that Bernie Sanders still has a better favorable rating than Hillary Clinton even with the media being highly bias against him.

6. Sanders supporters aren't the spoiler in the general election.

We keep trying to give the establishment fair warning that these things probably will prevent many people from voting for her in the general. If the establishment foists her upon the people, it will be THEIR fault when she loses.

I'm so tired of the narrative that we have to get behind her or it's Trump or Cruz.

No. The truth is that the establishment needs to stop pushing her on us or THEY are responsible for Trump or Cruz.

These numbers bear that out.

also explains why she is trying to take Bernie's numbers down -- eg hers won't go up.

who were engaging in a witch hunt, those numbers will turn sharply around. And just wait till the trap is sprung and Secretary Clinton releases the transcripts of the Goldman Sachs speeches, to great effect! Maximum egg on face to those calling for them!

You all just wait and see. America, prepare to fall in love again.

10. anecdote - some of the Dem voters aren't so excited about Ms. Clinton

last night I had dinner with my brother and his wife. They have been registered Dems for their entire lives and are both 61 years old. The subject of the election came up and my dear sister in law, who is exactly in the Hillary supporters demographics, said (in reference to a Trump vs Clinton election) "I won't vote for either of them". I was shocked!! I thought for sure that she would be on the Hillary team. No way. Both her and my brother want Bernie but don't think that he can win. I asked them to please support him in our primary (California) and they both said "of course!".

Like I said - lifelong Dems who are sick of the party moving further and further to the right. They are convinced that Hillary is a crook and a liar.

13. I hope Jeff Weaver is right

Bernies campaign manager. He was interviewed the other day and says upcoming states are "favorable" to the calendar.

Calif, Oregon(my state for sure) and Wash. State should go to Bernie. MD, and Pennsylvania seem to also be favorable.

I hope Jeff is correct. He's done an outstanding job up to this point.

14. Not trying to start ish but there's a petition@change.org to FEC.

Found this while wondering through people's comments on a Democratic affiliated fb page. DNC, DWS, Tim Canova can't remember.

Not saying some fishy is going on at all, it'd just be nice to know whether our election process has been internally compromised, or not.
