Who won the debate (see these polls)?

[BigBearJohn]

[AzDar]

1. Bernie is "The Real Deal"...

[tabasco]

2. Didn't get to watch.

Looks like Sanders really did well. Amazing margins.

[CalvinballPro]

21. How many delegates are they worth? Oh... Right...

[CoffeeCat]

30. Wow. Can't we just celebrate

Bernie's terrific debate performance and the fact that many people responding to online polls feel that he did well too?

Why do Clinton supporters have to insert themselves into celebratory Sanders threads and take a big dump?

[Ned_Devine]

33. That person has 10 posts

[CoffeeCat]

39. Maybe manners and a sense of basic decency

comes after 500 posts?

[Ned_Devine]

45. Or, just maybe...

...it was someone that created a profile just to start shit.

[CalvinballPro]

101. Cause people can't be new? What kind of Wall Street pull-the-ladder-up-behind-you mentality is that?

Boy, you folks can't grow your coalition anywhere, can you?

[Ned_Devine]

108. I've been here since 2004 so I know what to look for

[chervilant]

119. "...you folks"?

Well, now, my IL is expanding yet again.

[INdemo]

106. Could they be a Clinton aid ready with a David Brock script to post?

[Gwhittey]

66. That person has been

Blocked

[INdemo]

107. All ready?

[John Poet]

52. Because they are a bunch of

This Post Would Be Hidden By Jury Decision
if I finished that train of thought.

[CoffeeCat]

56. Plain and simple, it's bullying

And I have no idea what the payoff is for them.

Certainly doesn't stop anyone from supporting Bernie.

[panader0]

97. Hey--It's okay to say motherfucker on DU now (about Bernie anyway)

without getting a hide.

[Lizzie Poppet]

60. Because "in their hearts, they know she's wrong."

[raging moderate]

79. "In your guts, you know he's nuts."

That was the retort to this Goldwater ad by the downtown Chicago lawyers who were my mother's employers, back at that time.

[C Moon]

114. :D

[RoccoR5955]

86. GOLDWATER?!?!

You have a lot of nerve posting a pic of that bigot, racist, and most of all RepubliCLOWN on this site!
But then again, if he was alive, he would be supporting Clinton.

[Lizzie Poppet]

88. You're completely mis-reading my post.

That was and (I thought) a pretty obvious bit of snark on Hillary's past (and present) conservatism.

[RoccoR5955]

90. Psst!

I know, I just put it there to rile some folks up.

[Lizzie Poppet]

94. Um...okay.

[bvar22]

109. Hillary campaigned for Goldwater back in the days,

and still reflects many of his values.

[Elmer S. E. Dump]

74. The ONLY way to prevent it is posting in Bernie group.

[Raster]

96. sock puppet says what?

[lunamagica]

3. We'll see on Tuesday who won the debate...

Last edited Mon Mar 7, 2016, 01:38 AM - Edit history (1)

I'll wait for that poll.

[Ron Green]

14. No, we won't.

The primary vote has nothing to do with who "won" the debate, it indicates how persuaded have become a small sample of registered voters, mostly with limited information, who've bothered to go to the polls.

This is a truth that, sadly, applies to the entire US electoral process.

[lunamagica]

55. The point of a debate is to attraact voters to your side. Tuesday will ttell us how well they did.

[Ron Green]

65. You're serious, aren't you?

I guess we'll just have to disagree.

[DesertRat]

4. Online polls are not an accurate measure of public opinion. n/t

[intheflow]

6. And the corporate media is in the business of creating public opinion.

So the truth is somewhere between these online polls going wildly for Sanders and the MSM saying Clinton slammed it.

[JudyM]

22. The Young Turks also were unanimous that Hillary won. I don't agree.The online polls also skew young

[jhart3333]

24. You mean Bernie won?

[JudyM]

25. TYT immediately came out on the same end as MSM: that HRC 'won'. Onliners and I saw it differently.

[jhart3333]

27. Curiouser and curiouser.

[Gwhittey]

67. TYT over thought it

As tyt are very knowledgeable they hit Sanders on what he should of done. Which most people would not think of.

[nadinbrzezinski]

26. They also made an interesting point

they are too close to this.

[JudyM]

38. Right. I was still surprised they saw it that way. The guy with the glasses made some great points

about supporting facts that Bernie could've brought up to 'slam the door' on her rather than remaining gentlemanly.

[nadinbrzezinski]

41. Well I was doing the same

but I am too close to this.

Ergo my scoring on this... depends what part of the debate. Some parts she won some parts he did, some meh!

[putitinD]

31. couldn't have said it better myself

[BigBearJohn]

7. Would you say the same thing if they favored HRC?

[tabasco]

9. But they are instantaneous and an indicator.

I can see why you don't like the indications.

