PPP actually has bigger margins sometimes...but I am here to tell you three points is meaningless as are polls this early. Bernie will not be the nominee...so my guess is these polls are old or with very small samples.

Now, why would you do that if you were not attacking Hillary? Those of you who won't vote for Hil, fine...I don't agree but hey it is a free country. However, you should not attempt to attack Hillary who is the Democratic nominee by trying to skirt the rules. If you hate her that much then take a break until after the election. Personally, I despise Bernie but had he won, I would have voted for him. He is way better than Trump.

It's the opposite. We'd be fools to ignore them and I guarantee Hillary pays attention to them.

You'll have to change your expectations of what is an attack if you think posting negative polls qualifies. That's just nonsense.

He registered as a Democrat for crass political purposes, to take advantage of the DNC, the party organization, and to tap into party funds. He's a user who thinks "Democrat" is just a label that can be slapped on & taken off, like one of his cheap suits.

All those results well within the margin of error. There goes Bernie's last bullshit argument lol. Not that it ever meant anything. They hair would roll out the ads with Stalin's face and Bernie's old words supporting various dictators and Marxist regimes and the Iranian revolution and linking him to various hard left radical pals.

America would never elect a self declared socialist for president, let alone one with such a history of saying and supporting some of the world's nastiest regimes. That you can't see that tells me yore either very young or are in denial.

Bernie's positions on Israel/Palestine alone would surely cost him Florida once the debate moved beyond the same old same old occupy Wall Street issues.

Hillary did get a nice turn out in Florida most recently, and that time around it was without Bernie supporters votes. Next time around, I'm sure she will get some Bernie supporters voting for her as well her own voting base as well.

We Bernie supporters already voted for the stronger candidate against Trump. We did our duty.

Now it's up to you and yours to get hustling for the votes HRC will need. Don't count on Bernie bailing you out.
