    Since the question of whether or not Sanders would win a general election against Trump specifically came up earlier in this thread (at least I think it was this thread), I thought this article was interesting:

    Poll: Bernie has bigger lead over Trump than Hillary

    Not sure about that poll but one recent widely publicized poll that showed Hillary actually gaining support was flawed because it overly sampled folks over 65 who really support Hillary.

    Lots of politics and wiggle room to these polls.

    Of course the older crowd tend to vote more too and it is those who actually elect.

    Bern's rise could be good for Hillary's winter momentum. I can't imagine he's raising the troops needed to organize caucus-goers in Iowa. If he's ahead in polls leading up to it, then Hillary buries him voting night, she'll breeze through to the nomination.

    However, I think she will perform well at the debate in the next few weeks and change the cuurent trajectory.

    This is worrisome. VERY worrisome for Hilary Inc. During the early and middle parts of 2007, Obama's fundraising is why I didn't completely write him off.

    I still don't think Sanders has a real chance at the nomination. If Hillary implodes, the Dems will choose someone else.

    Mike Huckabee is trying to save us from the illegal alien atheist gays trying to inject marijuanas into our children so they won't fight in wars in the Middle East to make America safe to be better just like it used to be.

    And be more like Arkansas, where I was arrested for jogging.

    The irony of this post juxtaposed with your signature is difficult to ignore.

    WTF

    I swear there was a time when Huckabee wasn't a crackpot.

    So is Mike Huckabee's tweet about Koreans eating dogs considering this.

    Since it's obvious he doesn't write his own tweets, why did he hire idiots who would make these type of comments?

    Huckabee looks like he ate a North Korean chef. Maybe a nice work camp would do you good Huck.

    Despicable. Some humans are worse than animals, if the story on how the dog died is accurate.
