(710 posts)Still expect a 10 point win, especially after last night...
Be prepared for staged tears during the concession speech on Tuesday night...

As an empathetic individual I would hate to see anybody cry, including Senator Sanders, you?

(99,710 posts)Some folks like to see others feel bad to feel good about themselves. One must find validation where they can, I guess.

(99,710 posts)I don't know why a person would defend a person that likes to see people cry but that's just me:
Strikes me as illiberal.

(6,282 posts)It was a commentary on the cry she made in 2008, which some consider as suspicious.
If you cannot understand what hoosierlib meant there, that is quite sad.

It "is quite sad" that you and your associate(s) are suggesting that Hillary Clinton is some robot, incapable of showing emotion. Congratulations, I guess... You robbed her of her being a human being.
JonLeibowitz
(6,282 posts)Now you wish to imply that when I said "which some consider as suspicious" I personally was espousing such beliefs. What a crock of BS.
DemocratSinceBirth
(99,710 posts)When you and your associate were called out for ridiculing a person for crying you suggested the crying was feigned, thus robbing the person you were ridiculing of their humanity. I find it sad, illiberal, and revealing, but not remotely surprising, considering the source(s).

(99,710 posts)I will not apologize for giving voice to my disapproval for those who take solace in the suffering and misfortune of others. Your associate left the conversation long ago because he or she knew their position was untenable.
It's illiberal to laugh at people when they cry and when called out on it is even worse than illiberal to double down and say the tears are feigned.
To see that lack of empathy on what is an ostensibly liberal board makes me sad.

I expect Bernie to win NH by 10%...

They both did great, except I do believe Hillary was the better debater, more informed on all topics and a better candidate all around.

(2,760 posts)I don't think it's anything significant unless she gets in the neighborhood of 10 or so

(2,760 posts)Comparing polls from a non-intense focus environment to the week before the election.
I have to wonder if anything is really "changing" or are people that were claiming to be undecided now admitting that they will vote for who they were actually going to vote for the whole time anyway. Hillary was never going to lose this race by 30.
I'm his saying that I don't find this movement particularly significant, because I expected it to happen. Like I said, if it gets around 10 points, then I'll start looking at it as real movement.

UMass daily trackiing poll for NH shows an undeniable @HillaryClinton surge. She has moved from 33 to 28 to 22 to 15 in the last 4 days.
