You know people are making a lot of the "head-to-head" match-ups in the polls. Wow! Kasich beats Clinton! He's beat Clinton consistently. He's can win the general election.

Really? The election is in November -- seven months from now! What were the polls telling us seven months ago (September)? What makes anyone think that these polls will be any more accurate than those were?

Most elections tighten as the election date approaches. This one will, too.

Polling can be useful, but we shouldn't read too much into it.

I have a friend who lives in Syracuse. I shared and tagged her to hopefully get clarity. Pretty sure she laughed at me...

God, I'm so glad I'm not getting RTs of Sady Doyle in my feed any more. I can only imagine what stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid things she's saying about this.

That was definitely not serious, and it was not him but his campaign manager that said that. It was sarcastic.

Sadly, not with trolls like 4chan around. They ruin enough online polls as it is.

What a persuasive argument. I'm sure the Clintonistas will immediately flock to Sanders. You idjits need to figure out that you are hurting Sanders, not helping him. This giant wall of nastiness, no matter who it comes from, always helps the one who is more known.

Satire: how does it work?

Oh yeah, because that's not hackable. My vote is far more important to me than my money.

It's clueless BernieBots like you who are screwing him over. When the wall of nasty noise gets too big and people can't handle it anymore, they are far more inclined to go with the known commodity. It's people like you who make me nervous about supporting Bernie. The minute he disappoints you, the minute he is forced to compromise, you'll be long gone, leaving him high and dry at the midterms.

Actually I put up 55 posts every day and work 2 jobs. One is full time the other is a small business.

You have no idea how many posts one can share on the way across the parking lot, on a 15 minute break, while brushing one's teeth..

Please don't judge people you have vowed not to try to understand.

What's the internet rule where people can't tell if it's sarcasm because it is too close to what people actually say? I think that's where you are right now.

I actually prefer closed primaries. A lot of it is because it is for the nomination of a single party. I think it should be for the people who have enough loyalty to the party to be willing to put their registration where their mouth is. I wanted to vote in the CT primary in 2008 and couldn't because I wasn't a registered Democrat. First thing I did was change that. It's not like you have to pay to register as a Democrat. You just put a mark in the box on the form. And I'd rather be represented by someone other people who care about it like I do than someone that a bunch of people who are "so beyond two party politics" wants. I feel like it isn't asking much - you want a say in who the Democratic nominee is, be a Democrat. Is that really so unfair? And did they care that much when then signed up?

Unless Bernie's just did that to make her THINK she won. Haven't you ever seen Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey?
