Listen to this - Bernie won Independents tonite. Hillary wins Democrats.

We know that you cannot win the GE without Indies - I think(?) the US is pretty much split even between R,D,I.

I don't know what to do with information
But I had to share.

It means something.

What do you make of this?

ETA - Maybe Bernie can hold Hillary back enough where she can't get the magic 2383 & we can have a brokered convention?

1. They don't want Independents, they don't want liberal and left Democrats...

They must be counting on appealing to Republicans?

2. they are now the Repubs as

they want as few people voting as possible!! Just a few more than the actual Repubs, I should say.

They want us to disappear during the primaries and reappear to vote for their candidate in November. Tough shit!!

3. They expect

the left, the real democrats, to be forced to vote for Hillary as the lesser of two evils.

4. If you follow this strategy long enough, you reach a point where people

are unlikely to turn out because both choices are so unacceptable that the difference between them becomes irrelevant.

5. Don't know if I can do this. She better start earning my vote because right now Jill Stein

is looking pretty good to me.

6. 43% = Independents....30% Democrats (soon to plummet even lower) and 26% Repubs admit being Repubs

7. I'm hoping his campaign is looking at this and figuring out what to do with this info. It doesn't

help with the primaries but it means something for the GE.

8. This is not new

Bernie won independents 71-28 in Michigan while Hillary won Democrats 57-41. It is an illustration of why Hillary is going to be such a terrible general election candidate.

How was the rally in Phoenix? Glad you got to see it before the disappointing results came in tonight.
