maybe you have an unusual definition of consistent dsc Apr 2016 #2
Umm, what? Hillary is ahead in the average. DanTex Apr 2016 #3
Not if you factor out the +6 one that will soon drop out. speaktruthtopower Apr 2016 #4
LOL. Well, yeah, if you fudge the numbers... DanTex Apr 2016 #5
It's still a rigged system Ferd Berfel Apr 2016 #6
Not ahead yet but the trend is pretty obvious lagomorph777 Apr 2016 #7
Yes, by next June Sanders will be ahead by 9.2%... go Podium Bird!!! uponit7771 Apr 2016 #8
I guess it depends on the definition of "consistently." If that means "in one poll" then yes. Buzz Clik Apr 2016 #9

person who will unreservedly support the people.

Obama did a lot of that, Hillary would do a lot of it, Bernie will do nothing but.

I fear the endless problems created by some of his supporters and his big mistake of not organizing and appearing less white from day one may interfere.

I believe Bernie Sanders represents all minorities and Americans equally and is by far the best choice.
Will we get another chance like this in our lifetimes?

but I see three polls that are basically tied (1 with Hillary plus 1, 1 with Sanders plus 1, and 1 with Sanders plus 2) and one in which Hillary has a clear lead. If my car started half the time I wouldn't be calling it a consistently starting car.

The more people get to know the candidates, the more they like Bernie and the less they like Hillary.

where she is 20+ points ahead, and you have a significant Sanders lead elsewhere with tied national polls.

His path for victory now, is a narrow one. It wouldn't be bad if Hillary picked him to be her running mate though.
