2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumWhy can't I find any online polls regarding tonight's forum? Weird.
A part of me can't help but wonder if maybe the media outlets don't want them. No focus groups either. Hmmm,..
Maybe I just haven't found them. Does anyone know?

(11,833 posts)Last democratic debate, didn't one of the campaigns pay for google buys to make online polls jump up? Sorry I don't have all the facts, but I read some stuff here about it.
Maybe someone else will have some more information on it.

(62,444 posts)Clearly they have all agreed not to have them, because the polls would all say the wrong thing.

We are being deprived of our right to organize using social media, ensure every Bernie supporter is mobilized, and then descend in mass on debate poll sites to vote as many time as possible in order to ensure that Bernie is declared the winner of all of the debate polls by a large margins. The nerve of those people! The corporate world will go to any lengths to make sure that country stays ignorant of the fact that Bernie always wins every debate just by showing up.

(18,421 posts)CNN isn't even posting a story ABOUT the forum...
Neither is Fox currently... nor do they have a poll...
Nor does the Associated Press...
ALL of these sites had polls last time.
Several don't even have STORIES this time... NEVER MIND their political headline being about the Democratic Forum in South Carolina.
Most are talking about the Keystone XL pipeline.

(1,732 posts)No one is paying attention, unfortunately. Unforced error by the DNC if you ask me. Or perhaps they wanted it that way.

(9,497 posts)But it isn't from today, as I just learned...sorry.
Still, it is interesting.

(7,603 posts)Same principle explains the non-coverage of Bernie's rally crowds. Bernie's hair, his remote resemblance to Larry David, or the Socialist half of Democratic Socialist- now there's some stories for ya.
