Republicans also registered twitter and Facebook accounts AND dominated google search results in every state of the union.

Well played, republicans.

lo and behold - someone went there. It's a vast right wing conspiracy. Poor Hillary - everyone is out to get her. Even to the point that the Repugs flooded the Internet & Focus Group post debate polls to go against her. Come on people - get real. Can't you accept the fact that the American People can see through the fake sincerity and know when a person is really telling it like it is?

against Hillary and for Bernie. I happen to feel that Bernie is resonating with The People and we are seeing the results in such polls.

repubs to derail Hillary's campaign. Everyone of the passengers in the clown car think they will have to run against Hillary. All of their financial supporters are spending money to defeat Hillary. The debate schedule has been made public for a long time. Anyone can vote in those polls for any number of reasons. One major reason is to support Bernie. Another major reason is to vote in those polls for Bernie as an attempt to harm Hillary's campaign.
That is just the nature of the game.

Hillary will draw out large numbers to vote against her in the general if she is the nominee? I thought she was supposed to be the electable one?

You can't make the claim that Republicans will take the time to stack multiple Democratic primary polls and then also deny they will actively and strongly oppose her in the general. You get one position or the other. Either they're out to get her or they're not.


Besides your op is conjecture without proof. The simple fact is Bernie has dominated social media for months. It's no suprise he wins online polls. Just like it's no suprise the MSM, who has been pushing Hillary as inevitable for 2 years, would strongly go for her.


Both sides are pushing a narrative. The only difference is who is pushing them. Bernie has the average joe netizen. Hillary has the corporate media. It's still all spin.


Both had a strong debate and came out of it in good shape for what they wanted.

When the superficial wearies me, it wearies me so much that I need an abyss in order to rest.
