The momentum is real!

[peacebird]

With less than a week to go before the Wisconsin primary, a new poll shows Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders harnessing his post-weekend momentum into a widening edge over rival Hillary Clinton.

The Marquette Law School poll (pdf) published Wednesday shows Sanders leading Clinton, 49 to 45 percent.

In the February version of the same poll, Sanders led Clinton 44 percent to 43 percent. According to the Wisconsin State Journal, "Clinton has been steadily losing ground to Sanders over the course of several Marquette polls dating back over the past year."

Wisconsin's open primary will be held Tuesday, April 5, and with 96 proportionally allocated delegates at stake, it's "a must-win for Sanders," as The Hill put it.

1. Delusional hope can be a traumatic letdown in the end.

Try and be realistic....

2. Yes, I feel for the Hillaryites. It must be painful to watch her failing again.

9. I love Hillary supporters...

not.

"You should give up." "We can't do any of that stuff Bernie talks about." "We shouldn't try." "We can't do it."

Little word of advice...the more you guys talk like this...the more Bernie surges. So perhaps you should stop being "can't do's", and figure out another way to disparage Sanders supporters.

3. It's not painful

She's got the nomination locked up no matter what happens in Wisconsin. Bernie's too far behind in delegates.

4. Bernie still has a path, it's a challenging one, but it does exist. She does not have it locked up

Regardless of how often you say it.

Her downward trajectory continues, just like in 2008.

5. Another shill for Hill.

8. Nope, not even close.

Bernie needs to average 57% wins in the remaining states to pass up Hillary. Difficult, but not impossible especially since he has averaged 66% in the last 7 states, including his loss in Arizona.

6. Momentum in Politics

as well as hot streaks in sports have been scientifically proven to be reifications. They don't exist.