[saltpoint]

19. But they often suggest robust support

for one or another candidate.

Sanders has drawn large enthusiastic crowds across the country. No surprise if an on-line poll reflects similar enthusiasm.

[noretreatnosurrender]

36. You are correct

What they do show is enthusiasm for a candidate online.

[Lorien]

62. I'd love to know, DesertRat

just what portions of Hillary's involvement in:
Iraq
TPP
KXL
Pro arctic drilling
Pro for Profit Prisons
Pro Monsanto
Bankruptcy bill
Voting for a border fence

Pro death penalty
Pro cluster bombing
Pro increased carcinogens in drinking water
Clinton policies lead to the largest mass incarceration of human beings in the history of the world

relate to "love and kindness"? Please explain.

[Ivan Kaputski]

99. ^this^

[floppyboo]

104. Thanks Lorien - copying your list

However, not sure if that's going to stop Hillary fans from looking at me like a just farted when I pass it on. Just don't meet me in an elevator!

[bvar22]

110. Thanks for the list, Lorien.

I added it to mine.

You could also add:
*Voted FOR and supports The Patriot Act

*Voted FOR and defends the Wall Street No Strings Attached Bailout

[Lizzie Poppet]

63. You are quite correct.

I'm pleased to see these results, and I agree with those poll voters about who won...but self-selecting polls are not a scientific methodology.

[SheenaR]

5. Yes

We Love you Bernie!!


Oh wait, I actually can form real opinions. Gotta stop reading that Hill group.

Chris Cilizza aside, people watching this debate cannot deny that both candidates had good moments tonight. Personally, authenticity and issues that speak to me are the tiebreaker. And he wins that battle every time

[kgnu_fan]

8. Code Pink Poll: Sanders 81%, Clinton 19%

https://twitter.com/codepink/status/706678217164218368

[CalvinballPro]

10. Are we still pretending that online post-debate polls mean anything? I thought we were beyond that

[Matariki]

16. When we all know that what matters is what tv pundits tell us.

[putitinD]

34. but every online poll is saying the same thing

[noiretextatique]

93. Only win Bernie wins eom

[Starry Messenger]

117. It's DUs version of creation science.

Unfortunately.

[FreakinDJ]

11. Hillary reminded me of Poppy Bush looking at his watch

How ironic it was Bill Clinton he was debating

[putitinD]

37. me too, it was like she couldn't wait to get this thing over with

[bvf]

103. I'm so glad you brought that up!

I mentioned it the other day in a post and wondered if it would resonate. Happy to see that particilar Bush debate moment stuck, and that Hillary's own demeanor would evoke it.

[grossproffit]

12. Too bad voting online isn't an option during primaries.

[PeaceNikki]

13. President Ron Paul wishes Sanders well.

[Matariki]

15. Don't worry. The media will fix those by morning.

[onehandle]

17. CLICKY CLICKY! nt

[zentrum]

18. Thanks.

Was waiting for these.

[left-of-center2012]

20. Polls are only accurate when Hillary wins

[tomm2thumbs]

32. B I N G O

"You can't say I don't pay attention to polls, right after citing a poll" 1:10 in

[RoccoR5955]

87. That is not sarcasm

That is the Queen's honest truth, according to Camp Weathervane.

[FailureToCommunicate]

23. Wasn't able to watch tonight, but this is one "spoiler alert" that I'm glad to know ahead of time!

[oberliner]

28. They used to have to remove Ron Paul's name from the choices

Because he would win every single online post-debate poll by ridiculous margins.

[Ed Suspicious]

43. My brother was a huge Paul fan. He really isn't really a fan of some of Bernie's policies.

He told me the media is doing Bernie in exactly the same way they did Ron Paul.

[oberliner]

49. I can understand that

Though I think Bernie is much more popular than Ron ever was.

[basselope]

29. Anyone who watched the debate knew Bernie "won"

Clinton looked rattled and uncomfortable.

[putitinD]

42. pretty sure the lady who asked the religeous question was a hillary plant

[basselope]

44. That was a plant?

The response was cringe-worthy.

I let a magical being in the sky help me make my choices.

Bernie hits the nail on the head. Treat others the way you want to be treated.

[putitinD]

47. red meat for the bible belt

[hopemountain]

73. hillary's response gave it away when she

referenced having been in church with that woman and prayed with her a few times ...

[brooklynite]

35. I wonder if the participants realize...

...that after voting in an online poll, they still have to vote at the Caucus or Primary.

[oberliner]

40. The Ron Paul-ites didn't seem to ever figure that out

If you went by online polls, he would've won in a landslide.

