The Bernie Sanders Surge Appears To Be Over

FiveThirtyEight

Not long ago, Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders was surging. In just a few months, the Vermont senator halved Hillary Clinton’s lead in Iowa and moved to within shouting distance of her in New Hampshire. But it’s probably time to change the verb tense. No longer is Sanders surging. He has surged. From now on, picking up additional support will be more of a slog.
...
Support for Sanders rocketed up in Iowa but has leveled off since June. The story is nearly the same in New Hampshire. Sanders rose from June to July in the Granite State, but his ascent slowed.
...

I think like Trump he has an enthusiastic core but if it's not Hillary I don't think it'll be Sanders...maybe Biden.

Didn't he just draw 25,000 or so in Portland, Ore.? No big surprise in that crazy town, but I wouldn't count him out just yet - unless he finally flips out over those #blacklivesmatter nuts that keep disrupting his rallies.  :laugh:

Yes but FiveThirtyEight is usually pretty good at statistics.

He just got 27k in LA last night.  The kooks that comprise the Aden base are in for him.

Is he Howard Dean, the sequel?  Support that seems to be a mile wide, yet an inch deep?

Underestimating Bernie Sanders would be an impressively stupid thing to do.

What is it about him that makes you support him?  Be true to yourself and stop this charade, please.

I agree.  Your slow play troll game here has been impressive in any definition of trolling.  You didn't fool me from the beginning, but apparently have others here fooled.

Do you think it's possible that the Hillary Clinton camp set that up in an attempt to sabotage him? I know crowds of 20,000+ Bernie supporters have to be making her nervous.

I saw your post BEFORE you edited it, Dex.

WTF do you think Hillary Clinton is? 

1) She wrote her college thesis title, "There's only the Fight", in which she champions the Saul Alinsky model.

2) She publicly stated that she would like to take the oil companies' profits and redistribute them.

3) She publicly stated that "we need to take some things away from people for the benefit of the common good".

Thought you were smarter than this, Dexter.    :chairbang:

Meh. It's pretty clear what Dex is. I've suspected for a long time that he's a reincarnation of Liberal Spy.
It's not really a big deal. He's generally respectful and harmless. He's a heck of a lot better than some of the "conservatives" who seem to start every post with an insult.

He doesn't bother me either.   But I'd be dishonest not to point out the obvious here.

I agree.  A polite troll is much better than an always nasty 'conservative.'

Besides, it's occasionally enjoyable to parry with a liberal.  Keeps you on your toes!

A polite troll is not a troll. A troll is rude and seeks to upset people. I haven't done that in the nearly two years I've been posting here.
