    no comments after last night's debate?

    Well, after fewer than half as many debates, they have spent more than twice as much time actually debating issues.
    The GOP is a disgrace right now.

    there is far less interest in the Dem debates. kind of a waste of time. BUT, i watched because i am an informed voter.

    Less interest in Dem debates because the entertainment factor is so low?

    So no entertainment factor at all

    Yeah, probably. Apathy, disinterest, a population more interested in shopping city dreams and video games than current events. It happens too much on all sides.

    I'm not sure I've ever decided who to vote for based on a debate. This cycle was no different. The Democrats both come off as adults and are for the most part polite and civil. We can argue whether or not that makes for good TV. But with the Republicans there can be no such argument...each of these debates has been a more glorious train wreck than the one before. High comedy.

    Michiganders, I would be proud of you if you chose to use your right to vote tomorrow. If you are in doubt or "don't care", you could go and vote for me, since I am not allowed to. March 8 is International women's day, I would regard that as a present :smiley:

    If you can get past the messenger and the publication read this piece does a great job explaining the fallacy of democracy as total horseshit. Take the power of masses and place it in the hands of chosen few...just like the electoral college for president and board of directors for corporations.

    Crazy


    According to the progressive media watchdog Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting, The Washington Post has reached what the group says “has to be some kind of record” by posting an onslaught of 16 articles attacking the Vermont senator—all in less than a single day.

    Nice. I love that the public is finally waking up about biased newspapers.

    ‎@GovHowardDean
    @BernieSanders Super delegates don't "represent people" I'm not elected by anyone. I'll do what I think is right for the country

    Howard Dean has lost a lot of favor ability since saying that (if anyone ever considered him favorable)...

    Has Detroit reported yet? Any way to tell which precincts make up the reporting?

    I find this to be pretty up to date coverage. Apparently nothing in Detroit reporting yet.

    Good stuff there. Might get ugly when Hillary starts closing that lead with the black vote.
  • dignindignin Posts: 9,336
    Not looking good, Hillary is closing fast. Less than 2% ahead now.

    No Democrat can argue "inevitability" in a year when they lose Michigan.

    I know I seen most polls earlier show Hillary with 20+ point leads. Have polls ever been so wrong? Either something fishy going on or polls are useless.

    Polls. Really mean. Nothing!! Ha ha!
  • JC29856JC29856 Posts: 9,617
    Big polls
  • JC29856JC29856 Posts: 9,617
    The absolute best thing that could happen is Bernie win out by whatever margin and Hillary still be the nominee.
  • bootlegger10bootlegger10 Posts: 15,944
    I'm surprised more Democrats are not enraged by the nominee selection process and the super delegates.
  • brianluxbrianlux Posts: 42,038
    No time for negative thinking. Bernie's on a roll. They said it's over? It ain't over!

    Exactly! Get pissed whenever he wins more pledged delegates but the super delegates won't flip. Right now that sort of anger will only discourage people from hitting the booths.
