2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: A grim warning Hillary supporters can’t ignore: The fundamentals of her campaign are looking weak [View all]sabrina 1
(62,325 posts)21. What does Salon's readership have to do with the content of the OP?
Clearly once people hear Sander' Progressive Message, and see he has the record to back it up, it's only to be expected that they are going to like him.
Because all polls show that the majority of the people support Progressive policies, though we have been led to believe for years that this is not the case. NOW we know we have been badly misled.
This is great news for Democrats.
To be honest I don't understand why this is not good news for all Democrats. It means we don't HAVE to 'reach across the aisle' or run on a 'centrist' message which has been terrible for our party and for the people.

A selective reading of stats. Bernie's favorables are more concerning than Hillary's.
