Bernie draws 5x as many people to his rally as Hillary did 2 days before at same place!

[peacebird]

Tell me again how Hillary is Miss Inevitable & Bernie can't win? Seems to me like the Hillary supporters are the ones who haven't got the message - the times they are a changing!

1. Hmmmm...

While Clinton's event was open to the public, aides said that it was not meant to draw a rally-sized crowd and that Clinton was focused on holding a thoughtful discussion. Sanders’s event, which his campaign said drew more than 3,000 people, was held at a time more convenient for students.

Then why make it public? Isn't the point of a public event to get your ideas in front of as many people as possible?

[peacebird]

2. Clinton wanted a 'thoughtful discussion' with 300 people? Really? She just does not inspire people

Or excite them. That's why her events are so small... Even her "official announcement" in NYC was a small venue and the overflow areas were EMPTY.

But lordy she CAN bring in the $$$..... The 1% know she has their back!

[hootinholler]

11. It's like when a cat screws up

They are all "I meant to do that!" as they collect themselves and strut off.

[Major Hogwash]

18. No kidding!

She's not in to having thoughtful discussions, either.
She just holds these events so she can collect the checks.

[Walk away]

3. OK "Hillary is Miss Inevitable & Bernie can't win" nt

[peacebird]

5. Cute. But Hillary cannot win in the general. She generates zero enthusiasm, and the more people

hear from her the more she drops in the polls.

Exactly opposite of Bernie, who is climbing in the polls as more people hear his message!

[kracer20]

8. You are totally wrong

Hillary gererates a ton of enthusiasm, unfortunately that enthusiasm is on the right side of the aisle, and they will be coming out to vote against her.

The only thing that the right probably hates more than Obama is Hillary, and they are frothing at the mouth to be able to get out and vote against her. Do not underestimate the amount of people that will only be voting for that reason.

[peacebird]

9. On this we totally agree, which is why I say Hillary cannot win in the GE

[Walk away]

23. But they will all love to vote for an avowed Socialist!

That should go over like a lead balloon everywhere outside of Emoprogressive Land!

[beam me up scottie]

24. Stale right wing talking point.

[Walk away]

25. So you are saying that Bernie Sanders is not a Socialist, has never called himself a Socialist....

I just want to get this straight. Because I don't like to be accused of lying and I am a life long Democrat. If you are sure that Bernie has never claimed to be a Socialist. Type it out right here please.

Otherwise, it isn't a talking point. It is the truth.

[beam me up scottie]

27. ...

[jeff47]

30. Wow....That is a really dumb post.

In the cartoon, Sanders is actually holding a "Socialist" sign, and you claim that means "he never called himself a Socialist"?

If you're thinking of making a post that dumb, just stop. It makes you look really foolish.

[Walk away]

34. Sigh. Pretend not to understand and don't answer my question.

Has Bernie Sanders ever called himself a Socialist? It must be some sort of big secret! I would think he and you would be proud of it!

[jeff47]

35. Understand the pile of stupid you're putting in posts?

You're obviously trying to set it up as a smear, ignoring the fact that the cartoon already listed it as a "smear" he does not hide from.

Why, exactly, should I play the stupid game you're trying to play?

[rhett o rick]

31. Lame try. There isn't an "avowed socialist" running. Sen Sanders is getting more

crossover support that H.Clinton will ever get.

If you want a Democrat in the WH, better support Sanders. He has far less baggage.

[passiveporcupine]

12. I love all these absolutes!

They make me giggle.

From either side. It's like some people have to try extra hard to convince themselves.

[CharlotteVale]

4. K&R

[Metric System]

6. And that's why Ron Paul is our current President.

[virtualobserver]

7. Ron Paul never drew more than 11,000, and he did so in the heat of the primaries....

so it is a weak comparison.

You think that Bernie's rallies are large now.....just wait until next year.

[uberblonde]

17. Ah, but President Eugene McCarthy did!

He drew crowds of 40,000. Guess that's why he won.

[virtualobserver]

19. He got the most votes.......

but nominations then were controlled by state parties, they chose the delegates.

[mhatrw]

21. Good example. How did that work out for Democrats?

It worked out great for the establishment.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

29. Perhaps Hillary will see the handwriting on the wall they way LBJ did.

[morningfog]

10. And that's why Hillary Clinton is our current President.

[Le Taz Hot]

13. Are you being mean to Hillary again?

You're gonna hurt someone's fee fees if you keep this up.

[zentrum]

14. They are a changing!

[AzDar]

15. Bernie!!

[SoapBox]

16. Whatever the heck she's doing...

I just want Camp Weathervane to keep doing what they are doing...nothing.

Just keep her out of the public at large, keep her at her $2700 a plate Dinners with Banksters and don't forget the private, by invitation "Listening!" get togethers.

The longer she's out of sight, the better for Bernie as he is rallying Americans for real change.

Go Bernie!

[jfern]

20. Note that the other way around wouldn't happen

Hillary doesn't have rallies where Bernie did, because that makes the comparison too easy.

[Garrett78]

22. Rally crowds don't equate to voters.

As for the argument someone else made about Clinton inspiring right wingers to vote against her in the general election, that's a valid point. Clinton is extremely polarizing with a poor favorable:unfavorable ratio, and I think that has to worry folks. While there is a valid leftist critique of Clinton, there is also a completely irrational right wing hatred of all things Clinton.

[FreakinDJ]

26. Polling the +50 crowd vs: the Get Out the Youth Vote

Which 1 do you think will Win a General Election

[peacebird]

28. Bernie has mobilized hundreds of thousands of volunteers who are actively spreading his message!

[olddots]

32. but. but. but the Bernie people

are unrealistic hippies and hate successful .......bla. bla. .
bla

[rhett o rick]

33. I hear she is practicing her spontaneity. Just sayin. nm
