1. Excellent!!!!!

[HerbChestnut]

2. Bernie did a great job in this forum just telling it straight.

Let's hope this acts as a springboard for him in SC

[Cheese Sandwich]

5. It could be a breakthrough moment

Great speech but I wish BET had shown it on TV instead of just internet.

[HerbChestnut]

7. Agreed, but

Word of mouth can be a powerful thing. It's what fueled Bernie's campaign early on and it could be what fuels him to victory in the south.

[Cheese Sandwich]

11. Bernie is already President of the Internet

So that should help with social media

[LWolf]

12. Me, too.

Hopefully the attendees will spread the word.

[Cheese Sandwich]

13. Yeah I think it would be nice if Bernie or his staff even highlighted this on social media

[JRLeft]

22. Hardly anyone watched.

[Cheese Sandwich]

23. They should have shown it on TV instead of just the internet.

It was actually good

24. People are in Thanksgiving mode.

It was good, but it won't matter because almost no one saw it.

3. which was completed before MO'M completed his participation in the forum.

Like other 'polls,' this one is less than perfect. Keep in mind, hrc did not show up.

[juxtaposed]

4. true but, she did have a 10 minute info bit

[Cheese Sandwich]

6. I don't know about that but great result for Sanders with 65%

That's pretty important for a candidate who is looking for a way to break through a little bit with black people.

[elleng]

8. It is a great result for Sanders.

I watched the forum, and virtually immediately after O'Malley's part ended, the results were announced, so I'm pretty damn sure the participants didn't take the time to digest and then vote.

[Cheese Sandwich]

9. At least they showed up

More than some people could manage.

10. Right.

They (all?) attended 2 SC events today, BET and Jamboree, had a busy day.

14. Was this a scientific poll

With science and stuff, looked over by scientists? Otherwise, how can we trust it? Dazzled me with science!

[Cheese Sandwich]

15. I was actually kind of surprised no Hillary fans dropped by to explain why this poll is meaningless

It's just 65%.

[Bubzer]

17. Me too. I expected a few to just blindly lambast it as bogus.

Particularly given some of the comments directed at recent departures from DU.

[angrychair]

19. Build it

They will come

[PatrickforO]

16. Seems like this 'problems with African-Americans' meme isn't so true.

I am genuinely glad to see this.

Bernie CAN win, in fact, I think he's more electable than Clinton. If Bernie gets the nomination I think it will be a landslide victory, or at least a comfortable margin. Especially if he's running against Rump.

[Bubzer]

18. Expect to see yet another PPP poll, or some other paid polster tommarow...or monday at the latest.

Every time there's good news for Bernie, hillary surrogates pay for another biased poll.

[Bernblu]

26. Yes, expect another PPP poll right on cue!

[Bubzer]

27. Well, I called it.

It's a fly-by-night "poll" too. No analytics to justify anything, just random numbers that a mysteriously in hillary's favor without anything to back them.
What I find really strange is it always seems to be the same person spewing out these polls.

20. Well Hillary has been winning but I think Bernie is starting to break through a little bit

Every little bit helps

[Enthusiast]

21. People are starting to wake up. They are being exposed to Bernie's policies.

[Cheese Sandwich]

25. The more people hear, the more they like

Bernie got off to a somewhat weak start on the racial justice front, but he's really found his voice I think. He really cares and has a great message. If the message can get out I think it will be for the best.
