Except they were not participating in a really democratic election process were they? As I have mentioned, that is a meaningless static but useful when one has to throw out numbers to shut down a discussion. "Numbers speak for themselves", where have I heard that before.

What's wrong with the headline? Here is her actual quote unless your interpret the word remember differently than I do, which is the double speak I was referring to.
Thanks for the compliment, whell puts up one hell of an argument even when he is wrong, which is seldom.

You actually are interpreting this to mean she will be a friend to the coal industry? She's been talking about investing in retraining coal workers and building up the safety net for out of work coal miners.
Christ on a pogo stick...  I feel like I'm reading the Bernie Bro sub/reddit or Caucus99 here.

You need to do some more research Rajoo. I can find some links for you if your search engine is broken.

Bob, please read my Post #1251, where I mentioned that this Politico article was referenced (not linked) by an email from Bernie's campaign this morning. Why should I do any research, I believe it so if you don't agree, you will need to post information to the contrary.
After all, the best I can say about Hillary is that she is NFG.

She is pandering to the coal workers while winking at Elon Musk.
PS: Thank you all, a fun morning for me. Need to get rolling south for an afternoon of gainful occupation.

This is not what the headline says. It was written to be open to interpretation in order to draw eyes to the article.

I wonder how those 3 million people are feeling about their vote these days. Look at the polls. Bernie has virtually erased Hillary's lead.

Oh!
It was 7 points!
You're right.
Rassmussen was way off!

I think you need to read the article by Andrew Sullivan.
