38. CNN poll was totally manipulated

I saw it live when they were spamming the disagree vote before Hillary even spoke. Sanders face just showed on the screen, and the agree vote went crazy, so it's obvious it was completely spammed from BS supporters.

CNN obviously saw internally how bad it really was and said no more. They knew they got punked by some internet trolls and they restored sanity and their credibility. Good for them.
