Tot--------------------Total-------Clinton-----Sanders

Mind made up--------57%---------62%---------50%

DK/NA------------------1-------------2------------1

[FloridaBlues]

1. Nice steady incline for Hillary.

Bernie has flattened out for awhile.

[JaneyVee]

2. Holy Christ.

K and R. She went from an 18 point lead in October to a 30 point lead in December.

[Alfresco]

3. More good news. Thanks.

Clinton climbing, Sanders sagging.

[LexVegas]

4. Obviously they are not polling millenials. They are all pro-Bernie. nt

[wolfie001]

10. Too busy playing Candy Crush

Ouch!!!

[riversedge]

21. ha ha

[SmittynMo]

32. Oh, thats soooooo funny

The ironic part is their vote is just as equal as yours. Excuse the candy crushers for wanting a better future for themselves. Excuse them for wanting a better life. Excuse them for electing the ONLY truthful candidate out there. Excuse them for being smarter than you.

Making jokes about the millennials will come back and bite you in the ass.

[riversedge]

76. You seem like you need a cookie to sweeten up your post....

[wolfie001]

85. OOOOHHHHH!!! Those look yummy!!!

[Metric System]

83. I'm a Millenial for Hillary. Sanders supporters do not speak for me.

[SmittynMo]

84. No one said

100% of millennials are going to vote for Bernie.

[LonePirate]

34. I think you might be mistaken about the demos for Candy Crush.

I don't know of any Millenials who play it but I know several women over 40 who do.

[SmittynMo]

40. I played it about a year ago

What a somewhat fun and frustrating game. With the goal to "pay" for more lives. Nice little scam, eh?

Delete, Delete, Delete. I'm done. Level 34.

[Iliyah]

5. K & R

[SidDithers]

6. DU rec...nt

Sid

[firebrand80]

7. No SOUL FOOD bump

I was sure there would be one

[brooklynite]

8. 2/3 of Clinton voters' minds made up; half of Sanders voters might change

[riversedge]

9. Several recent polls have indicated this. Great to hear this.

[NurseJackie]

16. I've seen a lot of Bernie fans making the argument that Hillary's support is "soft" and ...

... therefore it was a vulnerability. Supposedly, we were to be frightened that all of this "soft support" would be easy for Bernie to peel away, "JUST LIKE 2008!!"

[George II]

43. It boggles my mind that people don't understand that Bernard Sanders is NOT Barack Obama.

[NurseJackie]

55. In fairness (and sympathy) to them ...

... what else have they got to pin their hopes on? They get my admiration for loyalty and optimism.



Any team sports player knows that it's nice to have the fans cheering in the stadium, but all the shouting and cheering in the world won't put points on the board. You can't shout your way to victory, you have to EARN it by being BETTER than the other team.

At this point in the game, it's going to take SEVERAL "hail-Mary" touchdown passes for Team Bernie to catch up from their 30-point deficit. There's just not enough time remaining to do so.

Big-G-little-oh, GO, GO! Go, Hillary!

[Beacool]

102. Correct.

Part of the phenomenon that was the Obama campaign in 2008 was due to his personal story. It was history in the making. In 2016 nominating and electing a woman president will also be history making. Nominating an elder Socialist white man is not.

[seabeyond]

11. Two to one, and shift in position for a Sander's win. I like. Nt

[Aerows]

20. Wow Sea, where do you live again?

You sure don't sound like yourself.

[seabeyond]

24. Not my problem Aerows.

[SmittynMo]

12. Twilight zone

You're traveling through another dimension,
a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind;
a journey into a wondrous land whose boundaries are that of imagination.
Next stop . . . the Twilight Zone!

[brooklynite]

13. You're telling us a story about an alternate reality?

That makes sense.

[SmittynMo]

17. I'm guessing you missed the point

That's quite alright. I never expected for you to change your mind. Stay right where you are, living in your bubble, supporting someone that has no intention of making your life better, especially when it comes to making healthcare and education a right for everyone.

I'm cool with that.

[George II]

46. Yes, the only place where Sanders can win the nomination.

[Aerows]

19. When the bullet hits the bone

[SansACause]

14. Sanders and Trump

They are both polling at ~31%. Interesting.

[NurseJackie]

15. And so, it appears that BERNIE actually has *more* of this "soft support" than his fans would ...

... have us to believe. Very interesting.

[Aerows]

18. This is going to be amazing

when it gets decimated in the voting booth by Democrats that do not wish to vote for Hillary.

Mark my words.

I will be chortling, cackling and laughing come the day of reckoning. Hillary doesn't have the numbers.

Bernie does.

