Her inability to move her numbers anywhere but down IS an issue.

and things.

think of it as more of an elevator.

When Sanders is dragged off the convention floor for trying to charge Clinton during her acceptance speech.

I ask, smiling at your choice of words.

What caused you to think that Bernie Sanders would disrupt a fairly won primary? Or, are you predisposed that if Ms. Clinton won, she would have had to have cheated?

Several of them spent most the summer an fall on this site posting polls that showed huge leads for Hillary, they constantly told us those polls proved that Bernie did not have a chance. Now all of a sudden those polls are irrelevant? I don't think so.

...if Hillary supporters were indeed claiming victory or likely victory at that point, it was premature. These things shouldn't be called until Iowa at the earliest.

She blew a whole bunch of campaign dough and stomp time for single digit hold-onto-your-pants wins.

Better?

in fact let's pick a winner based on how much support they are able to grow.

better yet, the nomination should be based on new Hampshire. the other caucuses are too easily influenced for corrupted. And they don't support Bernie - so something is wrong. Hillary did something.

You admit she had that lead.

You admit that lead is now gone.

Somehow, you are unable to grasp that she "blew that lead".


Stating facts isn't spinning. Claiming that she somehow didn't blow a lead which she used to have, but now doesn't, is the an excellent example of spinning.

Edit to add:

if the trend continued.

So fuck no.

My advice would be to just not click on stuff you don't like!

I feel bad about your fact aversion, but... no, wait - I don't.

No skin off my back. Just trying to help everyone out.

including nationally.

She lost that margin of a lead in IA, she lost her lead in NH and was absolutely plummeted there. She lost the lead that size in NV but hung on enough to win. Nationally, they are tied.

It is not spin, she lost the leads because Bernie is surging and still is. He is narrowing the gap in SC, but will not come close to erasing the lead there. A single digit loss for Bernie would be great. 10-15 point loss would still signal he has narrowed it there some. If he loses by 15-20+, he will have not cut into her lead there.

Super Tuesday will reset the narrative.

It's been downHill ever since, while Bernie is tracking steadily upwards.

which have voted/caucused or are about to. The remarkable thing is how MSM continues to mumble about Hillary maintaining a big lead, but no mention of how these leads have shrunk significantly over the last 6 months. Maybe the "spin" is whirled in DU, but it ain't coming from most of the media.

And, from what I've heard, from Bernie's campaign manager. I could be wrong about that one.

It's the truth.

And ps - 'ceiling' in this case will be the Presidency. Rooftop view baby!

her 2008 performance in Nevada.

She'll do fine in the Republican South, but when the race turns back away from Dixie, Sanders will catch up.

re: "as we've seen in the first three states, he has a ceiling" -- by the same metric, Hillary's would appear to be 52.6

I read it right here on DU that Bernie's numbers had plateaued back in November.

Damn!!! Now I don't know who to believe!!

I get it now, and understand why so many of you are pulling your hair out,,,,,,

Bernie stole Hillary's insurmountable lead!!
