I was just told on another thread that HRC's poll numbers are based "100% on name recognition and nothing more".

Apparently, every single person who votes in these polls knows absolutely nothing about Hillary - they just know her name.

Nope - even though Bush leads Clinton 2-1 in ex-Presidents, she's ahead of Bush III nationally.

I would think it's IMPOSSIBLE after all this time and all this news and all these headlines and all these campaigns, and all the years she's spent on center stage in one way or other - you could not reasonably or logically argue that 100% is based on name recognition and nothing more. Unless all the people surveyed have been living in caves since 1992.

That's a ridiculous premise - "based '100% on name recognition and nothing more'." WHAT THE HELL are they smoking??? (Cuz it's gotta be good stuff and nobody's offered me any!)

... the posts that keep popping up here about "when people find out about ..," followed by a lengthy list of HRC's past positions and statements, "... they won't vote for her."

They carry on as though things like Whitewater and Vince Foster are going to be late-breaking-news to HRC supporters.

I think a lot of it is projection - judging by some of the BS supporters who STILL don't know how the political process works, they just assume that everyone is as ignorant of the facts as they are.

any favors by basically telling non-supporters that they're stupid. If they want more people to support BS and to siphon off votes from HC, insulting her supporters (and anyone else outside his tent) and telling them that they only vote for someone based on name recognition won't do the trick.

... is pretty much all they've got in the arsenal.

That's not to say Bernie doesn't have his good points - it's just that some of his "supporters" don't even know what those good points are, so they can't "go positive".

I just hope BS's supporters in the real world are at least putting their time on his behalf to better use.

I don't have a clue what she stands for. I may have heard it somewhere but I'm too dumb to retain it. Just know that name. It rings a bell and and I fall for it every time!

and she's drawing huge crowds too!

the crowds that give her ratings far ahead of anyone else in the running, the women's groups (Emily's List), LGBT, African American & Latino and all others who are fed up with the pathetic superiority complex of the good old white guys that legislate division in our society..if you think her supporters are of huge numbers now, wait till they all cast their votes, the crowds that give Hillary her those endorsements & those percentage points far ahead of all others will show just how huge Hillary's "crowds" really are.

Glad you agree as to her huge crowds.
Team Hillary is running a masterful campaign.

Thanks for saying what we all know & welcome to the HRC Group

Maybe go peddle your shiny new object to someone who might give a shit, cuz no one here does.
But you already knew that when you brought your b.s. down from your junk heaped mountain to peddle to Hillary supporters.

So pack up & go be with your own kind.

Bye

Thanks Jon Stewart.

Something rank & putrid dripped down from B.S.Mountain..phew!

……the New School where she touted every one of Bernie's points, so she sure as hell is feeling his effect and worried about it.

So he's changed the conversation and in that sense has already won. Because now——despite all the scandals, real or trumped up, that will inevitably dog her—we have her on the record and we'll hold her to it.

Too bad she didn't offer any details—but that's Hill.

...and you've been a member for 8 years but 20% of your posts have been in the last three months?

Interesting.

Maybe someone's been busy recruiting, dusting off the files from the last go around.

But I could be wrong. Just an observation.

Rodents, Termites. I hear b.s. mountain is infested
So I'm told..

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

So Bernie Sanders fans are rodents or insects. This is a new low, even for this group. Can we at least maintain since semblance of decorum, or is this sort of discourse now the levels to which DU has sunk?

Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I'm a Sanders supporter and I don't see how this is calling Sanders supporters rodents or insects. This seems like an odd alert.

I noticed that pattern some time ago.

Go, Hillary!

It is very different from Bernie who just keeps saying the same thing in different ways every time he speaks. He doesn't get much coverage and only a small but avid percentage of the electorate is listening to him.
Hillary is rolling out her agenda thoughtfully and for the long haul. She has plenty of time. After all, she be running until November 2016.

are listening.

She consistently polled in the mid 20's. That will be BS' plateau.

...which is why Sanders hasn't cracked 20% except for a couple of outlier polls.

You know what? I seriously think that Sanders is in this for his 20% of the delegates that he gets in the the primaries so he can have some input on the platform.
