In reply to the discussion: Favorability Ratings Show Hillary Clinton Is Unelectable and Bernie Sanders Wins a General Election [View all]kristopher
(29,798 posts)70. More of your distortion and disruption?
Is it possible for you to even once post without engaging via dishonest or misleading action?
As I wrote and you quoted
The difference between Hillary and most others is simple - she is a completely known commodity.

You decided to characterize this in YOUR post as my saying her numbers are "fixed" - so that is your word, not mine.

Since it can also mean, in this context, anchored in people's minds, I let it go. But you've decided to embellish your characterization of "a know commodity" and translate fixed from the impression in people's minds to specific polling numbers being "fixed". (Readers should note your use of quotation marks to create the impression it was my specific word you were using and challenging.)
You then play upon the fact that polling inevitably fluctuates within a narrow range to make up a point for you to harp about.
Your actions represent everything unsavory people associate with the way the Clinton campaign operates. You really are not doing yourself any favors in the area of persuasion or leading since the tactics you employ are so obvious; so that leads to the question of what you hope to accomplish with such overtly unethical engagement?
The only conclusion I can arrive at is disruption - you just want to stop people from engaging in discussion that reflects negatively on the candidate you are tasked with promoting.
It isn't going to happen.

So you think grandstanding on the internet will counteract voter preferences.

Yet Hillary is 30+ points over Sanders. To suggest Sanders will win is delusional. n/t
