38. No, she is not. She has lost one third of the already shrinking Dem base which was never Bernie's

target to begin with. He was after the huge demographic of Independents who are now the biggest voting bloc, but he IS cutting into even her small base, by one third at this point.

His other large demographic, which Hillary has no support from, is the growing non voter demographic. I eg, have been signing up non voters for Bernie, not part of any traditional polls. Huge numbers of people have opted out of the entire system, see the Mid Terms eg, BECAUSE of the Status Quo, but are bringing them back into the system, rather BERNIE is. Hillary will get none of that vote, neither will Trump et al.

Hillary already has admitted, because they KNOW what you apparently don't, that she 'could lose this' in her email after the last debate. They KNOW they are in trouble because the people are ANGRY and no, they have not recovered what they lost due to the corruption of Wall St. And yes, they are angry that Wall St was bailed out while they were left to try to recover what they lost, homes, jobs, savings and most have not.

Sad that our government is so out of touch with the people they are supposed to represent.

But one candidate in this race understands all of this, and it isn't Hillary.

In other words, Clinton is ahead by a comfortable margin. DanTex Dec 2015 #1
