The Sanders Surge

By the way, do you remember that there was some question of the Clinton campaign hacking the Obama campaign's data in 2008?

Agreed John, but I believe in "Screw me once, shame on you. Screw me twice, shame on me". So Sanders campaign is justified IMO. Besides there is also the distinct possibility that the Sanders campaign believes that their chances are low, so why not shoot across the bow of DNC. Not wise but if people are slighted, they usually come out swinging. After all the DNC is complicit in the coronation of HRC and/or the HRC trust factor is once again rearing it's ugly head.

The one question I would ask HRC today at the show is, who made the decision to have a televised debate on a Saturday before Christmas. Now that would be a BAM in my book.

It sorta doesn't matter. Hardly anyone will be watching this debate anyway. By design,might I add.

Isn't there a game on? Personally, I record them so I can skip over the incessant advertising that has become the norm with debates.

There are several games on. Plus, it's the Saturday night before Christmas. People have better stuff to do than watch a debate with low prospects for fireworks or consequence.

Yet somehow we're being fed this steaming pile of shit that Hillary is the most electable.

If the 2016 U.S. presidential election were held today, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) would win by a landslide over GOP frontrunner Donald Trump, according to a new poll released Tuesday by Quinnipiac University.

With voters favoring Sanders over Trump 51 to 38 percent, Sanders would win the general election by 13 points—more than any other candidate would get squaring off with the Republican favorite, including Sanders' chief rival for the Democratic nomination, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

Indeed, while Clinton would likewise sail to victory over Trump, her lead would be approximately half as much, with voters favoring her 47 to 40 percent

She is the most electable if electable means winning the primary before the general.

So I take it you're planning to vote for Clinton in your state's primary or caucus?

I saw two Bernie stickers on cars on my drive on I-15 today. I don't recall seeing a Hillary sticker out here yet...however I know most of us on the highway are going to vote for her.

I have a new political rule that is going make political science history: Those candidates for whom people are afraid to place bumper stickers on their cars are going to be the best choice and the next President of the country.

I could stick a million snakes, Trump, Carson, Cruz bumper stickers all over my car and no one will touch it. One Hillary or Obama sticker and my car is key bait. Whoever invites vandalism to your car is most likely the best choice for America.

People hate being told to take their medicine and do the right thing. Everyone Vote For Hillary!

I probably need to take the Bernie sticker off my car before some redneck asshole vandalizes it. I'd guess that a good 95% of the politically motivated vandalism is done by right wingers.
