US Presidential Election 2016: Sidney's Victory Lap

You’re the man who said Sanders wasn’t electable on a national scale despite the polls continually showing him trouncing Trump.

Laugh. Out. Loud.

the very fuck graph you posted yourself shows him hovering between 39.5% and 41% for most of July, then he jumps 3.5% RIGHT FUCKING AFTER the RNC.
Are you fucking thick?
That’s a classic Convention Bounce, and it means fuck all. Just like the bounce Hillary will get in polls published next week will be equally fucking meaningless.

Sweet mother of fuck.

As I pointed out Sidney, those polls cannot be taken seriously. It was at the point where there was a three way race - with two candidates (Trump and Clinton) being the most disliked by Independents in the history of elections. If Sanders had become nominee, his positions would have been under relentless attack. The Republican Establishment who have left the stage for this campaign, would be on board to attack Sanders from left and right.

Someone with Bernie Sanders positions is not electable as President in the USA yet.

And as I pointed out to you (which you ignored), a similar phenomenon was on display with Kasich. Wait until a big boys campaign with Kasich vs Clinton and see the numbers.

The graph shows him moving upwards from the point that the FBI annoucements were made, and hers downwards. It is bigger than any “convention bounce”. I didn’t deny he got one (I said the Republican core vote was shored up), but I pointed out it was part of a larger trend which you are desperate to ignore. 68% now do not trust her, that has gone up.

And as I pointed out to you (which you again ignored), this convention is not a “normal” DNC. How many has email leaks on the eve showing preferential treatment for one candidate? How many have the DNC Chairperson being forced to resign on the eve of it? Has protests from another party canidates zealots outside and has some of his delegates booing the Presidential nominee on the floor?

No, the poll shows him being more or less fucking flat for the bones of 3 weeks. Hovering between the 40th and 41st percentile is statistically insignificant. He then takes a more noticeable leap, RIGHT AFTER the fucking convention.
Blah fucking blah Clinton thisthatandtheother.
Get back to me next week after Hillary jumps back in front in the polls and tell how bad the DNCon was for her.

Jesus, but you have some horn for Trump, you are wishing him to win so bad.
You and your mate @anon7035031 are going to look like right tools come the first Tuesday evening in Nov after HilClin wins in a canter.
So when is Hills going to jail? Weren’t you telling us a couple of months ago that she’s he locked up by now?

Now you’re saying I have a firm position.

And saying Clinton will win, after months of saying Trump will win.

Confused Tim strikes again.

In the space of a month, a 7 point gap has been overturned. Them’s the facts pal. You call this “desperate” for him to win and think it’s just some wishful thinking, but it’s actually a FACT.

I said she should go to jail for wrongdoing, which she should (and Bernie Bros agree with us here, TFK “socialists” take note- http://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2016/07/24/bernie-sanders-supporters-chant-lock-her-up-in-philadelphia-protest-against-clinton/)

I’ve always said this would be an extremelly tight race and made no gurarantee of victory. What I said was the email scandal would destroy her credibility (and she should go to jail) and that once the debates begin all bets are off. Labane has said that the economy is the important thing and it’s hard to disagree.

No mate, I said “at best”. Learn to read.

Can you pleas give everyone your response regarding the Democratic Party Establishment undermining Bernie Sanders? You have no problem making claims about the British Labour Party “establishment” (Blairites), but are running here. Real Sanders fans are livid. Is it because the sources you follow on Twitter (Salon, Slate- I’m guessing) and get all your opinions from are still backing Clinton?

Clinton just paid for an ad which was moaning about illegals getting deported. This is the ad;

I wonder if she is aware that Hillary has championed putting up a wall like barrier?

Obama knew the score with her

No mate, you said she WOULD go to jail. You stated on these forums that she would be in jail by now.
If you entertained the idea, even for the tiniest second, that she would end up in jail, then you haven’t a bull’s fucking notion about American politics. Not even the most partisan Republicans I know thought there was a snowball’s chance in hell that she would go to jail, even if they genuinely felt she should have.

You are wishing a little too hard. Come back to earth.

I said she would go to jail as I believed in the justice system. Unfortunately Obama (and Democratic Mayors across America who have destroyed cities they govern), has destroyed the justice system I held dear. That’s why we need a change of President and one who will make the changes we need.

There’s no “wishing” mate. The polls are the polls, a 7 point lead has been pulled back.

Jesus, but you’re a gas cunt all the same.
Some back track there.

Btw, the loser of the last four presidential elections has pulled back a 7 point or greater lead at some point in the summer/fall, and still lost the election.
Good luck with a 7 point pull back right after the convention.

Oh God, this is brutal from Paul Simon

Awkward moment there with Sarah Silverman riling up the Bernie Bros again

Anyone who thinks Hillary will win at a canter is totally delusional at this point. It’s going to come down to a few swing states and the turnout in those states. Having two other candidates really complicates matters this time, as a lot of Democrat and Republican voters will vote for an alternative to Trump and Clinton. Ross Perot got 19% of the vote in 1992 and effectively handed the White House to Bill Clinton, I’m not saying Gary Johnson or Jill Stein will do as well, but there are a lot of votes up for grabs, especially among young people, given how unpopular Hillary and Trump are.

The presence of Johnson/Weld (both former Republican Governors and both actually genuinely reasonable candidates, not like the loon jobs the LP usually puts forward) makes it easier for Clinton as it will siphon some Rep votes from Trump.
Stein is so far under the radar, she will get the odd Bernie supporter, but have much less of an siphon impact on Clinton.

The bottom line is there are more Dems that will hold their nose and vote Clinton than Reps that will do the same for Trump.

Gas.

Fucking.

Cunts.

The lot of ye.

Is this your first time following an American presidential race??? The President and those in the race are always pre-picked, mate. America is the most undemocratic nation on the planet.
