All of you rolling out those recent "surge" polls, you do realize what a joke that is considering the margin she already surrendered?

56 points. In his backyard. But congrats on the recent polls. And you wonder why we feel our movement is already winning

1. Yay

Go Bernie!

[Lucinda]

2. Nonsense. Those numbers are irrelevant until they really start campaigning.

And Bernie hasn't "blown" his lead in NH either. It's just a natural tightening of the race.

5. Was still up 30-40 in May and June n/t

[Lucinda]

8. So? The just started campaigning in earnest recently.

The only polls that ever really matter are campaign internals. Everything else is just noise.

9. There is nothing "natural" about the tightening polls in New Hampshire.

What is the narrative explanation for why 7% or so of the populace seems to have switched to Clinton from Sanders in the past week (according to several polls now), even though the number of undecided voters has not changed?

[Lucinda]

10. Well if they switched FROM Sander to Clinton, then that is where they came from. From Sanders.

There was a great town hall a few days ago, a debate, and Hillary has a solid campaign going in NH. Easy to see how voters might have moved one way or another over the last week.

12. Except that Sanders won both and the media is finally taking Sanders seriously.

[Lucinda]

13. Won both according to who? I suspect the viewers will decide that for themselves. n/t

3. I imagine that she could get those 56 points back if she promised Free Stuff like Bernie.

It takes integrity to do the right thing when you know its the right thing. It doesn't take any courage to promise people things that you know you won't be able to deliver on.

I saw a post here today where someone said that, "You know that Bernie has said that his agenda won't be put into place unless Dem take control of both Houses of Congress". Well no shit Sherlock. So now it's going to be everyone else's fault but Bernie's when he can't deliver on what he's promised. When the Revolution doesn't occur that leads to unfulfilled promises, it's going to be all YOUR fault not Bernie's. Puh-leeze!!!

[SheenaR]

4. Yup

Bernie is not courageous. You got us all. You win.

The only people I hear using the "free stuff" meme are on the other side of the aisle.

6. "free stuff"

Where have I heard that before?

[TTUBatfan2008]

7. Iraq War, Gay rights, Patriot Act, etc...

I don't think you want to go down this path when it comes to Hillary's record of flip-flopping.

11. Health care and public education are not "free stuff"

they are considered basic human rights in a liberal democracy. Unless, of course, one is a Republican.

Bernie has laid out his agenda very clearly on https://berniesanders.com/issues/

He knows he needs broad public support to implement it. What places him far and above Hillary is that we know he values the American people above the banks and other big corporations and will do everything in his power to improve the welfare of ALL Americans.

14. Vile comments like yours illustrate how far to the right the party has moved. "Free Stuff"

sickening. Turn off Rush Limbaugh and read a damn book for chrissake!

15. Impossible for her to campaign against Bernies message.

Ya can't touch this
