BS supporters are wetting their pants because of this post in the BS Group.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/1280125256

A new national poll from Reuters shows Bernie Sanders leading Hillary Clinton by 6 points among Democrats — his largest lead of the primary so far.

Unfortunately this is a very suspect poll as explained in a post in the HRC Group by fleabiscuit

http://www.democraticunderground.com/110755097

And then we have this:



The only recent poll showing BS ahead of HRC is a Fox News Poll and we all know how much we can trust them.

No worries for us.

They can have their fun and hold on to the complete fantasy of Bernie beating Hillary for a few more days.

A cold shot of hardcore reality is gonna hit them on Saturday and the Tuesday after.

....are >bleep bleep bleep bleep< jury in Mississippi in 1950.

My prediction: there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth, a few people will be shown the door for misbehaving, the rest will settle down just enough to keep from being banned, and then will resume trashing the Democratic president just as soon as the votes are counted. I believe, based on experience here, that a Prez Sanders would not be exempt from being reviled by his former supporters for failure to deliver on promises made.



JURY: I got a hide for commenting about Sanders' age and endurance on the campaign trail. Surely we can put up with a little free opinion on a discussion board.

Truly heavy sigh.

What an incredibly condescending and petty post!

Oh the outrage and name calling if anything like this were posted about Hillary supporters. You have really lost any modicum of respect for your group and cause.

3..2..1...... byebye (only one, I really do not mean to be obnoxious)

On Wed Feb 24, 2016, 04:57 PM an alert was sent on the following post:

BS supporters are wetting their pants because of this post in the BS Group.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/110755207

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

This is out of line, even for the Hillary group. What a shame it has sunk to this.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Wed Feb 24, 2016, 05:04 PM, and the Jury voted 2-5 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Not alert worthy. However, I do hope those stats are challenged.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Why the fuck was this alerted on???
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I chose to leave this only because it is in a protected group. However, I think it is inappropriate to describe Sanders' supporters as "wetting their pants". These kinds of posts do nothing to engender civil discourse.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: It's just a rebuttal. It doesn't have to be true. This the kind of stuff gets you banned from the Hillary Group.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: This post is juvenile at best. It shows how some supporters like to throw mud, when it needn't be the case. Leave it as an example.
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

But keep in mind that there will be small states, especially in New England such as NH and Vermont where Bernie is way ahead. Also in other non-diverse there are other states such as Iowa and Kansas where Bernie is about even or perhaps a bit ahead. Those bring down the average of Hillary overall lead.

Southern and big states are a lot more more diverse with the potential to give Hillary large delegate leads. We have already gone through caucus and primary states where Bernie had the advantage and he is one pledged delegate behind, not to mention the super delegates who are pledged to Hillary and that number is growing everyday. We are about to enter a segment of the campaign were Bernie will be a huge disadvantage.

Also individual polls, no matter how well structured, can be off. And this doesn't even sound like a good national poll.

18. Republicans want to run against Bernie.

They have been very careful in their criticisms of him so far. If he were to be the nominee they would tear him to shreds. Socialism! Higher taxes! Government insurance! Honeymoon in Moscow! OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!

They would tear the hide off him. Why do you think Rove and his SuperPac were helping him in Nevada? They want him as the nominee. They could tear six points of his poll numbers in the first week. Hillary has bullshit thrown at her for 25 yrs and she's still standing and they know it. Not to mention the experience factor.......she blows everyone else away. If I were them, I'd rather run against Bernie too.
