Those long lines and huge crowds prove Sanders supporters won't get off their asses. arcane1 Oct 2015 #21

I dunno it didn't work out too well for workinclasszero Oct 2015 #25

It worked for Obama, and he and Sanders both draw bigger crowds than Clinton. arcane1 Oct 2015 #28

That's not far off from 2014 voter turnout - 65% of ACTUAL voters were 45 or older. George II Oct 2015 #71

And the majority of them voted for Republicans. jeff47 Oct 2015 #72

It's in the link. jeff47 Oct 2015 #118

What you're saying is incorrect, or at least incomplete: George II Oct 2015 #119

You should bother reading the poll in the OP before trying to defend it. jeff47 Oct 2015 #120

Now you're skipping all over the place... George II Oct 2015 #123

No, you're just not bothering to read anything that contradicts your opinions. jeff47 Oct 2015 #124

It was an internet poll, how long should they keep it up? JaneyVee Oct 2015 #47

99% of what, 5 mega-companies? truebluegreen Oct 2015 #81

Latest talking point is those polls don't count because they're "click polls" and "unscientific".... Spitfire of ATJ Oct 2015 #48

Or, you could take into account what a feelthebern.org researcher had to say about the polls.... MADem Oct 2015 #60

Remember the 2012 debates? Spitfire of ATJ Oct 2015 #75

I think the feelthebern.org researcher had an accurate take away. nt MADem Oct 2015 #83

It was a "conventional wisdom" takeaway.... Spitfire of ATJ Oct 2015 #93

I don't think it was conventional at all. MADem Oct 2015 #142

I get all that, I'm just saying it's based on consensus.... Spitfire of ATJ Oct 2015 #143
