Very good signs...
In fact, the last time she did this was in January when Sanders surged in the polls.
And in case you people don't know, the NY Quinnipiac poll shows Hillary has 66% of support among Blacks. That's terrible: It's less than what she had in Illinois, Michigan or Missouri and MUCH less than what she had in the southern states.
It's going to be superhard but we CAN do this. Losing her home state will seriously damage her! And once we survive the next Super Tuesday, we're going to have a lot of momentum. Keep working Berners!
New Yorkers better rally and show this NYINO the door. She carpetbagged your great state to further her political ambitions and ego.

(99,711 posts)That's even higher than the 70% figure she reached in the Sunshine State and the Lone Star State. It also augurs well for the Golden State.

(9,657 posts)they are saying the numbers are $300,000 to $50,000
ignoring hc's $300,000 comes from lobbyist and bundlers
ignoring the 4.5 million her superpac has taken from the fossil fuel industry
poor bill press tried to get a word edgewise to explain green peace's position but the "reporter" and the hc supporter interrupted him and talked over him
the loss of a true free press is one of our biggest problems

Hillary Clintons campaign has been backed by the fossil fuel industry in a number of ways.
First, there are the direct contributions from people working for fossil fuel companies to Clintons campaign committee. According to the most recent filings, the committee has received $309,107 (as of March 21, 2016; source: Center for Responsive Politics) from such donors.
Next are the fossil fuel lobbyists, many of whom have also bundled contributions. These donations also flow to Clintons campaign committee. Greenpeace has tracked $1,465,610 in bundled and direct donations from lobbyists currently registered as lobbying for the fossil fuel industry.
Last are contributions from fossil fuel interests to Super PACs supporting Hillary Clinton. Greenpeace has found $3,250,000 in donations from large donors connected to the fossil fuel industry to Priorities Action USA, a Super PAC supporting Secretary Clintons campaign.
All told, the campaign to elect Hillary Clinton for president in 2016 has received more than $4.5 million from lobbyists, bundlers, and large donors connected the fossil fuel industry.
