Who has lost 20 points in NY in less than a month ??

Who is trying desperately to hold on to the final 10 point lead she holds ?

hillary clinton

Tomorrow's debate should be very interesting..

Expect the kitchen sink

From both clinton and the moderator

The ones at the top of the Hill will not lose graciously

Let's not lose sight of what we are accomplishing here

This is a non violent political revolution

It is the People reclaiming their Democracy

It is historic

She is leading by an average of 14 points. And is no danger of losing. Best start getting the conspiracy theories ready for Tuesday and Wednesday!

Them: "Sanders people never want to discuss the issues"

Me: "I would love to discuss actual issues! Like, for instance.... (actual issue)"

Them: "I'm not here to discuss specific issues"




Do you think I should re-evaluate that conversation? Perhaps I was missing something.

a disruptor's purpose is not to engage in conversation but to make it impossible for others to engage in conversation.

They're just usually not quite so direct as the one you encountered.

They've collected half a billion personally, several billion to their slush fund, while pretending to serve the publics interest. They're desparate to keep the charade up and the corporate checks rolling in.

She is where she should be. I know touting the outlier poll has you giddy but he is losing badly in NY. She is up by an average of 14 points, and no there will be no massive swing in 5 days.

anyway .. you are using the average of about 6 to 8 polls over a 3 week period.. the average you are citing is greatly bent by the oldest of the polls which are 18 and 20 points.

The trend is in Bernie's favor.. the most recent of the polls that your average uses is 10 & 12

Hillary was up by 30 in March..

you can try and spin it all you like but her support is quickly eroding

only 5% need to flip for your 30 point lead to be gone

enjoy the debate tomorrow....hope the angry hillary shows up

she always does when the game is on the line

seriously, or touted by Clinton supporters as the current lay of the race.

In actuality, there were a couple polls that were taken which had her ahead by 20 points and that was where the candidates were seen as standing.

It was also understood that the race would tighten when the election came to New York.

The recent polling has fluctuated between 10 and 18 points in Hillary's favor.

I expect a decisive win for Hillary on Tuesday, most likely by double digits.

But I am extremely confident that Hillary will win NY. And I am highly confident that the win will be in double digits.

I take it you are predicting a Sanders victory?

she mentioned the proliferation of nuclear weapons.

Of course, we weren't debating why we liked our preferred candidates. We were talking about what would happen on New York Primary Day. And I am not sure what was so silly about me predicting a double digit win since every single poll has her winning by double digits.

If there is something specific that you want me to comment on you will have to spell it out for me.

I'm not trying to be difficult here. I honestly thought we were discussing predictions for what would happen on Tuesday in the primary.

the last 2 polls have her up by 10 & 13

This is all in about a 30 day period

This is a wave and I expect a narrow victory for Bernie in hillary's "carpet bagging home state"

Showing up at Verizon for a short time and speaking to the people on the picket line - literally with a quote that was delivered for the news and her photo op, WHILE she's taking money from Verizon in her super pac, is part of her being unhinged. She's deluded into thinking everyone doesn't google her, and not just her supporters.

at this point she's preaching to the choir. The only people voting for her are the people who would no matter what.
They don't care about corruption. Everyone who does already fled. I don't believe she's going to win any new voters except who meets her at her expensive lunchins and all those black churches (she's gone to over 30) that she attends since campaign season started. Many will vote for her from the awe of meeting a presidential candidate and literally believe her without googling. Nobody else is going to switch over to that corporate horse.
