So in other words with the constant negative HRC media
barrage and HRC’s abyssal handling of the email story she still leads right now

Haven’t read it all, but this immediately jumped out at me. 7% of people don’t know who Joe Biden is!!! WTF America!

“Abysmal handling”? You’re assuming, as most EmoProgs do, that there’s even a story worth noting here. It’s bogus. It’s Whitewater, Part II. How are liberals falling for this bullshit so readily? I can see the Bernie Naderites doing it, but come on, man (or lady.)

Within six points? Fly, Bernie Naderites, fly! That needs to be pulled down further!

Nader ran a third-party candidacy, competing against the Democratic nominee in the general election. Sanders is running for the Democratic nomination, and will support the Democratic nominee. He’s doing exactly what Democrats back in 2000, and ever since, have said that Nader should have done. And Sanders is running a remarkably positive campaign, repeatedly refusing to cooperate with media attempts to get him to attack Clinton, and in fact defending her on this very e-mail issue. Polls show most Clinton supporters also like Sanders, and most Sanders supporters also like Clinton. Meanwhile Sanders’ campaign is drawing millions of fresh supporters into the democratic process. Literally the only way this could work out poorly for Clinton if she wins the nomination, is if somehow she and/or her supporters manage to alienate a significant number of Sanders supporters to the point where they will sit out the general election, vote for some protest candidate, or (most unlikely of all) vote for a Republican.

There is literally NO benefit to Clinton supporters attacking Sanders supporters, or vice versa. Well, unless you want to help the Republican nominee. In which case, keep attacking Sanders supporters, you’re definitely helping that cause.

There will always be 40 something percent of voters who won’t vote for a Democrat no matter what. Obama only beat Romney by 4 points. Now, let’s talk electoral votes.

So if Obama got 55% of the women’s votes, and 40% can’t be got, Hillary can only gain 5% among women.

On the other hand, Obama only got 45% of men, so Hillary could gain 15% there, but who do you think she will pander to?
