Deranged Rhino Posted April 12, 2016 Posted April 12, 2016 (edited) Sanders the most liked candidate on either side: http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/presidential-races/275943-poll-sanders-is-most-liked-candidate ************************************************************** Colorado Democrats admit mistake cost Sanders delegates; inform Hillary but not Sanders. Bernie Sanders won one more delegate in Colorado than first projected after the Colorado Democratic Party admitted this week that it misreported the March 1 caucus results from 10 precinct locations. The error — first uncovered by The Denver Post — was shared with rival Hillary Clinton's campaign by party officials but kept from Sanders until the Post told his staff Monday night. The mistake is a minor shift with major implications. The new projection now shows the Vermont senator winning 39 delegates in Colorado, compared to 27 for Clinton. Even if Clinton wins all 12 superdelegates in the state, Sanders can finish no worse than a split decision. It contrasts withprior projections from the Post, Bloomberg Politics and The Associated Press that indicatedClinton would probably win the majority of the 78 delegates in Colorado because of her support from party leaders with superdelegate status. http://www.denverpost.com/election/ci_29755029/colorado-democrats-admit-mistake-that-cost-bernie-sanders Edited April 12, 2016 by Deranged Rhino
Chef Jim Posted April 12, 2016 Posted April 12, 2016 Sanders the most liked candidate on either side: http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/presidential-races/275943-poll-sanders-is-most-liked-candidate Most liked? What does that even mean? I like my cat.
B-Man Posted April 12, 2016 Posted April 12, 2016 Most liked? What does that even mean? I like my cat. Mr. Congeniality ?
Deranged Rhino Posted April 12, 2016 Posted April 12, 2016 Most liked? What does that even mean? I like my cat. It means nothing in an fixed election. But it's just interesting to track.
Chef Jim Posted April 12, 2016 Posted April 12, 2016 It means nothing in an fixed election. But it's just interesting to track. No it's stupid to track. Likeability is so subjective. You ask 1,000 why they like someone you're likely to get 1,000 completely different answers. The reasons for liking are interesting not whether or not they're liked.
Tiberius Posted April 12, 2016 Posted April 12, 2016 No it's stupid to track. Likeability is so subjective. You ask 1,000 why they like someone you're likely to get 1,000 completely different answers. The reasons for liking are interesting not whether or not they're liked. Oh brother
Chef Jim Posted April 12, 2016 Posted April 12, 2016 Oh brother Here I'll prove my point. Let's all list whether or not we like gator. Those responses will be pretty boring. Then list why you don't like him. Now that part should be very interesting.
Tiberius Posted April 12, 2016 Posted April 12, 2016 Here I'll prove my point. Let's all list whether or not we like gator. Those responses will be pretty boring. Then list why you don't like him. Now that part should be very interesting. Yes, and I'd never win an election on this board, right? Do you see? Finally?
Chef Jim Posted April 12, 2016 Posted April 12, 2016 Yes, and I'd never win an election on this board, right? Do you see? Finally? What's your point? Explain please.
Tiberius Posted April 12, 2016 Posted April 12, 2016 What's your point? Explain please. Likability relates to electability Duh
Chef Jim Posted April 12, 2016 Posted April 12, 2016 Likability relates to electability Then why are Hillary and Trump leading if they have the lowest likability "ratings"?
Tiberius Posted April 12, 2016 Posted April 12, 2016 Then why are Hillary and Trump leading if they have the lowest likability "ratings"? Because its not the only factor and some people DO really like them I like Bernie more but, well, no, just no. And Trump is really liked by the right wing nuts that are howling for mass deportations and white nationalism.
Tiberius Posted April 15, 2016 Posted April 15, 2016 While Clinton maintains a 10-percentage point lead over Republican front-runner Donald Trump and a three-point edge over Sen. Ted Cruz (Texas) in head-to-head general elections, she doesn’t fare as well against John Kasich. Clinton trails the Ohio governor by six points. Sanders, on the other hand, would beat all GOP candidates, the poll shows. He has a 17-point lead over Trump, a 12-point lead over Cruz and a five-point lead over Kasich. Sanders hit on his recent poll numbers Thursday night in the Democratic debate, citing his victories in eight of the last nine contests. http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/276431-poll-sanders-does-better-than-clinton-in-general-election Maybe I'll vote for the old buzzard after all.

Deranged Rhino Posted April 15, 2016 Posted April 15, 2016 I don't do conspiracies you little minion POS. Don't you have someone butt to kiss? So much anger. You really are an angry, little man.

Chef Jim Posted April 15, 2016 Posted April 15, 2016 what a great ad! and typical of sanders, it's absolutely, undeniably true. A great ad? “Two hundred thousand dollars an hour for them. But not even fifteen bucks an hour for all Americans. Enough is enough.” Not even fifteen bucks an hour for all Americans? That is the most laughable thing I've heard in a very long time.
