5. An overlooked tidbit - 20% of voters made up their minds since Jan, and Hillary got ZERO of them.

Thu Oct 8, 2015, 01:26 PM

Oct 2015

In January, it was 60% Hillary, 10% Biden, 30% undecided.

Now it's 45% Hillary, 25% Bernie, 20% Biden, and only 10% undecided.

It really is safe to say that in the 10 months that have gone by, Hillary has effectively won over ZERO primary voters. Everyone making up their mind between then and now went to Bernie or Biden. All her supporters are lifers - and even then, she lost a quarter of them in the past few months alone.

That too, is another astounding tidbit.

It's called passion... ram2008 Oct 2015 #16

It's not passion. Its arrogance and impatience and he is known to have that personality. nt stevenleser Oct 2015 #17

The people seem to like his personality ram2008 Oct 2015 #18

The people rarely see it. We saw a little of it with his interaction with BLM. nt stevenleser Oct 2015 #19

People usually don't react well when others interrupt them and yell in their face... ram2008 Oct 2015 #20

You're supposed to react well if you expect to be at the national level. It's not about you. stevenleser Oct 2015 #21

I think he's been pretty consistent on the issues ram2008 Oct 2015 #23

Nice try at changing the subject. His personality will become clear during the six debates. stevenleser Oct 2015 #25
