Sanders erases Clinton’s once-overwhelming lead in national polls

Many national polls show them now tied or in a statistical dead heat.

Seems like Clinton's aggressive scolding of a Greenpeace activist for asking her about her fossil fuel connections revealed a side of Clinton which perhaps prompted many people to change their minds about her .

be fans of Reagan and Thatcher if they were running. If Cheney became a Democrat, they'd bow and scrap before him. Authoritarian adulation.

Although she's snapped at Bernie like that in some of the debates. So it wasn't totally unexpected to see that on the rope line. Her campaign has also been campaigning against people who support Bernie so I guess she went after the Greenpeace activist mistaking her for a Sanders supporter? So I guess you could say this wasn't unusual for her to do that either. Maybe she's been reading too much DU?

and Clinton already had 2.5 million more votes that means Sanders will have 2.5 million more votes in the remaining states!
