1. Careful someone will come along in a few minutes and decry everything

Because internet polls are "unscientific" and don't represent actual people... or some other stupidity.

Fair warning!

2. We must listen to who the corporate media decided won instead

5. But stenciled-in NYT op-eds are solid proof!

She's the khaleesi!

[Uncle Joe]

3. Kicked and recommended.

Thanks for the thread, ReallyIAmAnOptimist.

4. The same clueless media

That is saying she won because they just feel it and she's inevitable are like people we know who say the same thing...repeatedly.


And yet, they cannot see the trees or the forrest.


This afternoon I was with a couple in their 70s who are Democrats. The wife was saying to the tv..."Run Joe run. " the husband asked me who I was going to vote for and I said Bernie. He liked him but had reservations he could win the General. So they both wanted Biden. I asked them if Biden didn't enter if they would then vote for Hillary.

No. They had real misgivings about her as a person and her as a candidate. They are Biden supporters, I might get them to Bernie just by default because they don't LIKE her.

6. Only corporate pundit proclamations are scientific!

You can never trust the people when it comes to stuff like this.

9. Maybe you can explain. I've been trying to get an answer to the question

on 'scientific polls'.

These polls supposedly are about the Primary Candidates.

Yet nearly ALL of them include someone who is NOT a candidate,

That says to me and a whole lot of other people that these polls are NOT about the Primary Candidates they are about sending out a 'trial balloon' to see if an Establishment Candidate NOT in the race might hold up should the FR drop out

So how 'scientific' are polls that are not gauging what they are claiming to gauge but are acting on behalf of some interested party, NOT the voters?

I prefer to go to the people frankly. Reminds me of when Obama was winning online polls and the dismissive attitude towards the 'people's choice'.

10. But corporate media's pundiots clearly DO represent the people!

Learn propaganda.

13. We all should learn to embrace the opinions and reality that pundits create for us.

Life would be much easier for us all. Intelligence Agencies included.

Trust them.

7. Bernie will win the General if he wins the nomination.

This is the hard part, getting through the debates, the caucuses and primaries. Who ever the GOP nominates looks like a nut, I hope it's the king of the nuts, T-Rump.

11. Bernie has shown he has what it takes

to wipe the floor with any Klown Kar Kandidate!

[Kalidurga]

16. It won't even be a contest

In the sense that Bernie has to work hard to make the Republicans look repellent. He just has to work hard to keep a straight face and pretend to take them seriously like Obama did. I really don't know how Obama kept his shit together when he debated Romney.

12. Proving once again Sanders supporters flock to and 'freep' online polls

14. Online polls are meaningless unless they are scientific.
