Hillary Supporters Are More Enthusiastic Than Bernie Supporters

[bravenak]

Hillary Clinton supporters are extremely or very enthusiastic by 54% to Senator Bernie Sanders supporters who are extremely or very enthusiastic by 44%. So Democrats need not fear no matter which candidate wins the 2016 primaries. Both are capable of whipping up enthusiasm. And there dies another Beltway narrative.

1. Hard to prove that by their rally attendance.

Has Hill had more than 5,000 at an event? That would be a major disappointment at a Sanders rally.

[bravenak]

3. Rally size does not indicate vote totals

[floriduck]

5. But it demonstrates enthusiasm, which your OP mentions. nm

[bravenak]

6. Not everybody shows their enthusiasm the same

[Buddyblazon]

39. I know I like to show my enthusiasm for my candidate...

by not showing up for their rallies.

:eyeroll:

[upaloopa]

9. She leads by over 2.5 million votes. Bernie's rallies aren't turning into votes

[-none]

2. "Enthusiastic" would not be the word I would use.

[beam me up scottie]

4. !

Every time this gets posted it gets funnier!

Y'all are trying WAY too hard!

[Politicalboi]

7. This one and that honesty one

Put in the Bubble for protection of truth. Let's pat ourselves on the back some more.

[beam me up scottie]

8. Don't forget the BERNIE BEATS HIS WIFE meme!

[Scuba]

24. The honesty one was funnier.

[cherokeeprogressive]

11. Now... Imagine bravenak saying that in her best impression of Carlton the Doorman.

Enthusiastic. Like morphine.

[TheFarS1de]

16. I imagine it like this

....Happy and oh so excited

[beam me up scottie]

19. LMAO!

[blueintelligentsia]

10. hahahahaha.....thus the caucus wins!! n/t

[jillan]

12. Then why don't they show up at caucuses? I have no doubt that they are enthusiastic, anyone can tell

that just by hanging out on DU.

Not trying to be snarky, just curious.

[bravenak]

13. I was there at mine.

[jillan]

14. Well - I have no doubt you are enthusiastic!

[ljm2002]

15. If you need a poll...

...to reassure yourself that your side are enthusiastic, well you're kind of missing the whole point.

[riversedge]

26. The poll is for YOU--and other BS fans. We do not need a poll to KNOW and RAH RAH

at the Rally. We know our candidate listens and learns at her Town Halls

[HumanityExperiment]

33. Shorter...

HRC 'listens' to polls for political expediency

[riversedge]

34. No--you missed the point. Instead. You distract. Good Rovian trick.

[HumanityExperiment]

36. Shorter...

[Betty Karlson]

17. Is that why BERNIE is having all these landslides of late?

[bravenak]

18. Caucuses.

Only two left.
Mine was crazy.

[Betty Karlson]

22. Antisemitism is a thing, right?

[bravenak]

23. Just as much as this

There was something here but I don't want everyone to see it.

[Segami]

20. LOL!...The nutters of invention...

[bravenak]

21. Glad you liked it

[Vinca]

25. That's amusing.

I see pictures of Hillary speaking in front of a gallery of people and they look like they're at a funeral. Just yesterday I said something to my husband about this. I said that Trump, even though I can't stand him, and Bernie tend to have events where the people are obviously enthusiastic and having a good time. On the other hand, Hillary, Cruz and Kasich preside over events that are as exciting as mac and cheese day at the nursing home.

[riversedge]

27. Your constant demeaning of Hillary supporters only says more about you.

[Vinca]

28. I'm not demeaning anyone. I'm describing what is there for everyone to see.

Why are you all so glum looking? If you're so happy about your candidate, crack a smile once in awhile.

[riversedge]

37. Your parroting Brit Hume only shows your true self.

[Vinca]

38. I've never listened to Brit Hume.

Apparently you have since you know what he says.

[marmar]

29. ..........

[Bluenorthwest]

30. As Trump supporters demonstrate 'enthusiasim' is often an outward expression of bigotry

They are all hopped up on bias and negativity. Gives them that extra push we've seen so often on DU. All frothed up and doing the full zealot.
Here is an example:

[longship]

31. So say Hillary supporters.

Of course Hillary supporters also simultaneously say that Bernie abuses his wife and that Hillary should not agree to further debates because of Bernie's "tone".

How can anybody support such a wretched candidate?

If Hillary Clinton achieves the nod it will be the most difficult vote of my life. Who convinced me of this is the DU Hillary Clinton group.

[Jarqui]

32. I agree that the billionaires are very enthusiastically spending $350,000 a plate

to buy an important seat at the table to decide Hillary's policies and purchase mainstream media to tell many what to think.

But the masses of $27 donors - millions of them -are with Bernie. And it shows at his rallies.

All we're seeing is the Clinton purchased propaganda sneaking into the media trying to tell us what we really know to be true is wrong:
- that Hillary is not really dishonest and trustworthy (that she's been all her life) - she's the most honest and trustworthy candidate running!!
- that Hillary's dull, semi-lifeless campaign events are really very enthusiastic gatherings
- that Bernie's Alaska super PAC of a few kids signing people up to vote in the general election is the same as Goldman Sachs super PAC donating millions to Hillary

Some of us can see through the BS and what she and her campaign are up to ...

Sadly, some of you should wake up before it's too late and realize this is how she's going to run the country.

[NorthCarolina]

35. Of course, she fills Stadiums all the time. Her average donation is ONLY

$2700, delivered enthusiastically by the least among us.

[Orsino]

40. Does that mean more or less likely to PUMA?

I can't keep track.
