6. Considering she lost, though, it's nice to see today's candidates polling much better this far out.

I wonder how Sanders was doing vs. Trump this far out last time. He was not as well known then, but I know he generally polled well against Trump.

of 3 million and that's not a losing number. The electoral college called the election for tRUMP due
to the known ratfuckery of the reTHUGS and sPutin and don't forget it!
