Bernie is not the most popular politician in America right now because he's dumb StrictlyRockers Sep 2017 #4

You're right. He's not the most popular politician in America. That's a myth. pnwmom Sep 2017 #6

Show me a poll where he isn't the most popular active politician virtualobserver Sep 2017 #8

Logically that's impossible. You can't prove a negative. Show me a single poll pnwmom Sep 2017 #12

of course you can prove a negative virtualobserver Sep 2017 #14

Dream on. n/t pnwmom Sep 2017 #22

Solid refutation. thanks. nt JCanete Sep 2017 #23
