Also they are nice crowds but not historic.

Obama got a rally of 100,000 in Missouri in October 2008.

But, then again, Earl.

4/18/2016 10:17:39 AM

apparently it doesn't count though because it wasn't an official count

4/18/2016 10:29:52 AM

I exaggerate but the main point is 24 hr cable didnt bother yo put it on live tv. Msnbc did a liv stream but most of this coverage was reactionary well after the event was over. Fair media coverage wouldve been breaking news interruptions to show the country what was happening. This is what they do everytime trump speaks.

This one is showing even closer, 50-48.

4/18/2016 4:16:56 PM

Yeah but huffpo pollster is an aggregate like RCP.

4/18/2016 4:34:19 PM

Either way I'm not sure what that does for Bernie's delegate math issue

4/18/2016 4:35:43 PM

It will be really interesting if the Democratic primary winner ends up being 5-10 points behind in polls. That's what the trend seems to indicate.

4/18/2016 4:45:47 PM

^^It means the superdelegate should support who is winning in the polls at the time of the convention.

4/18/2016 7:25:26 PM

Lol u stupid

4/18/2016 8:42:33 PM

The Democratic Party can set whatever rules they want for choosing their nominee. Based on their rules, it would appear that the party leaders don't really give a fuck about the opinions of their affiliates. Maybe you should stop supporting a party that doesn't care about you.

4/18/2016 8:47:57 PM

I don''t know if you are talking to me or not but I don't support the democratic party one bit. They should be interested in Bernie though because he gives them the best chance to win. I'm not convinced they wouldn't rather have a republican president than let Bernie ruin their gravy train though.

I'll most likely vote straight green in November. Any real Bernie supporter will do the same.

[Edited on April 18, 2016 at 8:52 PM. Reason : k]

4/18/2016 8:51:45 PM

I don't support the Democratic party. I support Sanders and numerous other progressives within the party.

4/18/2016 8:52:43 PM

^^^ What party does care about the common man?

4/18/2016 10:24:23 PM

the green party

4/18/2016 10:42:31 PM

^^good question

4/18/2016 10:58:31 PM

The Green party should choose Bernie as their candidate instead of Stein. Every election there are candidates endorsed by multiple parties, and it would be great to see all the progressive 3rds unite behind him.

4/19/2016 4:54:16 AM

I'm on a green party message board regular and most of them hate bernie sanders and since day one have constantly ridiculed the idea that he would even be an option for people like me. They have toned it down a lot since bernie started winning though. Also this happened.

Greenies are still suggesting he has sold out to the democratic party and that he is a closet war hawk.

Comptroller of NYC called for a full audit of the election board, focusing on those who were de-registered.

4/19/2016 6:01:20 PM

Anytime you dont allow same day registration, you are obviously trying to supress the vote. This is just slam dunk evidence for what we already knew.

4/19/2016 6:06:29 PM

context:

Quote :

"Of the 126,000 Democratic voters taken off from the rolls in Brooklyn, Ryan said 12,000 had moved out of borough, while 44,000 more had been placed in an inactive file after mailings to their homes bounced back. An additional 70,000 were already inactive and, having failed to vote in two successive federal elections or respond to cancel notices, were removed."

in other words, this shit happens all the time. it's just the constant excuse making of a certain group of people that makes it seem otherwise

4/19/2016 8:35:59 PM

so why not just let people register and vote at the same time?

(rhetorical question)

4/19/2016 8:53:13 PM

it should be made as easy as possible to vote

4/19/2016 9:27:55 PM

4/19/2016 9:52:25 PM

DNC be like...

4/19/2016 10:02:17 PM

So the polls were obviously wrong. I blame the corporate media for its lies.

4/19/2016 10:13:41 PM

Its a combination. The corporate media has tricked people into voting for Hillary with unfair reporting. If they did their job, few would support Hillary. Voter suppression has silenced millions of bernie supporters. I wasn't going to be one of those conspiracy theorist bernie supporters until the shit they pulled today. Widescale fraud in multiple states is pretty obvious at this point. This wasn't an election, it was a selection.

4/19/2016 10:22:59 PM

But I thought the bottom was falling out for Clinton and that Bernie was about to over take her?

[Edited on April 19, 2016 at 10:26 PM. Reason : lol]

4/19/2016 10:24:47 PM

She is up 2 nationwide. Theres almost no math for her to get to the magic number without superdelegates.

yeah CNN's exit poll showing 52-48 was clearly wrong. or was it? idk.

Remember, the stuff we're talking about on the internet, is just the confirmed fraud. Not all the fraud that wasn't caught.

4/19/2016 10:51:52 PM

ain't no excuse like a bernie supporter's excuse because bernie supporters excuses don't stop

sanders now needs to win every remaining state by 18 points

judging by the rest of how NYC voted, yeah it would've gone Clinton. doesn't make it right, but it also doesn't take away the glaring reality of how badly he lost.

4/20/2016 1:47:04 AM

that giant crowd at that rally, tho

4/20/2016 2:00:32 AM

Isn't far off from what we thought New York would be. But this will go to the convention and who the hell knows what's going to happen in California.

4/20/2016 2:18:02 AM

are you serious? several of you thought Sanders was actually going to win NY, claiming momentum and it being Sanders' home state. He has zero chance at California, so get that idea out of your head right now.

4/20/2016 2:23:28 AM

I never thought he would win NY, just thought it would be closer than this. It would have been a completely different story had this been an open primary (like it will be in California). He's within 10 points with 2 and a half weeks to go and clearly polls mean nothing.

4/20/2016 4:18:48 AM

Wait a minute, these results seem awfully fishy to me. How do the final numbers compare to the most recent road trip bumper sticker poll?

4/20/2016 7:38:30 AM

Look at the map. Sanders won like 95% of the geographic area. I think he would have won if everyone could vote. Im not talking about the purge only. Im talking anout the crazy registration rules.

The media blows up the narrative and thats what I've been talking about. When sanders wins, they bury the headlines and give it a few minutes of coverage in the news cycle. When clinton wins, they make size 100 text on the home page DECISIVE WIN FOR CLINTON and give it wall to wall coverage on tv. When clinton speaks, they show her entire speech and then spend 30 minutes talking about how great it was. When sanders speaks to record breaking crowds, they bury it, briefly mention it on tv and maybe show 1 minute of him talking before cutting away to another story. Its an insurmountable coverage gap.

If we looked at maps, the GOP would never lose an election.

Re: polls... Clinton won by what? 16? The average was 12 and the last poll (Emerson) had Clinton +15.

Honestly, Bernie the candidate is great. Bernie's Internet supporters are rivaling Trump for annoying at this point.

4/20/2016 8:03:09 AM

With the amount of voting problems, no one should expect the results to.mirror polling
