Hillary increasing her lead to 10% over Sanders in National Polls!

National polls: Ipsos/Reuters

(last week) Hillary 51% Bernie 45%

(this week) Hillary 53% Bernie 43%

a gain of 4% in National polls with Bernie spending millions on ad space to keep running and Hillary is spending $0!

What a week!!!

Do you think we could get a Clinton/Sanders ticket?? Jitter65 Apr 2016 #2

I hope you are joking! Walk away Apr 2016 #6

Why? It would be a powerful ticket I think and would turn at least two red states purple and three Jitter65 Apr 2016 #14

We can do that with far better candidates! Walk away Apr 2016 #15

I just posted it for Bernie himself! He is the one always telling us that he is beating Hillary.... Walk away Apr 2016 #10

So by that logic, Hillary people shouldn't care, nor be excited Tiggeroshii Apr 2016 #11

Sherrod Brown, Julian Castro and several more even Elizabeth Warren (although I believe she prefers the Senate). VPs have to deal with the House and the Senate. Bernie is not well like in either and has a poor reputation for working with fellow members. He actually admitted that his one friend in the Senate is James Inhofe! He simply isn't qualified.

in the National polls! I don't want him to appear uninformed!

Hillary supporters have known this race was over a month ago.

we are celebrating! Most of us are long time Democrats that GOTV in our neighborhoods and states. Our candidate is winning and will win the general. This is a great time for us. We are ecstatic that this nominating portion of the election is wrapping up and we are getting ready to face Donald Trump. The fate of our country hangs in the balance.
