Better Day 5,766 Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Bush won the primary in 2000 with over 60% of votes. He, however, did NOT win the public vote for president. The electoral college made him president. he was still the worst possible candidate. Anything is possible in politics Together You And I! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morphine Prince 109,984 Posted September 21, 2015 Author Share Posted September 21, 2015 wasn't that the Al gore thing?Yeah. Al Gore got about 500,000 more votes than Bush. But you need at least 270 electoral college votes to win. Bush got 271, Gore 266. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luc 4,776 Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 A Democrat WILL win. It's almost guaranteed. Have you seen the Republican candidates? You have to remember the majority of people on earth are dumb and ignorant just like the politicians they support (Republicans). I personally support Biden because I think the best would be to continue with what Obama was doing as Obama does a great job... Hillary seems a little too right-winged and valueless and Bernie is only there to make Hillary more left-winged in her campaign... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kayla 7,595 Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 I feel like Hilldawg is winning because of her history. People know her. She was good for the ticket years ago, not so much nowadays, imo. When I look at the goals and beliefs, I'm with Bernie all the way. It was hard for me to switch- like I was actually upset when I realized I didn't want to vote for Hilldawg anymore, but imo it's the right choice if you care about equality.

Voltaire 4,531 Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 I'm not sure that the title of the thread is accurate as an overall. Bernie has continued to see increased support every day. Hillary has continued to see declining support.A look at rally turn-out and donor growth, as well as individual state polls also illustrate this. Any place where Bernie's name recognition increases, so too do his numbers. Nationally, he still lags because nationally his name recognition still has tremendous potential.Two days later, Sanders draws five times as many people as Clinton to event at same university in N.H.Like Iowa and New Hampshire, Bernie Sanders Will Surpass Clinton in South Carolina.RCP Average: Clinton lead over Sanders has gone under 20% for the first time ever.Ultimately, Clinton still leads overall, but to indicate in the title that there is some sort of reverse of the trending wave of Clinton's decline and Bernie's rise is misleading.

You can only be compelled to vote for a person that represents the things that are important to you. For everyone's sake, I hope you're in the minority with that stance. Only time will tell. Cheers.

pie-kun 1,765 Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 I'm not sure that the title of the thread is accurate as an overall. Bernie has continued to see increased support every day. Hillary has continued to see declining support.Well, the first part of this is not true. Bernie in fact has seen his support drop 3 percentage points from this time last month. Using the RCP average you sourced, we can see that Bernie's numbers peaked at 26.3% last month and have since dropped to ~23%. As we can also see on that chart, the reason Clinton's numbers have dropped were because speculation that Biden might enter the race has increased and we have seen Biden's numbers increase over the past month, drawing support from both Clinton and Sanders (mostly Clinton though). The reason the gap between Clinton and Sanders has narrowed is not because Sanders is rising, but rather that Biden is pulling support from Clinton.However, all indications are that Biden will not run and his actions have said as much. In the most recent poll, if Biden were not included then Clinton's lead against Sanders turns from +18% to +29%. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
