And your assumption is that Trump will be the exception to the rule? Garrett78 May 2016 #25

No no SheenaR May 2016 #26

False, I linked the RCP polling average for McCain and Romney. Obama was beating them at this point. icecreamfan May 2016 #30

It isn't false. There were individual polls that had Obama trailing. Garrett78 May 2016 #33

Seriously? Averaging polls doesn't give a better picture than individual polls? icecreamfan May 2016 #34

It's backed up by some polls. Garrett78 May 2016 #35

Where was your tut tutting of the Clinton polls being rolled out four years ago? TheKentuckian May 2016 #4

It's kind of sad, but I'm sure there are still a lot of folks who don't know who Sanders is. Garrett78 May 2016 #29

Sanders has not been vetted at all yet Gothmog May 2016 #13

You don't think David Brock has vetted Sanders? Peace Patriot May 2016 #37

The Sanders-Peace narrative doesn't jibe with reality. Garrett78 May 2016 #38
