The Bernie Sanders smear campaign has begun

63. Well it is about the trends. If you look at these polls over time, and enter the last four on excel

then do a trend like forward for each candidate, you'll see that Hillary's downward trend line and Bernie's upward trend line will cross sometime in late 2015 or early 2016.

That said, it is true that a lot can happen in this last half of 2015 to change those trends.

I have decided to support Bernie for three basic reasons:
1) I agree with him on every single issue he talks about
2) His funding comes from small donors and unions; Hillary's comes from some pretty deep corporate pockets
3) I trust him more than Clinton for a couple of reasons: Hillary was instrumental in helping get the TPP going, in 2008 she refused to say that healthcare is a basic human right, and in my opinion she's too hawkish - Sanders, on the other hand, opposed the war in Iraq, opposed TPP and does acknowledge that healthcare is a basic right

I guess for me, bottom line, I just like Bernie's message (and his record, which matches his message) better.
