demographic, but hey, that's fantastic. He can add that to the Indie, formerly non-voter demographic, moderate Repub, Libertarian support he is getting across the political spectrum.

So, let's see, the Dem base is now ONLY 32% of the electorate. Down from nearly 42% in 2008. Bernie is taking one third of that vote already, and probably will take more as time goes on.

So how can Hillary win with just two thirds of one third of the entire electorate? Answer, she can't!

Thank you, Hillary Brigade, for bringing down another positive thread. HerbChestnut Nov 2015 #11

I didn't bring it down. I cited a fact. n/t cosmicone Nov 2015 #12

Of course you didn't, that would be impossible for you to do. You TRIED I suppose, but one has sabrina 1 Nov 2015 #14

25% is credible and supported by scientific polls by multiple pollsters. cosmicone Nov 2015 #15

I'll cite you another poll. pinebox Nov 2015 #29

That's what they choose to ignore. The polls they repeatedly cite do not account for all the sabrina 1 Nov 2015 #31

The primaries will be decided a long long time before my state. cosmicone Nov 2015 #46

Is ther some reason why you don't want to discuss the issues, the rules of your state eg sabrina 1 Nov 2015 #47

It seems he's nearly closed the Biden bump that Hillary got. hootinholler Nov 2015 #24

Yes, you got that right. He is surging with Indies, Greens, Libertarians, formerly non-voters, sabrina 1 Nov 2015 #33

You know that those people cannot vote in a democratic primary in most states cosmicone Nov 2015 #35

You know that all they have to do is register as Dems to vote in closed primary states? Don't you? sabrina 1 Nov 2015 #37

mmmm yeah ... they will be doing just that cosmicone Nov 2015 #38

They ARE doing just that. But seriously, you don't seem to know much about our electoral sabrina 1 Nov 2015 #39
