I've read on here that 235% of Democrats want her for president. And those people clearly have no agenda or reason to pick and choose their polls.

Just get on board.

Edited to add:

I am a Hillary supporter who does want a primary and I have never read that 235% of Dems are Hillary supporters. I have seen polls that suggests she beats all potential GOP candidates by almost double digits.

You do realize that 235% in the case of polling cannot be an actual number, right?

I don't think I tried to disguise that.

Is use the SARCASM tag if it's sarcasm. Many people say outrageous, ludicrous things and mean them. (not sarcasm) --> Perhaps over 235% of the posters on DU! <-- see

O.K. if I need a sarcasm tag, when referrring to 235% of any group of people, then this place has truly gone through the looking glass.

The number in the context that I used it is a literal impossibility (cue the voter fraud conspiracists... ).

But in any case....I fixed it.

have never heard a sports coach say, "Give it 110%?" Now it's my turn, "Really?"

In this context, without voter fraud it is not.

You really are only proving my point about the absurdity of this whole situation.

This is the moderators rules though. I don't agree with a lot of stuff they enforce, but we are stuck with it. To play the devil's advocate a bit more: one cannot tell tone in a post, so you have to explicitly indicate it. Stupid I know and I've been caught assuming everyone could tell I was being sarcastic fer gawds sakes!

It's bizarre that a "journalist" or "media outlet"
needs to make that NEWS, pfft.
When a party DOESN"T have a primary...that will be news

Polls are relative meaningless except to create
the public illusion of certainty or "authority".
Asking 1000 people what they think and then "weighting"
the results says little about reality.
But it CAN persuade people HOW to think about a topic.

So maybe it's propaganda?
Maybe The Washington Times needs or wants
to stir the pot? To what end?

War Hawk she is.

Independents are not likely either. And half the Dem voters want someone else.

I guess those polls are based on registered Dems which at this point makes up only 32% of the population.
