Lots of issues with the latest Monmouth poll... amongst others. I think Bernie’s primary performance will stun the pollsters and the pundits.

I like Bernie.

From the numbers I’ve seen, the vast majority of the minority population that has heard of Bernie do support him. The problem is that a minority of the minority population has actually heard of him. It’s not a problem of people shooting themselves in the foot, it’s a Sanders Campaign messaging problem.

From the numbers I’ve seen, a good 70% of the minority population that has actually heard of Bernie support him. Unfortunately, it’s only like 30% of the minority population that say they’ve heard of him. It looks to me like he needs to change his messaging at least a bit.

It’s not terribly patronizing at all. It’s absolutely no different than pointing out that some poor and middle-class white folks vote against their own interests by voting Republican.

I love this bullshit about how minorities have special needs that nobody could possibly understand unless they’re a minority.

The biggest challenge facing minorties is the same challenge facing a huge portion of white people: they’re all fucking poor, and therefore can’t afford to pay for things like education,

As a New Hampshire dweller who loves Bernie Sanders and cannot wait to vote for him, this headline makes my morning even happier. I don’t participate in phone polls (in general, I don’t talk politics with strangers - er, unless it’s on Jezebel, I guess!), nor do most people I know, who are also Bernie supporters. So

The ice caps are melting, we’re approaching WWIII, income inequality is at epic levels, and the major issue for many ‘liberal’ voters is what reproductive organs their party’s nominee has, never mind the long-running allegations of corruption and rampant conflicts of interest.

“Polls don’t matter unless they say Hillary is ahead. Then, of course, they matter a lot.”
