I think if you factor in how much has been spent he has more in the bank? But I'm phoneposting based on half remembered numbers so if I'm wrong that's ok.

Since we don't have actual figures for this quarter yet, you don't actually know that. You also just made a wantonly false claim about the DNC changing their rules to allow her to do something. (They changed their own rules to allow them to raise more money for their general election coffers.)

Bernie has been spending a ton of loving money; Hillary spent a lot earlier on because they had planned a national campaign, which in fairness to Bernie he really had no reason to believe in September that he needed that level of organization.

HRC had 33 million cash on hand on January 31st, Bernie had 15 million. They've been burning through money at a comparable pace.

Bernie's campaign fundraising method isn't sustainable in the long run because it's run entirely on the morale of donors.

The DNC rolled back some Obama rule for their own fundraising because they believed it was holding them back.

I don't think Bernie's campaign is going to end because it ran out of money. I assume it will end because of delegate math.

General election polls, during a primary are not and have never been, terribly predictive of anything. Particularly when you have someone like, Bernie, who has not really ever came under the full glare of the RNC attack machine.
Imo it's dumb to not vote for the candidate you prefer in the primary as some sort of "strategic" vote when that strategy is just unsupported gut feeling. I mean, yeah she's been under the microscope for years but partly because of that she has a higher unfavorability rating than anyone ever to be elected president - a full 50%. She's performing worse in the polls and she's under federal investigation and more emails including private emails are probably be going to be coming out during the election. People that think establishment = electable, in this of all election cycles, and especially when she'll be vulnerable to all sorts of populist attacks by Trump that Bernie is not (on free trade agreements, war record, and Wall Street funding) may very likely be mistaken! So they could be making the wrong strategic choice in addition to voting against the person they actually like more. Smdh.

Hey Ben, what're you up to.

Ben Carson calls for meeting of all five GOP campaigns

quote:

Ben Carson is calling on the five Republican presidential candidates to all gather and bury their hatchets before Thursday night's debate in Detroit.

In a statement, Carson, a long-shot in a race dominated by Donald Trump, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, said that "this race has taken a turn for the worse, to the point of embarrassment on the world stage."

The race has taken a turn for the worst Ben? Just now?

Did he actually just wake up?

Um, those aren't gut instincts, those are facts... Trump already has campaigned on not taking money, on being against free trade agreements, and on opposing the Iraq war. A judge already opened up the email investigation to discovery the other day and her aides can be called in to testify. Besides, I'm not coming out and stating that Bernie is more "electable," just that presuming Hillary is to the point of not voting for him despite preferring him might be voting against your own interests x2. If someone is gonna strategically bet against their own guy I think they should have a lot more to support it.

Ben always looks dazed or high out of his mind, so I'm guessing he had a moment of clarity. Then again, he thinks he has the clout to call the actual candidates to a meeting so he can't be that lucid.


Edit: I'd love to be a fly on the wall in that kind of meeting though. Trump just coming in,giving Rubio a wedgie and walking out would be worth seeing.

I am a Hillary supporter who actually buys into her theory of change, so I am an outlier here. But generally speaking -- Trump isn't a serious candidate. He's just a blowhard who makes poo poo up on the fly and who had gone entirely unchallenged by the Republican party. He may very well talk about those things, but most people who are pursuable voters aren't going to buy any of that poo poo.

This does not make sense when, again, aggregate indicia also indicate improvements. The belief that things are worse is false. It remains false.

a lot of times before the polls close they roll out these exit polls that don't include "who'd ya vote for" but instead include a bunch of demographics or policy responses so people can read tea leaves starting a little earlier.
