Last time I was in Cleveland, I saw four Sanders signs. Not one for Hillary.

Caucuses are all about people being motivated enough to show up for a process that can last for one or more hours. In Iowa, it will be all about which candidate has more motivated supporters.

They don’t take a poll every year do they.

And as I recall, if its the same poll, it has been wrong more recently than 25 selections ago and the reporting is bogus. That said, the same holds true concerning statistics regardless.

Now the flip of the coin assumed no weighted average, but presuming that polls could be good or bad, then that makes the probability even less remarkable.

If you start with 1000 loaded dice that are 80% likely to come up with a six, then roll each of them 25 times, ~4 of them will give you a six every time. But those dice are no more likely to hit a six than any of the other dice. In short, the statistics of large numbers should not be confused with magic.

For some reason, they want to save their mommy.

They’re nothing but a collection of psychiatric complexes that defy reason.

When has such a collection of so many obnoxious,
psychotic punks been in one place at the same time?

It’s absolutely amazing that so many deluded people can construct so many defenses in such a short time.

IMHO

She’s completely lacking of personal fire and Dems need that emotional fire to get out and vote en masse.

And, I tell you right now, the Dems will NOT empty out the jailhouses, crack houses and HO houses for her like they did for Obama. Also...........

As far as the EVs: The people have to vote before the Electoral College votes and Sanders is so far out, he will be trounced like McGovern (1972) and Mondale (1984)