[NurseJackie]

46. What's the margin of error?

[stevenleser]

50. LMAO. The margin of error is how many Sanders supporters on Reddit could be directed to the poll!

[dchill]

57. Wow! So, Clinton supporters are blocked on Reddit?

Totally unfair! And sexist, no doubt. Is evitable a word?

[stevenleser]

58. Nope, Non-millenials aren't as big reddit users. nt

[dchill]

59. I'm 64 and don't use Reddit.

I don't vote in online polls anymore, either. But I sure like these!

[stevenleser]

61. Thank you for proving my point. nt

[dchill]

64. You're VERY welcome.

You win. Hillary wins. EVERYBODY wins!

(Except about 99% of us.)

[Colorado Rambler]

69. I'm 64 and I try out everything I can find

I also vote in on-line polls all the time. But I forget - only millennials and Rand Paul fans are on the Internet and I'm really a 14 year-old just fooling around with my I-phone, but 64 or 14, those poll results sure look encouraging to me!

[dchill]

71. Me, too!

[Kip Humphrey]

95. Don't forget that you are also in your underwear sitting in your parents' basement.

I usually skip the underwear part myself.

[SoapBox]

48. Thank you BigBearJohn!

Go Bernie!

On to the Convention!

[BigBearJohn]

72. My pleasure, SoapBox

[PatrickforO]

51. Well, there it is!

And coming into some very favorable states. Bernie can well be in this thing until the convention and maybe even get the nomination!

[ybbor]

53. So if I'm reading these polls correctly, that means the MSM will say HRC won

Hands down.

Silly non-thinking people.

[Erich Bloodaxe BSN]

78. And so they did! You're prescient! nt

[jmowreader]

54. Oh, that's good...

Bernie supporters still know how to clear cookies in their browsers.

[Le Taz Hot]

102. Yeah, you guys might want to

think about learning that skill. I'm sure YouTube has a training video or two on the subject.

[The Midway Rebel]

68. Oh I'm sure its just the cookie clearers and Ron Paul supporters who vote in online polls.

[Major Hogwash]

70. Bernie won.

He won the debate, but somehow that is going to translate in to losing the debate at DU.

[kgnu_fan]

75. Kick

[Erich Bloodaxe BSN]

76. Those Hillary folks just aren't computer savvy.

They can't figure out how to vote in online polls. Otherwise she'd be crushing him in a gravelanche!

[bvf]

105. I remember a short time ago here

where the question was asked by an HRC supporter, "I'm on Twitter. How do I get something to trend?"

That was the most entertaining thread in quite a while.

[vintx]

77. LOL meanwhile people here are posting media spin saying she won.

Too funny

[peacebird]

80. Bernie won 3 of 4 states this weekend! Took in over 5 million individual donations! Beat Hillary

In fundraising in Jan, probably again in Feb.
Refused to be TRUMPed by Hillary as she repeated interrupted his answers and talked over him in last nights debate!


MOMENTUM!

[DarthDem]

82. Wonder What Percentage . . .

. . . of those online voters cited above are (gasp) Republicans, some of them getting paid by RNC? (My guess: 85-90%.)

[RoccoR5955]

91. NO

more like 100-150%, in certain Bizzaro lands.

[tomm2thumbs]

83. To be fair, those really aren't accurate

I didn't get a chance to swing by and put my vote in for Bernie!

[Beacool]

84. I don't do online polls, they don't interest me.

Hilary's supporters show up where it counts, at the voting booth.

[NCTraveler]

85. Wow. Those look like primary numbers on our side in diverse states....Just reversed.

Difference? People actually have to walk away from their computers to do one.

[GreatGazoo]

89. So Sanders won ??

[noiretextatique]

92. All those sites are biased

[Ivan Kaputski]

98. LMFAO

[rtracey]

100. lets see

Lets see who win the nomination... polls can be misaligned.... GO Biden/Warren 2016

[pat_k]

111. Nice to see. Thx. (nt)

[madokie]

112. Bernie kicked some serious butt

and mostly done it in a nice way, being the gentleman he is and all.
Can't wait for him to be dealing with the world leaders in our name. The man is a true gentleman and people pick up on that right off. Only our people blinded by political persuasion can't see it, everyone else does. In this election it is their loss our gain.

[smiley]

113. According to Comcast early morning headlines....

"Hillary Denies Bernie Sanders a Win"

[Dont call me Shirley]

115. This is the turning point.

[Akamai]

116. I sure thought Bernie was the clear winner of the debate because of the clear points he made, time

and again.

There was no smarm from him -- he was focused on his topics and stuck with them.

Great debate!

Go Bernie!

[BigBearJohn]

118. I agree 100%!!!!

[dchill]

120. Kick
