I just realized, he won MN by even bigger margin than NH.
So, what happened to "NH is Bernie's backyard. Of course he'll win by default" and "he won't have any strength going forward in other states" bullshit meme?
I'm having an MSM blackout in my house. So, will anybody please tell me whether or not the "pundits" are retracting that talking point?
If NH was supposed to be so favorable to Bernie because of proximity to VT, then what the fuck was up with Minnesota? I thought NH was supposed to be a fluke? I guess CO, OK was a lucky fluke as well, and MA was also a damn-near lucky fluke.
Well, we might as well continue with many instances of "lucky fluke" all the way to the convention.

(14,733 posts)All the wonderful early days when Clinton supporters were saying he'd be another Kucinich, get maybe 5-10% support. And how they slowly, grudgingly, upped their numbers to 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%... Seems like after 30% they just gave up on that particular form of dismissiveness.

(9,527 posts)It's almost like he knows what he's doing even if people who don't like to denigrate him. The idiots at unskewthepolls.com also thought they knew better. It's embarrassing how many people here refuse to understand statistics and polling.

(3,937 posts)They invert it to talk as if people decide who to vote for based on who's "backyard" they are in. (or because of their own gender or race).
The media treats us all like mindless numbers. All of us.

Just as subliminal messages can influence the way you think, this CONSTANT Trump VS Hillary in the GE has enormous power because the implication that's reinforced in this way will KEEP people from voting.
Just as the theory of "if you repeat a lie over and over" people think it's truth so when the truth is presented to them, they deny it.
I DO NOT watch MSM anymore, I actually get a broader and diverse amount of information from places like FSTV, RT and many other streaming channels through ROKU!
Recently someone attacked me for watching RT (America) as Russian bias! They would do well to open their minds to the fact that this channel isn't simply devoted to pumping up certain candidates. And, it also covers many more issues such as economics, trade policies and a lot about what Obama, Congress Critters are up to that DOESN'T get reported.
And for comedy, Lee Camp REALLY IS the John Oliver on RT!
Being open minded by listening to a variety of subjects prevents one from getting BRAIN WASHED! There is so much coverage of what our policies have done to destroy the economies of so many other countries! Talking WITH the people in other countries and hearing in their own words what we've done has helped me see MORE CLEARLY how the powerful here in America have helped destroy our climate and promote WAR in a way that should make you ashamed!
