(10,822 posts)What is wrong with you? Why would you to try to compare numbers of "very uncomfortable" when others down the list have large unknowns? Are you sure you can truly comprehend what these reports are telling you when you can't see something as obvious as that flaw in your reasoning?

How come these other candidates are not clobbering Bernie in these polls if Bernie is as bad as you suggest? Once again, the polling facts establish you are just offering spin and rumor.
These polls are a little fairer but they also suffer some from lack of candidate awareness.
Bernie raised the largest war chest of all of them this quarter by far

Sanders also had another $14 million available for use from previous campaign fund-raising
Sanders has as much cash on hand as the next four who reported campaign money. $6 mil of Beto's $9 mil money came from his previous campaign apparently.
520,000 Sanders supporters are putting their money where their votes are. Again, how can you reconcile that with your claims? You can't with facts. All you're offering is spin/BS.
Pretty hard to reconcile those results with your innuendo and a cherry picked poll that is interpreted poorly.
With his fund raising ability, Sanders will be able to handle whatever oppo research comes his way as well as anyone financially and he'll have the funds to counter punch if he has to.
Those are real facts.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
