Republicans in sheep's clothing. They don't know what loyalty means.

I notice many of them don't respond after you call bullshit on their talking points now that the timeouts have been suspended.

That's the firm the Sander campaign paid $16 mill to by January that "develops fully responsive custom technology. These new technologies provide our clients with tools to message thousands of supporters instantly and to more effectively engage them."

some low delegate western states by close margins. 538 is giving Bernie Utah, Hawaii, Washington State and a few others. This will give them "Momentum" but hardly put a dent in the Delegate count. This "Momentum" is so huge that Bernie will take NYS and then the rest of the states will fall into his pocket.
That guy is really milking them for millions. Just like everything else he promises, he can't deliver.

Wow. Does it show that I live in Ohio and that ol' Johnny is MY governor?

Anyone who sincerely supports Bernie and what he stands for would find Johnny an anathema. Johnny not only worked for Lehmann Brothers (and made huge bucks), he convinced Ohio public retirement funds to invest in Lehmann, costing the funds huge money. Johnny opposes transparency in government--he won't even let the state auditor (who is also a Republican) look at "Jobs Ohio," Johnny's publicly funded private enterprise economic program for Ohio. Johnny has starved cities and towns and brought their money back to him and his buddies in Columbus. He hates public employees (especially teachers). And we won't even go into all the awful things he has done to women's reproductive health in the state. I'll stop here, but I could go for days.

And anyone who actually paid attention to what good ol' Johnny is saying from the stump would notice that he is the same ol' right-wing crazy without bluster of the Donald or the whine of Ted Cruz.

I don't post much on here.I have been reading all this stuff for a few weeks.Some the stuff i have read is just vile about Hillary and her supporters.I am a Hillary supporter and because of me supporting her i have heard I'm voting because of my gender,because of my vagina or i am not smart or well informed . I'm voting for her because of the future of my family. I'm a single mother of 5 and taking care of my 69 year old mother who has suffered a stroke and heart attack.So i am very well informed and educated from my life experience to know my vote for Hillary is for my family and for the future of many family's like mine. Tomorrow my family will be voting for the next President of The United States Hillary !!!!!

segment of Sanders supporters trying to game the poll to make their candidate look better than he is.

In regard to the hypothetical national match ups, it is apparent that most likely Sanders' supporters are involved in the disconnect. While I have no doubt the vast majority of Hillary supporters will choose the hypothetical Democratic nominee over the republican, the reverse is not true. Those Sanders' supporters would have no problem choosing the republican over Hillary to game the poll numbers so they look more favorable to their side. Then they use the argument that "see, Sanders is more electable than Hillary"

It is dishonest at the very least, so I would not put much weighting on these national polls. The April 27th primaries, especially New York and Penn. which are closed primaries, should put an end to this nonsense once and for all.
