And yet too many of Bernie's supporters couldn't make the same calculation. Curious. :-(

They are not politicians
Average people throw hissy fits. The saying "cut off nose to spite his face" apply to most people, not just the exceptionionally stupid. A very small subset of the population are truly logical. Nothing curious about it. |

No, they are morons - just like Trump voters.

Voting for HRC in Indiana in 2016 is the essence of throwing one's vote away.

Nonsense. The Democratic Candidate losing Indiana in the general was a fait accompli.
Exactly as I predicted. Although if the youth can still manage to trust our political system enough to participate after the betrayal of Obama, then Indiana could go for the Democratic candidate again as it did in 2008. But that would be if and only if Bernie is the candidate. ... Clinton has about as much chance of carrying Indiana as she does of getting my vote in the primary. http://forum.iwethey.org/forum/post/406870/ bcnu, Mikem I think religion should be treated with ridicule, hatred and contempt. And I claim that right. Christopher Hitchens. |

Meh.
Yes, the polling said she wasn't going to win IN and she didn't. Congratulations. That doesn't mean that people shouldn't have voted for her. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_presidential_election_in_Indiana,_2008#Polling Pre-election polling was always tight, although McCain generally had a slight lead in 3 poll averages throughout the entire general election, including the final weeks of the election. "McCain's ahead, so I guess it's hopeless" is self-fulfilling. Cheers, Scott. |
|
|
Nice Try.
I wasn't going by polls. Anyone who had been at least half conscious for the past 30 years would have recognized that she did not have a chance in Indiana without having to bother looking at a poll. bcnu, Mikem I think religion should be treated with ridicule, hatred and contempt. And I claim that right. Christopher Hitchens. |
|
|
Heh.
I guess we would all be better off if we ignored evidence and just relied on your gut, eh? (sigh) Cheers, Scott. |

It's called observation.
