more welcoming...It reminds me of how the Confluence started for "Democrats in Exile"...

Sorry we have rules here about who we include in our internet polls... Agschmid Aug 2015 #4

‘Deez Nuts’ endorses Bernie Sanders for Democratic bid PowerToThePeople Aug 2015 #5

And John Kasich on the Republican side... Agschmid Aug 2015 #6

sounds like he is looking for an easy Dem win. PowerToThePeople Aug 2015 #7

I think in the GE Kasich would be a tough opponent. Agschmid Aug 2015 #8

I have not followed the clown car PowerToThePeople Aug 2015 #9

I think the opposite is true. He won't get much Repubican support. So he'll be depending sabrina 1 Aug 2015 #28

Republicans would definitely vote for Kasich. Garrett78 Aug 2015 #69

Where is Kasich in the Repub polls right now? sabrina 1 Aug 2015 #85

How many Deez Nuts do you want? n/t Aerows Aug 2015 #27

Deez endorsed Bernie and Kasich. merrily Aug 2015 #59

Well if anything's going to sway me, it's gonna be the endorsement of the summer's top 15 yo troll. Warren DeMontague Aug 2015 #61

You were the one who asked for more Deez. I merely complied. merrily Aug 2015 #62

I honestly havent really thought about it, myself. Warren DeMontague Aug 2015 #63

Four to eight years of Trump is what this country really needs right now. merrily Aug 2015 #64

Well, that's the danger in that plan. Warren DeMontague Aug 2015 #65

Highly doubtful. merrily Aug 2015 #66

Oh, like I said, I think the odds are he'd alienate a massive # people & tarnish the GOP brand Warren DeMontague Aug 2015 #67

I'm not clear. Are you saying that his being the Republican nominee would cause Americans to turn merrily Aug 2015 #68

The first. I don't think he'd win, either. Warren DeMontague Aug 2015 #89

Wow. I wasn't aware the Bernie fans outnumbered the Hillary fans by such a wide margin. Old Crow Aug 2015 #21

Poll from April surprised me--and Bernie had not even announced informally then. merrily Aug 2015 #60

That is surprising. Old Crow Aug 2015 #81

Kicking so all the other candidate's supporters can add their vote. I don't know why they're so shy? Ed Suspicious Aug 2015 #32

It wouldn't take my vote, that's why. juajen Aug 2015 #139

Maybe it really is "Sanders Underground." Ed Suspicious Aug 2015 #33

DUers are unusually well informed. That's why Sanders polls so well. JDPriestly Aug 2015 #106

One thing this poll settles is who is capable of bullying who in terms of alerts and juries. stevenleser Aug 2015 #88

And all the 4-3 hides of posts by murielm99 Aug 2015 #91

Yep. Considering that according to this poll, each jury has 6 Bernie supporters and 1 Hillary stevenleser Aug 2015 #92

Boo Hoo whatchamacallit Aug 2015 #95

^^^this. artislife Aug 2015 #132

Yes, look at this completely bully-free jury I was on. jeff47 Aug 2015 #117

Right because one juror voting some way out of 7 constitutes bullying. stevenleser Aug 2015 #128

It's an actual data point instead of conjecture. jeff47 Aug 2015 #131

Hopefully you alerted on those results? Agschmid Aug 2015 #149

Yep, and posted in AtA. jeff47 Aug 2015 #153

Good. Agschmid Aug 2015 #154

It's not a data point. And a poll is not conjecture THAT is a data point. You are confused. nt stevenleser Aug 2015 #165

No sorry but it IS conjecture kenfrequed Aug 2015 #169

I support Bernie but when I get on a jury I try to be objective. totodeinhere Aug 2015 #121
