They post em 24/7, don't hate on someone that points out a fact, you call it nothing, but understand, that you are not everyone else.

4. GE polls are pretty meaningless at this point.

They aren't even close to rolling a likely voter model yet, so they pretty much are meaningless beyond some trending.

5. So corporate polls are now believable?

As to the numbers; that's an EARLY expression of preference. One of the Democrats will have the financial and political resources (like Barack Obama) to run a national campaign against a well-funded Republcian (who will probably NOT be Donald Trump); one Democrat will not.

12. Clinton supporters shouldn't be bragging here

Bernie does better than clinton than trump.

Again Cruz Clinton ties right wing cruz and cruz has 1 point lead over bernie.

against rubio she has exactly 1 point lead over him while he has 3 point lead over bernie.

reality is apart from trump these are all dead heats.what does it say about ms inevital that she has trouble against rubio and cruz.
Bernie who MSM is blacking out is competive against them.and bernie is one who has room to grow.Cruz is just as much right wing as trump and rubio is empty suit phony.

Fact is Trump could win nomination.if he doesn't my money is on Cruz.Rubio isn't going to get nomination.remember i said same
thing on carson and i was right.

Nominate Clinton and only hope to win is for Trump.In 2004 Bush won by making Kerry unpopular.It's very Unlikely Clinton's huge
unfavorable ratings are going to drop.

gets the nomination, I love having this pointed out again and again. It gives me great satisfaction to have the major talking point every single cycle against anyone bold enough to challenge the status quo party-power-picked candidate debunked.

That "unelectable" talking point is used to scare primary voters away from better candidates, who would do a better job representing us...every time. This time, it doesn't fly.

14. yeah, the fingerwagging Big Nurse faction says "if you complain, if you don't get on our knees right

now and beg forgiveness for saying we're DINOs, the GOP will win and cut Social Security"

then we abase ourselves, they win, and the Dems cut SS (their logic is that if one party's for SS and another against it, and half the voters choose each party, that means on average America wants SS cut in half)

15. It's been discouraging

to see that tactic be ubiquitous, at DU and everywhere out there, over the years.

It's refreshing, energizing, to be able to hit back.

16. the problem for them is that their tactic is to delay, not convince
Wed Dec 30, 2015, 02:59 PM
Dec 2015

so they yell about purges (to expel dozens with redistricting), yell about Nader (and then they pimp Lieberman and Lincoln), send out fliers saying "better luck next time" ahead of elections, blame voters for GOP policies and then embrace them (even C.O.-baiting)

centrist Democrats are relieved Sanders’ stadium crowds of true believers have not sent her lurching too far leftward — Clinton is not proposing to reinstate Glass-Steagall; she does not advocate for universal free college or a single-payer health care system; and she does not support expanding Social Security benefits for all.
