Funtatlaguy's JournalOk, New York, as Nina Turner would say....
The cause is right, and the time is now!
Ignore the polls and the pundits.
Vote for Bernie!
Who is more loyal - Millenials or African Americans?
Had lunch with a Hillary supporter yesterday.
We were debating who would inspire a bigger turnout in November.
My argument was that African Americans are the most loyal demographic of the Democratic Party base.
Conversely, many Millenials backing Bernie are first time voters that relate to Bernie but have no real strong loyalty to the Dem party.
Therefore, I said it would be a whole lot easier for Bernie to get African Americans that voted for Hillary in the primary to actually turn out and vote for him in November than it would be for Hillary to get Millenials that voted for Bernie in the primary.
She agreed with me. But, she still supports Hillary saying she has the experience, blah blah.
Hoping for a post debate/Rome bounce in the polls.
I would think that some of the big polling firms are gathering data in New York this weekend.
How great would it be on Monday morning to see a sizable bounce for Bernie.
Bernie's Team might be playing Hillarys Team like a fiddle
Last night, the challenge seems to have been accepted that Hillary would release her Wall Street transcripts after Bernie releases his tax returns.
I think Bernies team wanted just this scenario.
His tax returns won't have anything controversial.
He is one of the least wealthy in the Senate.
I'm looking forward to seeing this play out.
Her transcripts might just be a game changer if they are full of tons of banker praise.
What new ground will be covered at the debate tonight?
I think Wolf is the moderator.
I'm sure he will ask about "unqualified " and "corporate whore" gates.
But, policy position wise, is there anything new that hasn't already been discussed at previous debates?
Would like to hear from some Jewish Democrats.
I'm a poll nerd.
I like to look at all of the demographic cross tabs.
And, where there has been religious affiliation mentioned, Hillary beats Bernie among Jewish voters.
That surprises me some since Bernie is Jewish.
I've never heard him or Hillary asked about this.
But, I do find it interesting.

Would a sit down with the Pope
help Bernies numbers in New York?
Talk on the tv right now that the trip is a waste of time unless Bernie can get a picture with the Pope and maybe some nice words from the Pope about Bernies economic policies.
Full scorched earth or graceful exit?
That has to be the discussion with Weaver, Devine, Jane, and Bernie.
New Yprk polls have Hillary anywhere from 11-16 points ahead.
That kind of win for her would end Bernies momentum and any chance to change the minds of any super delegates.
So, does Bernie go aftrr her with both barrels at the debate or not?
Bernie & Kasich have same electability argument.
Both can only hope to win in an open convention.
All polling shows that both do better against the other party than their own other party's candidates do.
Bernie claims that he would beat Trump or Cruz by a much higher percentage than Hillary would.
Kasich claims that he is the only Republican that can beat Hillary.
But, their detractors claim that the spotlight hasn't been shined on them yet.
They say that Bernie would wilt under GOP full scrutiny and bashing.
The same, to a lesser extent, has been said of Kasichs later exposure to Dem scrutiny.
It's an interesting argument.
Anybody watching Leave it to beaver family on CNN
Town Hall with Kasich family.
Nerds.
They have 1950s humor and outlook on life.
Cornball jokes and nothing but platitudes. Yuck!
And, to think, he's by far the least offensive of the three goppers left.
