Crickets from the Hillary supporters who argue that less smoothing is the most important thing when it has Bernie going down.

1. looks like he has been climbing steadily for the last 3 weeks

I guess people are starting to pay attention.

2. The polls haven't budged in months.

The primary is over. Hillary wins Iowa in just over three weeks.

3. Whooo Bucko.....there's an article in today's 538 that says Bernie still has a chance in Iowa!!!

4. thats cool

I am still undecided but i will say a very consevartive GOPer said he likes Bernie and would support Berniw over Trump Or Cruz... however if Rubio gets the Nod he would vote for Rubio... it is Hillary vs Trump.. he said he would not vote for either.. just FYI... So it seems Sanders has some crossover appeal........I still would think Hillary would beat Trump or Cruz but with a smaller margin.. Rubio could be a problem though

5. Bernie

I think that Bernie's perceived 'crossover appeal' is due to the fact that he is still relatively unknown among GOP voters. Once properly vetted, and given the onslaught of negative campaigning that is a GOP forte, the crossover appeal will be greatly minimized.

6. Have you seen the speech Bernie made today?

It's really strong and will appeal to a lot of people.

It introduces a new factor into the primary contest: a real plan for strengthening our economy and especially channeling money and financial support to Main Street small businesses.

I recommend watching it.

Bernie kind of puts those who support the status quo in a checkmated position with that speech.

He directly addresses the corruption in our government without belligerently attacking any specific individual or group in our government.

8. No: his cross-over appeal is on the anti-establishment sentiment.

That's what Clinton doesn't have and will never have, and she and her fans just don't get it.

7. I suggest that you watch the speech Bernie made today.

It's a game changer. Bernie has a good plan for helping our economy.

9. The real question is, where are the 8-9% undecideds gonna go?

10. that's "the Sanders Difference": there's never any actual downturn--once people hear of him,

they don't "go back": it's not the usual horse-race politics
