I'm not talking about a straw poll EffieBlack Jan 2019 #7
Aren't you drawing conclusions based on the results of your DU straw poll? oberliner Jan 2019 #9

He may. But if another candidate pulls more people away from Hortensis Jan 2019 #60

He still seems to have a lot of support among progressives in the party oberliner Jan 2019 #38
And, he's lost a lot. Cha Jan 2019 #104
Ohhhh, now I see Bernie's end game... to win!!! Thanks for opening our eyes!!! InAbLuEsTaTe Jan 2019 #13

DFA only polled their own members: George II Jan 2019 #65
It should be noted that this was a straw poll of Trumpocalypse Jan 2019 #102
A straw poll of DFA members, 88 percent voted to have DFA endorse him for 2016 karynnj Jan 2019 #114
This poll suggests he may have a tough time with DUers milestogo Jan 2019 #5
Of course - it's a DU poll EffieBlack Jan 2019 #8
I wouldn't say DU is full of people who voted for Bernie in 2016 anymore. It was once, but not now. aikoaiko Jan 2019 #19
Agreed. DU has a lot less Bernie supporters left anymore Arazi Jan 2019 #36
A lot less indeed. David__77 Jan 2019 #92
Independent Bernie lost by nearly 4 million votes last time John Fante Jan 2019 #48
I see the same thing on twitter.. very Cha Jan 2019 #105
occam's razor. when sanders ran in 2016 nobody thought he would be runner up, Kurt V. Jan 2019 #6
Yes & he started with almost ZERO name recognition. Now he will start off with high poll numbers... InAbLuEsTaTe Jan 2019 #15
Agree, this time he has name recognition and a email donation list. Autumn Jan 2019 #21
I'm not sure the name recognition is a benefit at this point. BannonsLiver Jan 2019 #99
There were barely any other candidates to choose from besides him and Hillary. BlueStater Jan 2019 #22
6 i believe. we wont have that problem this time. Kurt V. Jan 2019 #25

So far 8 Democrats have announced they will run for President. Only Bernie will siphon Autumn Jan 2019 #20
You've completely missed my point. I didn't say anything of the sort EffieBlack Jan 2019 #23
I didn't say you said anything of the sort. That post was not to you, it was a response to another Autumn Jan 2019 #34
As usual Autumn, you get right to the heart of it... it truly is laughable!! InAbLuEsTaTe Jan 2019 #24
Why doesn't he run in his own party? cwydro Jan 2019 #42
If he ran as an Independent the Democrat on the ticket would lose votes. Autumn Jan 2019 #55
The young people who never show up to vote at all? cwydro Jan 2019 #63
You sure about that? Autumn Jan 2019 #66
Meh. Far more older voters turn out. cwydro Jan 2019 #68
Bernie might be history but we older voters won't live forever, the smart thing Autumn Jan 2019 #69
We can agree on that. cwydro Jan 2019 #77
Guess I misunderstood what you were sayin. InAbLuEsTaTe Jan 2019 #112
So 78 of the people on DU who wouldn't vote for him last time still won't vote for him again. Autumn Jan 2019 #14
hahaha!! good one!! InAbLuEsTaTe Jan 2019 #16
And not one person said they didn't vote for him before but would vote for him now EffieBlack Jan 2019 #26
We'll see what the voters have to say. yardwork Jan 2019 #33
And in your poll you got 10 people who supported him last time and will support him again. Autumn Jan 2019 #40
I think you're overlooking the logic in Effie's post. yardwork Jan 2019 #43
No I'm really not. DU has few Sanders supporters and some of them ignore Autumn Jan 2019 #49
I see a lot of Good News on Twitter posts.. Cha Jan 2019 #100
I didn't even see this poll, so I never even voted in it and I am sure there are others. vsrazdem Jan 2019 #79
In his own bubble of support, mcar Jan 2019 #18
His game is the same as before. yardwork Jan 2019 #27
right.. same ol same ol Cha Jan 2019 #107
His end game? To not be exposed? ecstatic Jan 2019 #28
Has he joined the Democratic Party yet? dhol82 Jan 2019 #29
He is going to run as a Democrat oberliner Jan 2019 #31
Then when will he change his affiliation? dhol82 Jan 2019 #32

Trump ran as a Democrat? EffieBlack Jan 2019 #45
Roughly 77% of Sanders' voters did not vote for Hortensis Jan 2019 #115

IMO Bernie is a candidate from Elections past who was unsuccessful democratisphere Jan 2019 #47
Yep that horse died a long time ago, but safeinOhio Jan 2019 #54
Agreed. Primaries without the influence of Russian controlled democratisphere Jan 2019 #76
He's going to have to OPENLY and explicitly address the misogynist climate in his last campaign... George II Jan 2019 #52
He clearly has lost support according to most polls dsc Jan 2019 #53
I think Sanders has a shot NewJeffCT Jan 2019 #56
How he uses the Democratic party doesn't set well with me. I don't like what he does in Vermont. catbyte Jan 2019 #57
I'll admit I'm one who really hopes Bernie doesn't run FakeNoose Jan 2019 #58
I don't see that he is even murielm99 Jan 2019 #88
There is the perfect time for candidates to run and Bernie's was the last election. Vinca Jan 2019 #61
He filled a pretty big ideological void last time BeyondGeography Jan 2019 #73
I am not seeing that, either. murielm99 Jan 2019 #90
Ah yes, the platform argument BeyondGeography Jan 2019 #93
Are you saying that is not true? murielm99 Jan 2019 #94

You just used a DU polll of like 123 people to make your assesment here? Okay... JCanete Jan 2019 #64
No it hasn't... No it's not. NurseJackie Jan 2019 #78
that's not true. There are absolutley landline polls in the mix. Where did you get your notion? nt JCanete Jan 2019 #81
Okay... there are landline polls "in the mix" ... sure. Go with that! NurseJackie Jan 2019 #82
I did. your counter is emogies. They aren't the best substitute for words. nt JCanete Jan 2019 #85
Aw. NurseJackie Jan 2019 #87
Yeah, keep telling yourself that. I'm sure you've got all the factual ammunition in the world...you JCanete Jan 2019 #89
It's not about me. NurseJackie Jan 2019 #91
feel free to pm me your facts.... JCanete Jan 2019 #96
I'll get right on that. Stand by. NurseJackie Jan 2019 #97
hahaha...yeah, we can both laugh about that one, can't we. nt JCanete Jan 2019 #101
