Since Hillary is up in both those states, DE should be the same. It's similar demographics.

I voted "one" in the poll because I don't know jack about RI.

Polling data for these closed primaries:

CT: Clinton +6
PA: Clinton +18
MD: Clinton +25
DE: Clinton +7
RI: no data

I'll give him RI. If the projected leads in PA and MD are even half correct, Clinton extends her lead to 270 pledged delegates with another 360 delegates taken off the table. If the polls are correct, The lead becomes 300.

Partially because there's so much unknown with non-existant polling plus the open primary aspect if I recall.

While the hardcore Sanders supporters are going to do the right thing and phone bank and work hard to get out there, I know based on past experience that the momentum is on the Clinton side. Perception is 9/10th's of the game in politics and while she's had to fight to win this nomination, the fact that she's continually in the lead here and coming out big in states people notice (really, nobody notices Wyoming for a range of reasons and caucus states even less), and she has the perception of having momentum and winning.

That alone will draw undecideds more than any issue, policy, or indictment wet dream some may have. A lot of undecideds just want to pick the winning side.

If you truly believe only one person who "favors Hillary" there is nothing I can do to disabuse you of that notion.

Oh, Bernie has internal polling. He has spent massively on it despite earlier suggesting pollsters are superfluous. Let him realease them to show the actual voting was manipulated.

That should solve it, am I right?

My point about the internal polling is a good one. If Bernie thought he was being jobbed he would release his internal polls to prove it.

Of course you did.
It is well known Arizona and New York primaries were manipulated for sure, plus several other states. That is why the law suits about it. There will be more law suits concerning Democratic primaries, as the evidence builds in other states. Count on it. Debbie DINO is running Hillary's campaign like the Republican she is. Facts and issues over personalities.

It is not the campaigns that are being manipulated, it is the primary elections themselves. Between the disenfranchisement and the vote flipping that always seems to favor Hillary, Hillary may have more to worry about than her SoS security 'lapses'

If I actually looked to fellow member of this board for impartial information I would consequently have to look to a psychiatrist for mental health counseling.


The bottom line is the voters aren't nearly as into the Vermont independent as his acolytes are. His support is a mile deep and an inch wide.

Until there is credible evidence from a reliable source that there has been a pattern and practice of vote tampering I will remain unconvinced.


After saying he didn't need or rely on pollsters the Vermont independent hired a fancy schmancy pollster. He doesn't seem to have helped him since he is losing badly but by releasing his polls he can demonstrate whether or not the votes have been tampered with.

Random allegations of fraud from disgruntled supporters of the soon to be vanquished Vermont independent does not constitute evidence. Well, maybe in a parallel universe they do.

Occam's Razor- Voters are just not "feeling the Bern", or at least not in large enough numbers to prevent him from being vanquished.

When are some of you going to get through your heads that more Democrats are voting for Hillary than are voting for Sanders? At this point, the race is not even remotely close. Hillary will have triple the pledged delegate advantage than Obama had in 2008. It has nothing to do with Debbie or any other DNC big shot. People are voting with their feet and more have chosen Hillary.

Jesus Christ, the hypocrisy here is staggering. Obama supporters were asked to treat diehard Clinton supporters like gentle, fragile snowflakes for the months of April, May, and June as it became more and more apparent she was going to lose, but Hillary supporters are pouring in like they're storming the beaches at Normandy and telling Bernie Sanders supporters to shut up and get in line.

he would probably win zero, and I have made my support well known.

Definitely depends on the GOTV operation this weekend and into next week. The 5 million calls placed (not all connected) in the final days of NY shows the extent of the effort, but the result was clearly was in the other direction.

Now we have 5 to spread the effort around. I have canvassed here in RI. There's some funny business here but it's not fraud. We are just broke and they are cutting costs at the cost of democracy. The real funny business is that they have delayed the release of polling until after Sec. Clinton's visit (because Gov. Raimondo who is angling for a national position is projected to have an approval rating in the low 20s). But I digress

RI is in play for sure, but a lot of unaffiliated voters are turning to Trump. Nobody will believe me, but RI will be tougher than ususal in November.

MD and DE to me are done deals for the Secretary. CT is close and PA will need a turnaround fast for Sanders to win.

Just my $.02 on the ground and on the phones.
