The Koch Brothers may have freaked out more over the thought of a socialist.
They may have poured tons of money against him.
And the Repugnants would claim communist ties...blah blah blah.

I supported Bernie in the primary.
But, I refuse to play....I told you so, or what ifs......
That doesn't help our nominee.....Hillary needs all of our support.
The media does not want a blowout....always remember that.
They will continue to make every leaked email into a major story trying to make a false equivalency out of something that is nowhere near equivalent to Trumps inadequacies.

But, that is what they do.
And, that's what will make it much closer than it should be in November.
I just hope it's still enuf of a win with big enuf coat tails to take back the Senate and make big gains in the House.

I doubt he would be polling as well among moderate women as Hillary is though and that would affect the polls.

To have a candidate that is dropping in the polls when trump has done nothing. NOTHING good to help his campaign. Why is she dropping? Why?

The primaries are over, and Bernie will be doing a great deal of campaigning for Hillary in the not too distant future.

The so called drop is within the margin of error...she has enough solid states to win right now.

People who get flustered by typical ups/downs apparently have never participated in a Presidential election previously.

The "drop" as well as the "rise" are all within the MOE. Hillary is probably at 44-47% and Trump is somewhere between 39-41%. The true population average is somewhere in that range.
