1. So 1 point is only 1 but 2 is a wide difference, do I have that right?

2. Bernie's not running against Trump

[lagomorph777]

9. Not yet.

But if we want to win the GE (does anybody care about the GE?) we will need him. Trump has easily knocked out every Republican they threw at him. Do we want to throw one more Republican at him? It'd be like throwing a steak at a lion.

[griffi94]

11. Haha nobody needs Bernie for anything

Bernie is lame duck candidate.

He's getting crushed by hundreds of deleagtes and millions of votes.

You say Not Yet.
I think in 2024 Bernie will be too old to run again.

It'll be over soon now and his supporters
can give up raging against
the dying of the light.

It's time for Hillary to focus on the GE

She's got this in the bag.

[lagomorph777]

12. Cat's out of the bag - you are clearly nervous.

Else why would Hillarians be desperately begging Bernie to quit?

If you don't care about handing the country to Trump, by all means vote for Hillary.

[griffi94]

15. Are you kidding

I'm thrilled.
This is the first time in my life
that my preferred candidate is going to
win the nomination.

This is great.
I'm also enjoying watching the Bernie fans
try to contort reality...and math.

Watching poor losers lose and then watching as they try to
use Bernie math to defy reality.

Then get angry when reality doesn't budge.

3. Sanders lost the nomination

[lagomorph777]

10. Jeez, is it July already?

Get out of your little lalaland and stop disrespecting your fellow Democrats in WV, CA, OR, etc.

[KingFlorez]

18. Nothing will change

It's too late...

[lagomorph777]

21. Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain...

Keep telling yourself that everything is OK. Good thing you only care about the past, where your candidate lives. The GE will not be pleasant if she gets the nomination.

4. They were warned

They laughed
Will be interesting at least

[Renew Deal]

5. With your help anything is possible.

[ibegurpard]

7. She doesn't need my help

She built that.

[Renew Deal]

14. Oh, so you want her to do all the work

And you get all the benefits. Got it.

[ibegurpard]

17. the benefits?

Of policy dictated by corporate special interests?
I'll pass. She's got those bases covered on her own.

[Renew Deal]

19. Right. Trump and Hillary would pick the same supreme court justices.

Your judgement speaks for itself.

[AgingAmerican]

20. That seems to be her only selling point

[firebrand80]

6. What about O'Malley vs. Graham?

Since we're polling impossible races

[libdem4life]

8. Seems to be "shoot oneself in the foot" election. HRC is a bad bet, but one

The Establishment wants to make. She has never been elected, on her own, to anything. The New York carpet bagging was fixed for her by the NY Dem Establishment. Other than that, she married into FLOTUS, and got appointed to SOS.

Yes, she has done many good works...and for those I applaud her. But she's just not the right woman for the job at this point in time. 2008 was her shot at it. And since then she's managed to embroil herself in consistent shady events.

Then we have/had Bernie with decades of consistent views and actions and little political baggage.

They got rid of Howard Dean with the Dean Scream, John Kerry with Swiftboating and Bernie with, well, putting all the eggs in Hillary's basket. All three were honest and qualified...emphasis on Honest.

Time will tell.

13. Your title is a bit misleading. Reported on RCP site, yes, but not RCP averages.

Why not just say they are Quinnipiac polls? Would be more clear.

[Attorney in Texas]

16. Let's nominate a historically disliked and distrusted candidate who inspires little enthusiasm from

several huge segments of our own base - how could that possibly go wrong?

If Donald Trump or Jill Stein could have cherry picked a Democratic nominee who will leave millions of dissatisfied Democrats available for poaching, they could not have done a better job than our own super-lobbyist-delegates at tilting the process against grassroots Democrats interest in a candidate who reflects widely held FDR values which unite us rather than dividing us between the neolib/neocons and the FDR Democrats.
