New polls put Bernie way ahead in NH, and if this carries over into the primary election, then he will be roughly tied for delegates with Shillary.

It's a normal behavior nowadays. As long as the system is stable for the intended purposes I wouldn't worry.

Wrong forum, btw.

I'm glad Bernie is doing better than expected.
He will lose to Trump in the end, but go-Bernie while it lasts.
It worries me his major support comes from college kids.
They never turn out to vote. Loud support, packed stadiums, extremely poor turnout.
Just ask John Kerry and Michael Moore.
Packed stadiums = party time!!!, but terrible turnout in the end.

It's not only that republicans will tear Bernie apart using the SOCIALIST label against him, but as president Bernie could never get anything done.
Four years of whining and bitching about that evil wall street and the establishment isn't going to get us nor Bernie anywhere in the end.
I GUARANTEE you, if Bernie beats Hillary then runs against Trump or even Bush or Cruz, Bernie will get slaughtered.

As I see it now, looking at the division within both parties, we could have four candidates on the ballot in November. Bernie vs Hillary and Trump vs Cruz or Bush.
Hillary supporters will never support Bernie, and Trump supporters will never support Bush or Cruz.
So we'll have four on the ballot for president come November.
Hillary democrats, & Bernie third party vs Trump republicans, & Cruz or Bush third party.
Would that be so nuts? Well, we're already living in the land of nuts.
So what is so shocking about a four candidate presidential ballot come November?

That last part could be switched around. Bush republican, Trump third party.
But I'd suspect republicans have already realized the awful truth, that Trump will be their guy.
And we'll see whether outraged republicans stay home, vote Hillary or Bernie, or bite the bullet and vote trump.
Republicans so badly want to beat Hillary, but at what price?
Are they willing to vote Trump to beat Hillary?
And should they do that, want comes next?
How intolerable will their buyers remorse become after all the balloons are swept away?
Will this be one of those instances with that old saying applies, "be careful what you wish for".
You beat Hillary. But now... YOU have Donald trump.

That's why Bernie has beaten trump is every poll for like 6 months, lol. The last one showed Bernie winning by 13 points.

Bernie Sanders would easily win the general, if he can get there.

This is why people should have worked harder to draft Elizabeth Warren. she's very close to Bernie Sanders on economic views and at the same time would also satisfy the desire by a lot of Clinton supporters to see the first woman elected to Commander in Chief.

I realize that if she had decided to run for President Sen. Warren would have been attacked by Sen. / Sec. of State Clinton's campaign as well. Among other things.

But perhaps that would've been better than what is going on now.

Clinton probably used her vagina powers to convince warren to let her win. Either that, or she heard Bernie was going to enter, and stepper out for him.

I hope Bernie does beat the Hilldabeast. He doesn't stand a chance in the primary regardless of who is in the republican seat.

Remember what everyone said about Romney beating Obama in a landslide.. Remember what everyone said about $8 a gallon gas under Obama and 12% unemployment.. Remember what they said after the election.. the country has changed due to....

demographics.

With that in play and GOP repeatedly burning ties with minorities and SJW's.. remember that on nov 9th, 2016 when you reflect.

Depends on if Millennials get out and vote.

But also Palin just took Trumps unelectability (I'm making up a word for it) and just compounded it even worse than she did for McCain.

I'd say it depends if he has her campaign for him.

Why do you say that? I'm no fan of Palin but her endorsement wouldn't make me reconsider voting for a candidate if I had been considering it before. An endorsement is just an opinion, it's not like she's going to be his running mate. If Palin's announcement was what finally helped you make your choice about Trump, you must not have formed a very strong rationale for your decision before she endorsed him.

He may consider her for a cabinet position, that's reason enough right there.

I think that is it. An endorsement doesn't mean much. What he does with it is something else.

From the 1 minute clip I saw on the news, it was apparent (like, '08 Bummer wooing the Left and them eating it up apparent) that Trump was acting happy for Palin support. He's getting votes/support whenever he can to secure his position as Rep frontrunner. No way in hell he'd have Palin for a cabinet position if he got elected (which he won't, Billary will be next POTUS, unless the Left actually turn into non-hypocrites ((highly doubtful)) and nominate Bernie).

Who people keep company with projects a judge of character

Trump and Palin
Clintons and Jeffrey Epstein

Not to mention all their other slimebag friends.

Wow, Bernie at 60% Billary at 33%
Need a source.

According to CNN's lastest, it is Bernie is at 50% of NH Dems and the Hilderbeast is at 40%. There are other numbers for those NH Dems, who have definitely decided (at only 52% of NH Dems), which is Bernie 64% and the Hilderbeast 35%

http://www.cnn.com/2016/01/19/politics/new-hampshire-cnn-wmur-poll-democrats/index.html.

All kinds of numbers, which out of context, are confusing or misleading. That's why we need citations.

No mention of O'Malley. Maybe if he spends the rest of the time just introducing himself, like he did at the start of the last debate, he might get noticed on the board. Then maybe Martha Raddatz will give him permission to speak.

Bernie is the lefty equivalent of Ron Paul. Small group of vocal followers who are active on the internet, but in the grand scheme not going to win anything. Just like Paul, Bernie has some decent ideas, but they are overwhelmed by the overall crazy factor.
