"Because if the biggest vote-getter of either party is Hillary—by a large margin—then that suggests the electorate is not necessarily as angry as pundits claim."


Anger.... so f*ing boring! Simplistic.

See what its done to the repub party.

majority who are helping her path to the White House.

to talk about a candidate's voters when they have a clear majority. There are so many of them, and from all different walks of life.

Some of them surprise you. Hey, I'm a middle class, middle aged male who's a strong Clinton supporter and I'm happy, proud, and excited to vote for her in April and again in November.

We frequently analyze the niche candidate's voters as they're easier to look at and do tend to follow clearer demographic trends (as always, with exceptions). Certainly Sanders' campaign is--or should--be doing so in an effort to expand his demographics beyond the current sphere.

So much emphasis has been placed on the under 30 demographic by the media, but if all Bernie has is those voters he will come up lacking (as we are seeing). The majority of those folks are NOT coming out to vote in the primary, so calling the whole under 30 group for Bernie is a bit premature.

about this very thing, touting Bernie's support in the under-30 crowd.

Most the responses, which aren't being received well, point out the fact that he's losing every other demographic group by wide enough margins to trounce that youth advantage.

It might, if I thought people didn't change as they age, indicate that the revolution (so to speak) is in about fifteen years. But since I know I'm less of an idealist than I was at 30 and I've noticed that trend in everybody I know, I tend to doubt it.

Not to mention that one of the downsides of idealism is the belief that things are inevitable. That makes you far less likely to get off the couch and go vote. I know how often things go wrong, so my butt will be in the voting booth on April 26th come rain, hail, or high water.

But they fell in love with him. I stopped falling in love with my candidate after Eugene McCarthy then Bobby Kennedy in 1968. Sometimes that blinds you to what actually can be done; it certainly can break your heart!

posting!

This:

I tend to discount it. Maureen Dowd anyone?

go figure!

any more than is necessary to get her elected.

What I'm trying to say is, I'm not marrying Hillary Clinton.

I'm voting and will be working to get an extremely intelligent, well qualified former Secretary of State elected POTUS.

I'm excited at the prospect of breaking down that barrier.

Maybe I'm defective for not needing to get all tingly when I think or talk about my preference in the primary.

You will lose every time.

I've posted this on FB a lot recently in response to the dismay of last Tuesday.
Many Bernie supporters simply had no idea HRC fans even existed. Many were saying it must be fraud or something. Funny because after they post all these people suddenly popped out of the wood works to eek out "I support Hillary" in response.

Yeah, we just don't post stupid memes about it every hour.

I knew we were around right early. Great example here in the college town of Gainesville Florida. Me and my wonderful wife go into the grand opening of the HRC campaign office. We were told their would be maybe a dozen people.
Oh no no no.
After we finally found parking, the building was full to the brim. 70+ diverse and energized HRC fans ready to put some cream on that bern going around town.
UF is the 14th best public school in the nation, and one of the largest at that.
And our county still gave the majority vote to none other then HRC.

And we did that mere days after Bernie Sanders made a speech here. (Yeah, I saw the Bern live!)
