Bernie Sanders
Related: About this forumAnother reason to not buy these polls
according to polling it was assumed dems would keep the governorship In KT.the republican won.LA is going to runoff because the
dem got 40% of the vote in their jungle primary In october.
while the results In KT are terrable the point is polls shouldn't always be taken as gosspel.we need to get out the vote In February
In Iowa and NH.ignore the clinton supporters bragging about MSM polls.
KT should also be warning to dems.they need to get their base out.enough of this bragging about opposing obama and aggreeing with republicans on such and such.

(1,557 posts)As an aside, I got called earlier by someone polling for Hillary. The questions were cleverly worded, of course, but it was easy to pick out the tells that it was for her, debt-free college, worker profit sharing, etc. Then it became really obvious when she asked questions that might make me feel negatively toward Bernie. I don't know how she took me correcting her assertion that Bernie is a Socialist, but whatever.

(1,557 posts)I was kind of distracted because I was helping my kid with government homework (go figure), but I think I managed to throw it off a bit.
The questions also tipped their hand re: Bernie, how I felt about Socialism, his Brady Bill votes, the "high cost" of his proposed programs. So I expect we'll see more of those things here. Again.

(4,234 posts)KY is pretty vulnerable to voting machine fraud. The Clay County Repubs who used their voting machines to keep control for a decade and then (some of them) spent some time in the slammer is a good indication.
This particular defeat very likely comes courtesy the far right wing crooks who manufacture the machines that count the votes.
No way to know of course since there's not any way to verify the vote in KY I'm sure, that is, any REAL possibility. It might be theoretically possible as it is here in KS. It's just that if anybody tries to get an audit or recount, the powers that be won't allow it.
