There are more posts in this string claiming that the BoBers are the 24% of Democrats (although they use the word, if at all, only grudgingly) who believe in "Pizzagate" that there are people who claim that this absurd result is the product of the poll question being vaguely worded.

It is especially revealing given that 75% of the Democrats who "believed" in "Pizzagate" were HILLARY VOTERS and only 25% were Democrats who failed or refused to vote for Hillary.

Are Hillary supporters more prone to believing fake news . . . ABSOLUTELY NOT . . . are they more prone to looking for any reason to refight the primary . . . well . . .

And, with all of that, the final reason HRC lost was she chose Tim Kaine instead of SBS as VP pick. TheBlackAdder Dec 2016 #19

Comey, Voter suppression, Russia..., all else is guessing uponit7771 Dec 2016 #21

There is no hypothetical, as the need for strict moderation encompassed both primary camps. TheBlackAdder Dec 2016 #39