[yallerdawg]

22. Mr. Aerows...

[Aerows]

23. The day I'm a "Mr" is indeed

the day somebody will be on Fantasy Island.

[Aerows]

37. Wow, this has been a weird week for me.

First I'm called a Yankee, then I'm called a man.

What on earth?

[brooklynite]

25. Am I to understand you would look forward to the defeat of the Democratic nominee?

[Aerows]

26. You are to understand that I will support our Democratic nominee

which will be Bernie Sanders.

Any Questions?

[brooklynite]

31. I DO apologize...

...all that cackling made it hard to read your post.

That said, care to explain how this unprecedented shift in votes is going to occur? (and before you tell me about secret millennial voters, remember that Bernie doesn't think they exist...)

[Aerows]

36. It occurs the same way it always does.

One stone at a time moves a mountain. One voter spoken to like a human being instead of being delivered a sales pitch, wins an election.

[enid602]

38. Answers

Then Bernie needs to start answering questions in the debates, rather than responding with his usual pre-packaged schpiel.

[brooklynite]

86. Slow and methodical is good...when you have six months...

You have about a month after the Holiday season

[Aerows]

100. If that strategy doesn't frighten you

then good. Please continue to ignore the efficacy of consistency.

[brooklynite]

104. I love consistency...

...Hillary Clinton is consistently ahead and consistency rising.

[DCBob]

39. You will be "chortling, cackling and laughing".. if our nominee loses??

That's sad and pathetic.

[Aerows]

94. She's not the nominee yet

and I was referring to the Primary.

You seem to be on the coronation committee.

Not my style.

[riversedge]

27. "best chance of winning" was at bottom of list of what is importance is choosing a President..

I have lost track of how often I hear that it is why people chose Hillary over Sanders. Another talking points hits the dust

December 2, 2015 -




69. (If Democrat or Democratic Leaner) Thinking about the Democratic nominee for president in 2016, which of the following is most important to you: Someone who shares your values, cares about the needs and problems of people like you, has strong leadership qualities, is honest and trustworthy, has the right kind of experience, or has the best chance of winning?

DEMOCRATS/DEMOCRATIC LEANERS..........

[brooklynite]

29. Clinton also leads Sanders 59-31 on dealing with the Economy...

[NurseJackie]

93. Impressive ...

Bernie certainly had a lot of hurdles and obstacles blocking his way. As "enthusiastic" as his fans are, I doubt that their enthusiasm will be enough. He may win one or two states, barely, but things are unlikely to change for him.

[Aerows]

30. I don't know who you have been talking to, lately,

If you think Hillary Clinton is "winning".

[riversedge]

58. Obviously I have not been talking to you!

[redstateblues]

62. But but what about the word cloud?

[riversedge]

67. Mostly filled with comments from Sander supporters, and or fox news et al

[Aerows]

89. Oh wow, that's interesting. Fox News

and Sanders supporters. Conflating much?

That's a fascinating road you are going down.

[SmittynMo]

49. I am astonished on how the MSM

has brainwashed many HRC supporters.

What part of 1% don't you get? WOW

[redstateblues]

69. Brainwashed? What a stupid insulting post

All the HRC posters on this site are intelligent and articulate. I know it's hard for you to believe there are voters not taken in by Bernie's anger fueled "you kids get outta the yard" campaign, but HRC is so much more qualified to be President. That's why she continues to lead Bernie by double digits. Having said that, I have no animus for Bernie and would vote for him if he somehow won the primary.

[DCBob]

70. +1!

[SmittynMo]

72. So what else would you call it?

I wasn't out to insult all the intelligent HRC supporters. I just don't get why people are falling for all the BS the MSM is spewing out every day.

[Aerows]

95. I particularly enjoyed a poster a few threads up

conflating Bernie Sanders supporters with Fox News viewers.

That's a real winner.

[MaggieD]

28. Can't wait for her to be President!!!

[NurseJackie]

45. The waiting is the hardest part. Even though her ...

... "coronation" (HA!) is over a year away, I'll get a great deal of satisfaction and enjoyment during the primaries and all the events leading up to the convention and election.

[MaggieD]

48. I do too

I guess that makes both of us political wonks. LOL!

[riversedge]

63. Madam President has a lovely ring to it.

[NurseJackie]

97. :-) <3

[SmittynMo]

47. Why?

She brings nothing to the table, but 1% bullshit.

[MaggieD]

52. Because she's got real, achievable proposals

And is more qualified than any presidential candidate in my lifetime. And she's an expert at kicking rethug ass. Bonus that she will be the first female president. It's high time.

