug 2015 #9

Are you one of those, who sadoldgirl Aug 2015 #11

I don't care what he or his "supporters" say or do, but that's just me. Tarheel_Dem Aug 2015 #18

I've been spending my time here ... Trajan Aug 2015 #27

Funny, I did the same thing. Makes DU so much better. Au Revoir. Tarheel_Dem Aug 2015 #29

When he decided to caucus with Dems, since like forever gabeana Aug 2015 #12

BS is not a Democrat, no matter who he caucused with, and neither is Angus King. Big diff. Tarheel_Dem Aug 2015 #16

Not a democrat but he is running for democratic nomination gabeana Aug 2015 #23

So you're comparing Hillary with Strom Thurmond & George Wallace? And BS' black street cred, Tarheel_Dem Aug 2015 #25

No not at all gabeana Aug 2015 #30

Liberal or not, I can't stand him. Tarheel_Dem Aug 2015 #32

Ok now I get it, it really has nothing to do with being a "real " Dem gabeana Aug 2015 #35

What other elected "Democrat" was calling to primary the President's 2012 re-election? Tarheel_Dem Aug 2015 #36

Well if you are only putting the parameters to 2012 gabeana Aug 2015 #37

My point is that I do not support the Socialist from VT. How's that? Plain enough? Tarheel_Dem Aug 2015 #39

No Shit gabeana Aug 2015 #41

"Charade"? It's a charade to say BS isn't a Democrat? Show me. And FYI, he's not a liberal either. Tarheel_Dem Aug 2015 #43

Whats a liberal to you then? gabeana Aug 2015 #45

BS is no threat to HRC. The Obama coalition wins elections, liberals don't. BS' own words --->>> Tarheel_Dem Aug 2015 #54

Yes he is a threat can just tell by your responses gabeana Aug 2015 #68

It didn't "take me a day", but I do have a life. Bernie's getting the Nader types, which are no.... Tarheel_Dem Aug 2015 #72

Your just throwing out stuff you can't prove gabeana Aug 2015 #74

The winner of NH in 2008, went on to lose the presidency. NH & IA are 90%+ caucasian. Tarheel_Dem Aug 2015 #75

So, you support Corporatists. Fawke Em Aug 2015 #51

Democrats. I'm a Democrat who supports the Democratic Party, not interlopers. Got that? Tarheel_Dem Aug 2015 #56

So... you want the same side of the coin? Fawke Em Aug 2015 #65

How about Think Progress instead? Same article just not Michelle Malkin's HotAir.com RW site: think Aug 2015 #60

My pocketbook can't stand HER. Fawke Em Aug 2015 #66

He's a better Democrat than a Wall Street sell-out. Fawke Em Aug 2015 #64

Still not a Democrat, and shouldn't be running on the Democratic ticket. Tarheel_Dem Aug 2015 #71

When he announced his candidacy he became a Democrat short circuit Aug 2015 #52

Nope. He didn't. Tarheel_Dem Aug 2015 #57

Go on, keep denying that fact. short circuit Aug 2015 #59

Greenville, SC is thirty percent black. Sanders did not draw many black people to his rally there. MADem Aug 2015 #46

His are paid. Fawke Em Aug 2015 #50

You can probably make that accusation about any candidate, including BS. LINK? Thanks in advance. Tarheel_Dem Aug 2015 #55

The pictures I posted were from real world people on Twitter. Fawke Em Aug 2015 #61

Oops! Tarheel_Dem Aug 2015 #69

Something else for you to chew on. Tarheel_Dem Aug 2015 #10

It is bed time, okay? sadoldgirl Aug 2015 #17

Attacking me doesn't change the content of the article. What's your point? Tarheel_Dem Aug 2015 #21

I don't attack anyone, but you sadoldgirl Aug 2015 #22

Still don't know what your point is. Trump is a sideshow, what does that have to do with what we... Tarheel_Dem Aug 2015 #24

538 used to be the best, but Nate left. Fawke Em Aug 2015 #62

So 538 is unreliable now? Tarheel_Dem Aug 2015 #70

Sanders gets raucous, but mostly white welcome in South Carolina as he works for black support MADem Aug 2015 #33

The last SC poll I saw showed BS down by 50 pts. That's a lot of ground to make up, especially Tarheel_Dem Aug 2015 #42

He's not connecting. Fiery speeches aren't enough. There's no record, that's the problem. MADem Aug 2015 #47

He's connected. Fawke Em Aug 2015 #63

If Trump were appearing in your town this evening, would you have gone? I sure would have, and MADem Aug 2015 #26

According to M$M, crowd size has become the new barometer/substitute for scientific polling? Tarheel_Dem Aug 2015 #28

Crowd size is meaningless--especially at this stage of the game. MADem Aug 2015 #31

"I have given up on watching opinion TV". That makes two of us. I still watch MHP religiously, but Tarheel_Dem Aug 2015 #34

RM knows where the bread comes from, she knows what to do with the butter, too. MADem Aug 2015 #38

I get that it's mainly political junkies who are tuning in to MSNBC these days, hence the awful.... Tarheel_Dem Aug 2015 #40

I don't think MSNBC is going anywhere--they're coming up on Year 20 next year. MADem Aug 2015 #44

You're probably right. The "opining" seems to be what people tune in for. GAG. Like you, I prefer Tarheel_Dem Aug 2015 #53

Clinton is dead on the email issue. Fawke Em Aug 2015 #67

I read it was less than the 30,000 CNN reported. Fawke Em Aug 2015 #4

Mississippi is just 30 minutes away. Louisiana only about 90 minutes. (nm) Elwood P Dowd Aug 2015 #13

Correct, it was about 20,000 racist rednecks. You can't believe everything you read or hear. L. Coyote Aug 2015 #58

OF COURSE the bleachers behind him LiberalElite Aug 2015 #14
