Hillary Clinton
Related: About this forumcommon trend I'm noticing
I find it hilarious that whenever Hillary wins a primary Bernie sanders supporters chalk it up to cheating
....but when their candidate wins it suddenly its the "will of the people" and "democracy at its finest".
But all of Hillary's victories are tainted because either those states somehow don't matter or of course she only won because of cheating.
At one point I used to be on the fence about who I would support but Hillary is the clear choice for me. I can't wait to see Hillary kick Trump's ass in the general election

(305 posts)they share is distrusting/dismissing any polls that don't show their candidate in good light
-rethugs made similar mistake when thinking at end of 2012 election that Romney was pulling even with Pres. Obama even though every reputable poll was showing otherwise
I used to actually respect Bernie Sanders supporters....but after the constant nonsense on this board about how they would not vote for Hillary and saying that trump and Hillary are the same they have clearly shown that they don't care aoubt women,minorities, LGBT community being trampled on by Trump victory.
All they care about is their nonfeasible economic policies that BS couldn't even pass even if he became president

(5,648 posts)I think you are seeing what some of us have noticed for a while now - for a number of Sanders' supporters, reality is not their strong suit.

(10,014 posts)It's a well know political strategy, usually used by repugs. Tell people they are not being treated fairly and everyone with 'power' is against them, repeat outrageous lies or misrepresentations, and demonize your opponent.

(34,445 posts)in polls, Sanders beats Trump by a larger margin than does Clinton, because the people support his policies and record more than they do those of Clinton. Obviously , this means that voters know his policies and record well--but how would this be possible if the media didn't cover him? A lot of people don't pay much attention to politics and aren't going to search online to get info about, or go to rallies of, an unknown candidate.
Also, the media have ignored Sanders, and when Clinton wins, it's because of "name recognition." The Republicans have been trashing and bashing her (and not Sanders) for years, and the media have harped on this almost unquestioningly. But this could not possibly have ADVERSELY affected her approval, because everyone knows that "name recognition" always works in a positive direction.