[Thinkingabout]

71. Agreed, having the most qualified candidate makes it easy to support Hillary.

[SmittynMo]

51. And wait you will.

A long, long time. 2020 maybe?

[MaggieD]

54. I think she will win easily

[SmittynMo]

59. Good for you

For your own safety, please make sure you're sitting down when you hear the final news.

[MaggieD]

65. I'd say that's better advice for the Sanders supporters

Judging by what has been posted here in the last 6 months they are going to have a total meltdown when he has to drop out.

[SmittynMo]

66. Correction

when she has to drop out.

[Alfresco]

56. She is going to be an inspirational leader in so many ways. Can't wait either.

[SmittynMo]

64. Really?

Inspirational leader? Leadership of the 1%. Yeah, that's about right.

I can't wait.

[Alfresco]

68. Tired and meaningless cut and paste responses.

She'll be your President and you will like it, you'll see.

[SmittynMo]

75. Once Bernie wins

You'll finally understand why he won, as your democracy is being restored.


You'll be glad that you will never have to worry about going bankrupt over medical bills. EVER. You're sick? It's covered. Period.

You'll be glad when your children will receive a tuition free college degree. Not just reduction in current loans.

You'll be glad when income inequality is a thing of the past.

You'll be glad when we break the banks up, to protect your investment.

I can go on and on.....

[Alfresco]

80. A much better response. Well done.

I like Bernie, but he is out of his league.
Hillary will be #45.

[Starry Messenger]

33. K&R

[BlueMTexpat]

35. But how can this be?

I keep reading on DU that Everyone HATES Hillary.

[George II]

41. Great results. The interesting part of this is the high number of Sanders voters...

.....that might change their minds versus the high number of voters who have their minds made up.

I guess the "Clinton machine" has gotten the word out that if they don't vote for her they'll retaliate!

[MaggieD]

60. Real Dems like Hillary

Sometimes hard to remember that if you hang out at DU much.

[DCBob]

42. Great news for the Hillary team!

[mcar]

44. That is a nice increase for HRC

[406-Boz]

50. Will we have a "national" primary.

Let me know when to vote in the "national" primary.

[MaggieD]

61. She's beating him in most states too

He's going to be crushed on Super Tuesday if he lasts that long.

[brooklynite]

82. You're right, we're voting State by State

Enjoy...

[NurseJackie]

99. :-D nt

[still_one]

53. This has been confirmed by multiple polls

[NurseJackie]

105. +1

[MoonRiver]

57. Great news for Hillary, as usual!!

[retrowire]

73. You're all going to be blindsided.

[img][/img]

[SmittynMo]

74. Yep

Can't wait.

[Renew Deal]

77. If you mean Sanders supporters then I agree

I haven't seen this much denial about polls since Romney.

[MoonRiver]

88. That's funny!

[Aerows]

96. They are just trying to crank up the "winning team" Logos

Ignore them, and vote Bernie Sanders .

[lunamagica]

78. So Killer whatshisname had as much effect on Sanders campaign as Cornel West

Last edited Wed Dec 2, 2015, 08:55 PM - Edit history (1)

which is ZERO

[Aerows]

98. Oh my.

Conflating Bernie Sanders with a desire to do away with all gun control.

That's a useful strategy.

I swear, you are all batting it out of the park tonight with the conflating Bernie with everything evil in the world.

Why don't you all start telling me why I should vote for Hillary Clinton?

Oh. That's right. You can't do that.

[lunamagica]

103. What in the world are you talking about?

Gun control? conflating Bernie with everything evil in the world?

How did you get all that from my post?

[hrmjustin]

79. Good!

[Aerows]

90. Glad to see you back

We may not always agree, but I do appreciate your take on things.

[hrmjustin]

91. Thank you.

[Aerows]

92. We're not always on the same side with regard to candidates

but I'm always on your side, hrmjustin

[NCTraveler]

81. A little surprised at how soft we are finding Sanders support to be considering.....

the narrative here. The narrative here just doesn't match what the progressives I know are saying. Seems Sanders 31 is pretty soft support when looking at these numbers while Clinton is the one with much more solid support backing her. Very good to see. Go progressives. The voters on the left are uniting behind Clinton.

[NurseJackie]

101. But this is JUST LIKE 2008! :-P

Amirite? :-P

But seriously, that is one of the most striking things about those poll results. I should have known better. I was actually thinking for just a brief moment that is support outside of this website was equally strong and enthusiastic. I guess I was wrong.

[workinclasszero]

87. But..but..SOUL FOOD...KILLER MIKE....WORD CLOUD...

Hillary is shooting for the sky! The party has decided and is getting behind her campaign BIGTIME!
