How has Utah and Alaska voted in the GE ... You have no problem with those votes. 1StrongBlackMan Jun 2016 #104

I have no problem with the individual votes. It is how the state goes in the GE that I am wondering Seeinghope Jun 2016 #110

My point is how are you going to question the southern states that HRC won ... 1StrongBlackMan Jun 2016 #114

It wasn't a level field RobertEarl Jun 2016 #4

White man Sanders has an unlevel playing field with the woman in the race, lol. seabeyond Jun 2016 #6

Your response is ludicrously uninformed. JudyM Jun 2016 #71

Yes it was, suggesting a white man faces the unlevel playing field running against a woman. seabeyond Jun 2016 #77

Edited for clarity since you misunderstood. JudyM Jun 2016 #78

It's not the media and DNC insisting on Secretary Clinton .. it's the voters SFnomad Jun 2016 #5

Nah! Democrats are just not that into Sanders. hrmjustin Jun 2016 #7

You may be right, but do you really think sadoldgirl Jun 2016 #12

No offence but O'Malley is boring. hrmjustin Jun 2016 #14

His policy positions are better than Hillary's. But 'boring' implies that it is about personality JonLeibowitz Jun 2016 #37

My canvassing showed that in NY people voted her because she was the most qualified. hrmjustin Jun 2016 #38

My canvassing shows quite different results. YMMV. JonLeibowitz Jun 2016 #40

She was senator here so people know her better. hrmjustin Jun 2016 #41

That could quite easily explain it. JonLeibowitz Jun 2016 #42

Voting one's gender. JonLeibowitz Jun 2016 #44

I'm a guy so that is a big no for me. hrmjustin Jun 2016 #46

Only females should vote their gender? JonLeibowitz Jun 2016 #50

My apologies for not being clear. hrmjustin Jun 2016 #51

Well, he could not be more boring than HRC. sadoldgirl Jun 2016 #45

Well maybe in the future. hrmjustin Jun 2016 #47
