It was not a good thing certain folks didn't bother to participate in yesterday's NV caucus

It looks like to me that could very well be an indication of how shallow Hillary's support really is. Will her supporters bother to vote in the GE? Seeing this is a real concern for me.

What does it mean to you that 67% view her as dishonest? Do you think people want a dishonest person in the White House? Do you believe that creates enthusiastic support?

I think that was put to rest yesterday when they showed up and Hillary's didn't.

I can see how the 1% could vote for her. I have no idea how anybody could honestly say they think she is honest.

My relative that passionately supports her has no idea what her actual policy positions are, other than where she thinks they help her. She just likes Hillary(The way I used to), thinks it's her turn, and that she will do a lot to help women.

I wish that was the case.

They weren't there yesterday. That is some very shallow support.

Note the crooked stuff from Clinton people written up below. Just disgusting. Thank goodness Bernie has alert, smart staff people there. And a bow to the fine Clinton people on the credentials committee who stood in solidarity with the member the Clintonistas tried to have removed.

Hillary had the leadership of the casino unions force
their members to support Hillary. Don't forget she also
had some casino owner support too. Well the members showed up for the first round but then said fuck it on the second round.

My conjecture but it might have plausibility into the equation.

So it might not just be apathy....... but it is interesting.

or developed a conscience? Based on my experience at our caucus, Hillary could eat a puppy in front of them and they'd still support her. Because, you know, it's her turn and she's a woman and she has all that experience and stuff.

--who were allowed to caucus while working due to the special Harry Reid deal. They probably didn't feel like doing it for free on their own time.
