2016 Postmortem

(62,325 posts)It's an amazing accomplishment so far and is the reason why we are seeing all these attacks, which haven't stopped him at all and won't.
Obama was LESS than that at the same time in 2008. And as an Obama supporter then, I remember posts just like yours and when I see them now, I just smile. I believe Obama was around 22% which was good for someone who didn't have the name recognition Hillary has.
But Hillary supporters are making the same mistake now that they made then regarding the polls.
And I'm kind of glad because like then, they are experiencing a false sense security, and forgetting, that Bernie's support is coming from far larger demographics than the Dem base which has shrunk to only 32% of the electorate.
Which is why I find myself smiling at posts like yours.
