Bernie Sanders
Related: About this forumWill Hillary keep the "pragmatist" vote?
I remember not long ago that Camp W were touting the poll showing 70+% Dems believing that HRH has a best chance of winning.
Seems to me, it's pretty shaky ground to run a campaign on. Won't these voters, if that's really their primary reasoning, be the easiest to flip?
Certainly it's why they try so hard to frame Bernie supporters as outside of the mainstream.
I just wonder how many of her supporters will continue to endorse her, as we continue to blast holes in their "best chance" argument. Especially people like, say, Samuel L Jackson, who've made that argument very publicly. Will they stick to their guns, even after it starts to look really silly? Or will they swallow their pride and do the right thing?

(64 posts)Delegates! I've read where Killery has ONE THIRD of super delegates lined up already. Now 'splain to me, Lucy, what the fuck that means?! Are these "delegates" paid for? Where the hell do they come from? If they are already set up to choose, why are we even having these conversations, debates, and, for that matter...even voting?
O.K. I admit and it may be obvious by my questions, that I am not a political savant; I don't understand some things. (Like coin tosses in a Democracy, for example)
Going back to my first paragraph: Does that mean that if Bernie wins the popular vote in ALL STATES (I wish!), that she STILL gets 1/3 of the delegate vote? Help me. I'm starting to get vertigo here.
