The real problem is that Hillary is starting the general election campaign at a -55% negative rating and this is before Trump has started playing pinata with her.
"Yeah, FUCK democracy!" said every deadender Bernie or Buster everywhere.

You characters are too much.

Superbowl attracts ordinary well heeled citizens. How many ordinary citizens generally attend or plan to attend the Superbowl of politics.

Plenty of people can come up with the money to go to a ball game.... They should also be able to figure out how to afford a convention.
Joad is scouring the web to find stuff to rationalize why he's always pissed-off at the world. I don't much give a shit how much somebody has to pay for a hotel room in Philly during the convention. If I were stupid enough to go to Philly at that time to eat, drink and visit museums, I'd also be ripped off on hotel rates. Such is life.

What did he say that isn't true, Robbin? You need to resign yourself to the fact that over half the country just isn't as smart as you and can't see all of Hillary's superior qualities.

Half the country thinks that the government is hiding little green men at Area 51 and chem trails are sterilizing men.

Sorry that I am annoying you Ice (but not Bob). Every time that Hillary won more votes than Bernie is brought up with reference to the general election, it is a meaningless statistic. Bob's post said "4 million more voters who prefer Clinton over another politician" and I called it nonsense. What if there were three instead of two? Would HRC have won 4 million more votes? Or if there were four? See how this number has no statistical significance?

Then I brought up the fact that as of today Hillary's popularity for President is at -55. Now tell me, how is this Hillary bashing other than that I responded to Bob's misplaced bravado regarding all things Hillary.

Planes have wifi, I have a smart phone................

Annoying me? Naw, just amused that a full grown atheist has found religion in a cranky old Jewish cat who ran off to Vermont in the '60's and chucked all the math you learned at Cal State.
'Tis a puzzle, Raj.

If it were true, you might have a point.
