First they told us Hillary's supporters don't bother to 'clickety click on online polls. But sabrina 1 Nov 2015 #62

Makes perfect sense, Sabrina. polly7 Nov 2015 #77

So, according to you, leftynyc Nov 2015 #66

Well leftynyc Nov 2015 #135

So Hillary supporters are generally smarter than other candidate's supporters? I know you'd like to Ed Suspicious Nov 2015 #136

It just seems strange that Hillary's supporters don't participate in them, The Velveteen Ocelot Nov 2015 #38

Maybe a greater percentage of HRC's supporters are older, and use the internet less (n/t) thesquanderer Nov 2015 #43

Maybe more Hillary voters understand what clickbait is.nt sufrommich Nov 2015 #45

Maybe they did click, see this thread eg, where at least one supporter says sabrina 1 Nov 2015 #73
