If you flip a thousand pennies and flip each one 10 times, a few will land heads up every time.

If you take one of those heads-only pennies and flip it an 11th time, the odds of it landing heads up is 50%, just like every other penny in the world.

Polls are no different than pennies.

Perhaps the Dem kingmakers will choose Kerry or Biden or Warren. They will not allow Bernie to win nomination. I predict Dem voter turnout of dead and alive voters will be down.

The fact that Bernie Sanders is polling over 2% shows how really desperate the Democrats are to vote for anyone other than Hillary.

I can’t tell you how happy this makes me. Let Hillary spend her Sharia-supporting donor money on working to defeat Bernie! Make. Her. Work. More press events, more rallys, more exposure. She hates that. Her team hates that.

It’s good for America.

Hillary will never be POTUS.

It is amazing ho non news the Republican numbers are. Trump, mid 30s, and a double digit lead over Cruz in 2nd. But compare them to last month’s IBD poll, which is the only way polls should be compared: Trump 34 (+7), Cruz 18 (+5), Rubio 9(-5), Carson 8(-7), Christie 4 (+2), Jebby 4 (+1). I suppose Jebby’s gain of 1 is some sort of solace

not that he's such a great candidate

He actually IS a great candidate - that's the only thing he's good at, but you have to give the devil his due.

He's energetic, good at playing dumb, and vicious.

He ate Paul Ryan alive.

This is starting to look like Obama 2008 all over again for Bill Clinton's WINO.

What a nightmare this woman is.

I am shocked Sanders is doing so well. I doubt most people even knew who he was a year ago.

I would not sell Bernie short. I rarely encounter anyone under 30 who has not drunk the Kool-Aid. When he promises to tax Wall Street to boost Social Security checks he’ll garner a big chunk of the Seasoned Citizen population too.

No, O’Malleys vanishing is completely explicable.

OK, pimping a news paper for 9 years, never answering a reply. Post and run, very short excerpts. Rules allow up to 300 words in an excerpt.

Of course if you post more than a few words, you won’t get as many clicks on your own article that you post.

The very definition of “pimping”.

Not really. Keep a close eye on Trump and his rallies. A LOT of older folks. The Dems are toast.

Except that, in this case the particular poll, the penny always landed right side up - for the past 100 years.

IBD editorial writer, posting very short excerpts for 9 straight years, without ever answering a reply.

In addition to posting history is donating history.

A quick look at the data from 2015 thru 2002, 13 years, shows nada.

Could be a big anonymous donor... but I have my suspicions.
