Compare a typical Bernie event with a typical Hillary event

[pdsimdars]

I've always wanted to see a picture like this so I did it myself.




Enjoy

[TIME TO PANIC]

1. K & R!

[book_worm]

2. In other words he prefers big rallies while she prefers smaller more intimate

groups. So far this campaign she is winning.

[valerief]

3. That's kinda like comparing a block party to a bank account. nt

[RiverLover]

4. DU really doesn't reflect the party. If it did, we'd have MANY more Bernie supporters here! /nt

[wyldwolf]

5. Like a Justin Bieber concert vs. a more serious artist

[DrDan]

8. lol - exactly!

Bieber vs Casals

[livetohike]

14. Good one!

[pdsimdars]

46. Well, if this was a wine tour and you were having a fireside chat with your pals, OK

But this is an election and it's all about numbers. And big crowds tend to have more people than small, intimate settings, in case you hadn't noticed.

[wyldwolf]

47. yeah, tell Rand Paul that

[BeyondGeography]

6. She has about 1.4 million more votes so far

[DrDan]

7. and how do those differences manifest themselves at the polls? just curious

[pdsimdars]

9. Good point

Bernie has been beating all of the GOP candidates in the polls by large margins for months.
Hillary has been losing to almost all GOP candidates in the polls for months.
Lately, she finally got 1% more than Trump but lost to all the others. She even lost to Bush.

I don't think the name-recognition/popularity contest within the Democratic party is the important thing . . the real deal is the matchup with the GOP candidates. And Bernie beats hands down.

[consciouslocs]

10. Actually...

It does matter what happens in the primary. If he cannot win enough delegates, it does not make a difference how he stacks up against the GOP candidates.

[desmiller]

13. And if Sanders not the nominee,

those delegates' efforts will cause a backlash of epic proportion.

[YCHDT]

43. so if more people vote for Hillary than Sanders and the delegates choose accordingly there will

... still be a backlash?

Sounds like the DNC doesn't need the backlashers in the first place, they're not into the whole democracy or plurality thing

[Gwhittey]

17. Wait

For awhile it was said to be Sanders can't beat GOP but Hillary can and she should win because we must make sure a democrat wins. Now it does not matter who is better to beat the GOP?

[consciouslocs]

19. All I'm saying

Is you have to win the delegates before a national poll is really relevant at this point.

[DrDan]

11. did you ever notice how football teams looking beyond their current opponent regret it

[consciouslocs]

12. That is why...

I do not take much stock in these national polls yet. You have to compete in every state and win the base of your party before those polls are relevant.

[livetohike]

15. So Bernie prefers to talk at people and Hillary prefers to talk

with people.

[Marr]

25. Odd-- that's the talk where she had the BLM protestor thrown out. /nt

[MaggieD]

16. Bernie talks AT people - Hillary talks WITH people

I know lots and lots of Hillary supporters, and every single one of them can't wait to vote for her (or has already done so).

I think Bernie is just very uncomfortable in one on one conversations with voters. That, IMO, is why he hasn't been able to resonate with so many folks in so many demographic groups.

[Casandia]

20. Ummm....no....

In Flint - MY CITY - Hillary talked TO people in a church, and Bernie LISTENED to people in a church. Hillary filmed her SPEECH to make a political ad, and Bernie?? Haven't seen his add yet where people are talking to him ..... Something tells me he will either 1. Write legislation to help the citizens of Flint as a Senator, or 2. Make serious changes as the President next year to help people in Flint.
Just my opinion.

[MaggieD]

21. Watch who wins MI

[Casandia]

22. Ya, I know

Hillary swooped down on our very newly elected mayor, who never held an elected position of ANY office (let alone mayor of a city in the middle of a catastrophe) before, in the midst of an overwelming tragedy, and takes our dear mayor under her "wing" ..... Ya, I know how things work in Michigan .....
Some day I should write a book....

[MaggieD]

31. While Bernie released a statement....

... As his sole means of political respons. See the difference? Bernie doesn't like one on ones with people.

[Marr]

27. Let's look at another angle from the same 'talk'.

lol, 'Hillary talks WITH people'. Uh-huh.

[MaggieD]

32. Oh please - didn't she work for Cornell West at some point?

Whatever.

[Marr]

34. Wow.

I'm always amazed at how thin and insubstantial 'support' from party loyalists really is.

This is the problem with making 'win the election' your only real principle.

[MaggieD]

35. Well that and she lied about what Clinton said

There must have some reason she lied about that, right?

[Marr]

36. Oh, she's a liar, too?

She wasn't quoting Hillary and asking her to explain her remarks?

[MaggieD]

37. Yes

She claimed Hillary called "black kids" super predators and Hillary never said that. So yes, that is a lie. There is some connection to Cornell West and the Sanders campaign here. Mark my words.

[Marr]

38. Uh-huh.

Everyone knew who she was talking about at the time, and you know it. Do you excuse Republicans' coded language and dog whistles, or just Hillary's?

[MaggieD]

39. If that were true the lie wouldn't be necessary

People lie for a reason.

[Marr]

40. Exactly, MaggieD-- it wasn't a lie.

I'm glad you agree.

[YCHDT]

44. Did she really work for Cornell West?

[MaggieD]

45. That's what I saw on FB

Supposedly some pic of them together.

[Vote2016]

18. I feel bad for the only under-60 kid whose Grandma made him come to see Hillary

[Hekate]

23. Nice images: He lectures, She listens. Yeah!

[Casandia]

24. You don"t see the picture of Bernie at Woodside Church LISTENING to the community because

he didn't take pictures or video his townhall forum for a political ad. He listened to the residents of Flint. The picture you see of Bernie in this post is perhaps at Michigan State in Lansing or Eastern University in Ypsilanti. Jeesh.
Oh - by the way - Hillary gave a SPEECH to the citizens of Flint when she came here. This picture of Hillary giving a speech is NOT her speaking to the residents of Flint.
Another JEESH.

[riversedge]

26. In the majority of cases, Sanders just lectures.

[BernieforPres2016]

33. Yeah, Hillary is a listener. She really listened to that BLM protestor in Charleston.

[cherokeeprogressive]

42. She doesn't listen... she points. Both barrels!

[awake]

28. Bernie talks to the People while Hillary has meetings with donors

That was a Hillary fund raiser (which she seem to need to do more that she planed to do)

[amborin]

29. ^^ this ^^

[Petrushka]

30. K & R

[cherokeeprogressive]

41. I bet there's more net worth in her picture than there is in his. nt
