Your statistics are wrong. Fresh_Start Aug 2017 #2

What are you looking at? floppyboo Aug 2017 #4

Ahhh...this is 2017 not 2011. And down here we have right-leaning polls and left-leaning ones brush Aug 2017 #11

So where are your numbers? I've looked at them many times and not seen the GOP with that lead. pnwmom Aug 2017 #49

You need to get a better source. Your numbers are wrong. brush Aug 2017 #8

You will not find such a source, because only 31 states enable voters to register by party. pnwmom Aug 2017 #50

I also didn't find what I thought I had seen. Just polls, no actual numbers floppyboo Aug 2017 #51

You are also overlooking the fact that some partisans are strategic voters. pnwmom Aug 2017 #52

Kasich in Ohio? Didn't this happen there? floppyboo Aug 2017 #54

Not completely true. Hold outs and bitter enders made the diff. haveahart Aug 2017 #7

But were they Dems before the primaries? Numbers suggest they weren't nt floppyboo Aug 2017 #16

There's a LOT of authoritarianism around here RandomAccess Aug 2017 #40

I noticed and I don't get the logic. I get a good discussion but geez. ATL Ebony Aug 2017 #56

Me too. REALLY not a good look for Dems. RandomAccess Aug 2017 #59

My Problem With Bernie DownriverDem Aug 2017 #21

Bernie votes and caucuses with the Dems. tiredtoo Aug 2017 #27

He left the party immediately after the election and has spent the time since then criticizing it.nt pnwmom Aug 2017 #53

even up here, with 5 major parties, when the crunch of marking your x comes floppyboo Aug 2017 #29

I think you're oversimplifying what's going on down here, and minimizing the negative effect... George II Aug 2017 #38

yup. that's the whole intent of my post: to legitimize the minimilizing! floppyboo Aug 2017 #39
