Clinton takes Trump by fifteen and Bush by eight in that poll. NCTraveler Nov 2015 #1
Don't see what's shocking about the poll. InAbLuEsTaTe Nov 2015 #7
I DO!! But no one is talking about it!! SkyDaddy7 Nov 2015 #79
True that. mmonk Nov 2015 #20

The real question is which way do you want the party to go? Spitfire of ATJ Nov 2015 #41
Yay for that! vlakitti Nov 2015 #42
I support Bernie but it is ludicrous to think Bernie will receive more cross-overs than Hillary LonePirate Nov 2015 #18

Yes, I see your thought process. floriduck Nov 2015 #57
This thinking is detatched from reality. Ed Suspicious Nov 2015 #34
And you think the theory of more repubs voting for Bernie is based on reality? LonePirate Nov 2015 #37

I'm MUCH more interested in electing a GOOD, DEMOCRATIC President. bvar22 Nov 2015 #39
Wrong, Hillary has practically ZERO crossover appeal. Bernie has intense support from disillusioned sabrina 1 Nov 2015 #45
That's not what I'm seeing among my independent and sane Republican friends Blue_In_AK Nov 2015 #46
REPUBS HATE, I repeat, HATE Hillary with a burning passion. There's no way on this green Earth in_cog_ni_to Nov 2015 #47

Hillary's ties to the banks only attract latte liberals - TBF Nov 2015 #54
Strange; this poll shows both to be about equally, and easily, electable whatthehey Nov 2015 #51
Actually it was a jury that had your post hidden. Agschmid Nov 2015 #55

Anybody who believes the two parties are similar isn't paying attention mythology Nov 2015 #56

What we're seeing here is that the GOP is not a factor in the 2016 election Jack Rabbit Nov 2015 #35
