???????.

How can DU, in terms of whom we support be so different than national polls ?

If legit ??? That is, if no one manipulating results of OUR primaries, polls, and caucuses ( #$@&$), then..... Would love it if the Sanders supporters here would help the rest of us.

Help/Make us love him. For me, it's light years away, at this point.

Trump Gives Defense Department Power To Abolish Bargaining For Civilian Unions

https://www.yahoo.com/huffpost/collective-bargaining-union-trump-defense-department-125030181.html

President Donald Trump has officially granted the Department of Defense the legal authority to abolish the collective bargaining rights of its civilian labor unions representing some 750,000 workers.

Gutting the unions would provide “maximum flexibility,” Trump wrote in a memo published Thursday in the Federal Register, which was first reported by Government Executive.

Trump signed the memo three weeks ago, invoking “national security” to justify granting the Defense Department an exemption from the law giving all federal workers the right to unionize.

Dems unwittingly gave up WH tonight

Unless everything does a complete turnaround.

Instead of concentrating exclusively on the monster in the WH, they fought against Bloomberg. How silly and shortsighted and stupendously inane. The guy who's spending MILLIONS on ads against the greatest threat to life as we know it? And we attack? Whoever Dems are paying for strategy advice - they are paying too much.

Honestly have absolutely zero ideas on how to turn this ship around. But, bet Carville or Bill Clinton know.

Meanwhile trump marches on with his criminality. And our side says, " not gonna go after anything except maybe judge tampering.".

We are not talking big picture? wth. It's really

Initial gut reaction. Bloomberg gone.

Biden only one who maintains matchup lead in swing states

Vs. matchup lead overall

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/meet-the-press/nbc-news-wsj-poll-sanders-opens-double-digit-national-lead-n1138191

Snip


In hypothetical general-election matchups, Trump trails five major Democratic candidates, but all of his deficits — except against Biden — are within the poll's margin of error.

Biden leads Trump nationally by 8 points, 52 percent to 44 percent. Bloomberg is ahead by 7 points, 50 percent to 43 percent. Sanders (50 percent to 46 percent) and Buttigieg (48 percent to 44 percent) hold 4-point advantages over Trump. And Klobuchar leads the president by 3 points, 48 percent to 45 percent.

But many of these margins get smaller when the race is narrowed to voters from 11 battleground states — Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin

Bloomberg's lead decreases to 2 points, (48 percent to 46 percent); Sanders (49 percent to 48 percent) and Klobuchar (48 percent to 47 percent) to 1 point; and Buttigieg is tied with Trump (47 percent to 47 percent).

Only Biden maintains his same lead, 52 percent to 44 percent
