Every Republican I know hates her, and even a couple of my Republican relatives have changed over to Bernie, having seen the field of nutcases their party has supplied as candidates.

That's gonna leave a mark! It was her "Western Firewall" a couple weeks ago... LOL! peacebird Feb 2016 #1
Sorry, Nevada was NEVER part of the so-called firewall. That is based on SC and Super Tuesday still_one Feb 2016 #2
Oh good. NV is another one that doesn't matter and Hillary morningfog Feb 2016 #3
Nevada is a tie. Want to see what the polls say on Super Tuesday. One guess, they are not tied still_one Feb 2016 #5
Super Tuesday is in two weeks. morningfog Feb 2016 #10
NV doesn't matter BECAUSE it is a tie now. ChairmanAgnostic Feb 2016 #17
And the firewall goes down crumbling! Helen Borg Feb 2016 #4
Let's see, Nevada a tie. South Carolins, 99% chance that Hillary will win still_one Feb 2016 #6
I seem to remember Iowa being something like a 90+% chance of a Hillary win just a few weeks before Kentonio Feb 2016 #7
I wouldn't call it much of a win Sophiegirl Feb 2016 #8
It was one to be included in a collection of statistical anomalies, delrem Feb 2016 #13
Silver and 385 had predicted the way the coined would flip. Helen Borg Feb 2016 #16
Educate yourself. IA was NOT decided by a coin toss. riversedge Feb 2016 #31
I don't think so. HRC's campaign has always taunted us with her incredible polling numbers. delrem Feb 2016 #9
As of 4:30 p.m. yesterday afternoon, Nate Silver predicted a 51-49 win for Sanders. Let's wait secondwind Feb 2016 #11
I thought it was a 51% chance of winning Nonhlanhla Feb 2016 #14
Nate will predict whatever his paymaster tells him to predict, right up 'till the last moment. delrem Feb 2016 #19
Any day now I expect a new poll showing Hillary with 128% support somewhere. Gene Debs Feb 2016 #12
Righto... They are all 90% Clinton wins until... Helen Borg Feb 2016 #15
If Hillary wins, everyone loses except the 1%. greymouse Feb 2016 #28
Those walls will only bern so long you know madokie Feb 2016 #25
Wrong. Hillary's campaign called Nevada their "Western Firewall" peacebird Feb 2016 #22
That goal post is definitely getting a work out madokie Feb 2016 #23
A while back, I did read and hear a a lot about both South Carolina and Nevada. merrily Feb 2016 #26

I don't understand how Hillary is considered more "electable" than Bernie greymouse Feb 2016 #29
It means that she's most "moderate" and "centered", as part of a marketing campaign. delrem Feb 2016 #30
her candidacy was possible only without anyone else running MisterP Feb 2016 #32
Are there madokie Feb 2016 #21
In the end, the only polls that matter are votes. merrily Feb 2016 #27
