Emerson Poll: Trump Strong in Massachusetts
While Emails Hurt Clinton with Independents.
Bay State Is Mixed on Marijuana but Supports Pats and Police Body Cams.
Boston (Oct. 20, 2015)
<edit>
In the Democratic primary, Hillary Clinton leads Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders 59% to
25%, with all other Democrats under 5%. In a sign of trouble for Clinton, 47% of
Independents said her use of a private email server while she was Secretary of State made
them less likely to vote for her, compared to 24% of Democrats who said the same. A
majority of Independents (56%) believe her doing so harmed U.S. foreign policy.
Independents make up roughly half the state electorate.

(12,471 posts)which matters also, neither RepubliCONs nor Independents will vote for. Some of them WILL vote for Sanders though.

Of course if Bernie continues to be cheated out of wins he will run as an independent and throw the election to the thugs...

She has a lot of unpleasant baggage, doesn't she?

(24,689 posts)That issue will die once the investigations are over.
When comparing one's behavior to Bush Admin officials, saying "They did it too!"
Cuz we all know they were squeaky clean, right?

(15,951 posts)Frankly if Hillary manages a a narrow win in MA (or even a narrow loss) it will not be good for Bernie since it's one of the states that he actually has a shot at on Super Tuesday.
pipoman
(16,038 posts)Polls are a joke. Has there been a single poll in this primary season that has accurately predicted a race? No, all Hillary has left is wishful thinking. Super Tuesday will put Hillary out of the race. She couldn't beat a black man with a Muslim name last time, and she is losing to a self described "socialist Jew" this time...she is unelectable.

Just 3 or 4 months ago, not very many political pundits even gave Bernie a chance, yet here he is, nose-to-nose with Hillary.
Her campaign only has one way to go from here, down.
When you examine the commanding lead that she had 6 months ago, with the mainstream media only talking about a "Hillary-Trump" General election race, this is what happens.
She did the same thing in 2008, and still hasn't learned anything from it.

(2,760 posts)But that doesn't mean he's going to win. An upward trend doesn't necessarily continue to go up.
pipoman
(16,038 posts)And Bernie has done nothing to disrupt his winning streak. Masses of Democrats are disgusted and sick of the DNC corruption which is going to be glaring if Bernie continues kicking Hillary's ass in the popular votes and still gets the nomination. Without a massive move in support for her, if she is nominated, there isn't a chance of winning in November without a repug spoiler....
