Speaking of polls, https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...mepage%2Fstory

Looks like der Furor T'Rumpolini is in a deep double digit hole compared to the putative Democratic nominee.

Don't take anything for granted:

WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal judge says he may order Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton to testify under oath about whether she used a private email server as secretary of state to evade public records disclosures.

Yet another poll showing Bernie to be preferred by more voters than Hillary.

Other than the three million plus actual voters, I might agree.

About 30% of registered voters are Democrats, about 25% are Republicans and about 45% are Independents. That's a plurality, Bob. They get counted in the polls but, for the most part, not in the primary results. They've been disenfranchised by the system and they're pissed off. As a result, Hillary will have no hope of a mandate. People down ticket will run away from her, despite the money she gave them, all 1% of what she supposedly raised on their behalf, and toward Bernie's progressive agenda. Hillary will divide Democrats as much as Trump has divided the Republicans.

That's quite the prognostication John. We'll just have to agree to disagree.

You don't think there will be any backlash for the screwing Hillary has administered down ticket.

This is the way I see it.

Although I might add, IMO it's the Hillary supporters who are dividing the dems. Their insistence that Sanders supporters automatically switch allegiance to Hillary has become very off-putting. I never did like "my way or the highway".

Are you still on about that bullshit op ed rightwing Politico piece about the HVF?

There's a good reason Charlie Pierce dubbed them 'Tiger Beat on the Potomac'.
