Idg why you'd get something like a pillow of your candidate. Shirts I understand, stickers, buttons, etc. But why do you want a Hillary Clinton wine glass?

Wow...so the Sanders campaign is actually coordinating a Convention fight no matter the outcome if I heard correctly from Jeff Weaver on CNN. This is messy.

I swear to god, if he did I would be LIVID. I wouldn't be having any of the Bernie Bros ****.

He and Tad Devine are both huge losers. Had he had actual good campaign organizers, he could have been winning this thing. Instead, they've alienated so many Democrats out of him and all of his fundraising and drive had to come from the enthusiasm of his young base (which, granted, is actually really cool and the way the Redditor's got together to create donation drives was awesome). It's a high number but his campaign donor money could have been even higher if they could have found more ways to target different demographics as well.

spot on

Emerson has a C+ rating, how are they usually accurate?

Because it's not only about a C+ rating. It's also about the average error rating (among other things) and it's superbly low for a pollster that doesn't do polls every week. For most of the primaries they polled this cycle they've been accurate about the winner and pretty darn close with the amount

C+ is actually very good, better than average

For example (just of one many)

Their April 4th Wisconsin democratic poll for the April 6th Primary. They predicted Clinton 43%, Sanders 51%

Actual results were Clinton at 43.1% and Sanders at 56.6%. They're very good

AP-GfK Poll: 55 percent of Americans have unfavorable impression of Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton / 69 percent unfavorable for Donald Trump

Are these typical numbers?

What did Obama and McCain have in 2008?

I feel like voter turnout will be insanely low this year.

Actually I think it'll be insanely higher, reminiscent to 2008 or more. Only because republicans hate her so much and democrats hate him so much they'll come out in DROVES to stop the other

Or you could be right it could be insanely low because neither is well liked at the moment so it could create a sense of apathy.

If Trump goes minorities will band together, if he doesn't go his fans will stay home and GOP is over.

In a way, turnout all depends on him mostly.

I don't believe the vast majority of Trump supporters will stay home.

To me, a convention pick instead of him would be a big slap in the face.

I see a ton of people who still proudly wear their McCain Palin bumper stickers.

Maybe they can't get it off their car?

Establishment Republicans seem to hate Trump as much as they hate Hills, though (and vice versa for the Bernie camp). Granted, judging by the previous primaries, establishment Republicans are apparently I'm the minority of Republican voters, but the fervor from even Trump's base seems to be waning a bit at the moment. Not sure whether that's temporary but for the first time his momentum seems to be fading.

This is all assuming Trump is the nominee, though. A Paul Ryan nomination would be...very interesting to see happen.

Those are the highest unfavorable numbers ever, on both sides
