Clinton only squeaked though by ^5% in Nevada yet...

and Bernie had nearly as many delegates. Yet the MSM is spinning that it was a huge victory for her. Well it's was not. The national race has tightened considerably and she is due for some upset on Super Tuesday. We have the momentum, the money and we are going to do it!

She is already seen as super untrustworthy and if there are one or two more scandals, voters might start turning away from her.

It's been obvious from the start who they pay attention to and it's not us.

Persistence is key. Failure is not an option.

They don't tell us the actual voter counts because that would be a little harder to manipulate

that HRC's considerable lead eroded rapidly and instead of winning by double digits, her firewall vanished and she eked by with a 5% margin. The story should be that the inevitable one is failing to live up to expectations.

if Bernie comes within 5% of her then it is a win for Bernie because she had such a large lead two weeks before. After the caucus, crickets.

Then again, I could be confusing it with a favorability rating of Bernie over Hillary, but I remember seeing a chart. Can't find it now. But did see this.

Bernie Sanders is leading Hillary Clinton in a national poll for the first time in the Democratic presidential contest.

A Fox News poll released Thursday night gives the Vermont senator the support of 47 percent of Dem voters, compared with 44 percent for Clinton.

Sanders polled at just 37 percent in January with Clinton at 49 percent.

Since last summer, Sanders has closed a 46-point gap between himself and the former secretary of state. Just two months ago, Clinton’s lead was 22 points.

Meanwhile, a poll showed that an independent presidential bid by Mike Bloomberg would take more votes away from Sanders than either Donald Trump or Ted Cruz in hypothetical general-election matchups.

The Quinnipiac University poll showed that Bloomberg’s entry into the race would deadlock Sanders and Trump at 38 percent, and give Sanders a 39-33 percent lead over Cruz.

No new national polling since the FOX one that had him ahead, so the 'rolling average' still has him down 41.5 to 48.9

"The most egregious offense comes from Nevada attorney Christina Gupana. She is a lawyer for Hillary for America. She directed campaign workers to break laws and gave them advice on how not to get caught. As an attorney, she is forbidden to do either of these things and will probably face disbarment proceedings."

The "Sanders has to win NV or go down in defeat" is the dumbest line of argument.
