If the press did its job and voter rolls were accurate, democrats would never win another election.
In this particular case, I don’t think polls matter. It’s a race about enthusiasm. Go look at photos of arenas that she was renting in the fall of 2015 for the primary period...and throughout this spring. These were arenas built for 3,000 to 4,000 people, and she rarely had more than a thousand people show up. There are various photos out there of the half-filled buildings to hear her speak.
Go look at the arenas that Trump has rented....FULL. He generates enthusiasm.
What November is about....is people showing up to vote. Bernie would have generated the enthusiasm to get people to show up....she can’t produce that kind of enthusiasm. Trump ends up with 55 to 60 percent of the vote based on this one single dynamic. Go and look at Romney or McCain....neither one ever really generated real enthusiasm (the root failure of their campaigns in the end).
They would’ve ceased to exist at least a decade ago.
