(9,688 posts)14. I have to get behind a candidate on economic and foreign policy issues,

Are you arguing against the math, then? Hardly seems like a worthwhile position to take.

Not if you extend the trend lines. That would indicate Hillary could be down near 20% by early 2016.

Actually, all we have now are some polls. They could be right, they could be wrong.

There's a few of those(most Sanders supporters don't actually feel that overconfident, btw).

Inevitability is really the only thing she's got going on... and even that not so much.
