May 2016

Bernie has better numbers because he can count on Hillary supporters who know that defeating the GOP is way more important than one's preferred candidate. Once Sanders supporters come around, those numbers will look better.

Ok. Trot out the FBI story. And the Iraq vote. And Kissinger. And the neocon "endorsements". Buzz Clik May 2016 #1

all of her own making ibegurpard May 2016 #2

... said Rush Limbaugh. Buzz Clik May 2016 #4

So, when Hillary hand picked Robert Kagan, the founder of the neocons, to be one of her advisers CoffeeCat May 2016 #14

Why would Rush care about those things? Hillary is easier to beat. Dawgs May 2016 #18

Other than the email, the rest are all unadulterated bullshit. Buzz Clik May 2016 #19

I agree. Her vote and vocal support for the Iraq war was bullshit. Dawgs May 2016 #22

Why are you guys choosing the less electable candidate anyway Cheese Sandwich May 2016 #3

I support HRC. She's electable, he is not. Buzz Clik May 2016 #5

You got any evidence of that? Cheese Sandwich May 2016 #6

Video evidence. Do you believe your own eyes? Buzz Clik May 2016 #8

Looks like a risky click Cheese Sandwich May 2016 #10

So a music video is your evidence that Secretary Clinton can beat Trump. Sure it is. imagine2015 May 2016 #51

Oh, please. Hillary and her surrogates have been attacking him for months. merrily May 2016 #12

They attacked his policies, not him. Months of being called basically a communist would tank him. CrowCityDem May 2016 #17

No, they attacked HIM. Religion, dual citizen of Israel, ssssocialissst, and on and on. merrily May 2016 #20

Who, the campaign or crazy internet people? We're talking about the actual candidates here. CrowCityDem May 2016 #21

The campaign, the PACs the surrogates. Don't know which primary you've been following, but merrily May 2016 #23

I haven't seen anyone associated with the campaign attack Judaism. CrowCityDem May 2016 #31

What do you think "dual citizen of Israel" is a dog whistle for? merrily May 2016 #37

Bernie has been doing better against Trump than Hillary in head to head polls for months. merrily May 2016 #24

depends on which poll you are checking. niyad May 2016 #32

No, it really hasn't. merrily May 2016 #41

do keep trying, I need the laughs. niyad May 2016 #44

You can always link to refute. Someone else already asked you for links and got crickets. merrily May 2016 #46

and I can always do something interesting and fun for myself. niyad May 2016 #48

TMI! merrily May 2016 #49

OK. What other polls? Links? KPN May 2016 #33

I question the sampling. The numbers aren't broken down well at all. The majority of those polled still_one May 2016 #38

shhhh, you are not supposed to notice these little facts. niyad May 2016 #40

A Hillary supporter claiming to question a poll favorable to Bernie is a fact now? Hilarious. merrily May 2016 #50

When Bernie's supporters fault polls, Hillary supporters mock them with Romney. merrily May 2016 #42

centrist establishment status quo will not beat anti-establishment promises of change this cycle. Attorney in Texas May 2016 #26

Not many. KPN May 2016 #34

except the overall popular vote has Hillary + 2.2 Million over Trump, and 3.1 Million over Sanders still_one May 2016 #39

Bogus, incomplete, inaccurate vote counts are irelevant. KPN May 2016 #47

What's your point? And what did Hillary supporters polled say? merrily May 2016 #45

November is starting to scare me to death. Vinca May 2016 #29

Why? KPN May 2016 #35

Because Bernie beats Trump in every poll by a much larger margin than Hillary, Vinca May 2016 #43
