Is there some reason other than to stick your thumb in the eye of Sanders supporters? I didn't care who won the 2016 primary (I was happy to vote for Clinton, Sanders or O'Malley), but I really don't care about it in May 2018.

A poll is news of interest to those who are following the race, possibly even in decided how to donate.

not doing well

“Mauro, a well-known high school baseball and football coach who heads a wholesale insurance business, has support from 27 percent of likely voters. Axne, a former state government official who operates a digital design firm, has 26 percent. D'Alessandro, who directed U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders' 2016 presidential campaign in Iowa, has 11 percent.”

14. Our Revolution
Sun May 20, 2018, 11:29 PM
May 2018

is an American progressive and social democratic political action organization spun out of Senator Bernie Sanders's 2016 presidential campaign to continue its work.[1] The organization's mission is to educate voters about issues,[2][3] get people involved in the political process, and work to organize and elect progressive candidates. Our Revolution is also the title of a book by Sanders released in November 2016.[4][5]

Our Revolution has seen significant electoral success since its founding in 2016. Notable politicians elected with its support include U. S. Representatives Pramila Jayapal[6] and Jamie Raskin[7], Mayors Randall Woodfin and Chokwe Antar Lumumba of Birmingham and Jackson, respectively, Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner, and Virginia State Delegate Lee Carter.[8]

OR claiming his success is down to them is disingenuous at best, and downright deceptive at worst.

this is about anything other than May 2018.

You're the one bringing up the past.. the reality is.. this is about now.. in the present.

Maybe you should give your advice to Sen Sanders after what he had to say about our Dems on MTP today.

Congress, statehouse and they got the Lt. Governor...Hell, they even took out the long time local committee people.

You can’t win them all but they are very organized.
