Bernie would make a great candidate griffi94 Apr 2016 #4

Or if he didn't have to run against the DNC. Loudestlib Apr 2016 #31

Yeah That too griffi94 Apr 2016 #35

You miss the point. More people would have voted for him if he didn't have to go up against the DNC. Svafa Apr 2016 #51

Go up against the DNC? griffi94 Apr 2016 #60

I mean that the DNC Svafa Apr 2016 #62

Even Bernie had a PAC working on his behalf griffi94 Apr 2016 #64

But the DNC can and DID everything it could to hide Bernie from the public... bvar22 Apr 2016 #88

I thought all the debates had been televised griffi94 Apr 2016 #89

Were you here in the US, traveling abroad, or just not paying attention? bvar22 Apr 2016 #90

No I was here griffi94 Apr 2016 #96

A majority of Democrats do not agree with the Washington Post. Agnosticsherbet Apr 2016 #7

but they did all along! plus, what % of voters are registered Dems now? amborin Apr 2016 #9

The vote totals and the delegate totals, show that Democrats do not agree with the Washington Post. Agnosticsherbet Apr 2016 #11

Not true. WaPo is talking about what the general electorate thinks about her. thesquanderer Apr 2016 #23

The Primary is not the General Election. Agnosticsherbet Apr 2016 #25

That larger electorate is mainly independents. Loudestlib Apr 2016 #32

Not all independents are the same. LiberalFighter Apr 2016 #86

The WaPo article is relevant to the general election, it is not about the primaries. thesquanderer Apr 2016 #33

The General election electorate will have a chance to choose between the options given them. Agnosticsherbet Apr 2016 #36

re: "Once the primary is over, we can discuss how the electorate will decide..." thesquanderer Apr 2016 #38

A candidate that is not supported by his or her party is not electable in the General. Agnosticsherbet Apr 2016 #67

There's no evidence for your statement. thesquanderer Apr 2016 #69

The winner of a primary is deemed the most electable by the party that votes to nominate. Agnosticsherbet Apr 2016 #72

re: "The winner of a primary is deemed the most electable by the party that votes to nominate." thesquanderer Apr 2016 #74

The Democratic Party still likes smoke filled rooms away from the voters All in it together Apr 2016 #63
