What I hope this primary teaches people is the important of actually getting out and voting. If Sanders supporters actually went out and voted for Hillary in the general (or if Hillary's supporters cast ballots for Bernie), there would undoubtedly be a Democrat in the White House.

His influence is undeniable. He's even pushed Hillary to embrace the title "progressive;" the youngest voters overwhelmingly support him, in stark contrast to all older Democratic groups. He's a significant force and even without the nomination - because now that Hillary's back ahead in both Iowa and NH, it's clear he won't get it - he's accomplished what I believe he truly set out to do, and that's opening people's eyes to much more liberal ideas and how they could benefit us if only we could find away to make them work.

If Hillary gets the nomination and Bernie's supporters vote for her in the general (however begrudgingly), it could contribute to a decent popular vote victory for her and a solid electoral victory.

There's no way Bernie is winning, but this has pushed Hilary more to the left so that's a silver lining.

Definitely a positive thing either way.

His gun control and foreign policy stances are what's going to hurt him the most, I feel.

Multiple Republicans saying that there never was anything to look into and Bernie telling everyone to just stop it. It's kinda funny how all of Hillary's opponents have essentially ended any chance of that blowing up.

Benghazi and the email server are two different investigations. Republicans have no control over whether or not the FBI chooses to indict her.

Hilary will switch right back to the middle for the general election. She already left the door open to switch back to her earlier position on TPP. So, don't get your hopes up.

The fact that money in politics and the impossible costs of tuition are even discussed on a debate state is why I support Sanders. The big picture (and his accountability) matter the most. Nothing meaningful will happen in politics without getting money out of it.

The likelihood of an indictment has been trending downward anyway. It won't happen.

Based on what? They already discovered multiple classified emails on her server and people have been indicted for less.

Biden's done. Hillary's just raking in his former supporters with the good job she did in the debate.
Most Bernie supporters I feel don't like Hillary. I can't see the younger/liberals bothering to vote in the general if/when she wins the nomination unless he were vp which is v unlikely. But she can win without them I think.
One of the more encouraging poll results for Bernie, he's still gained a few % points http://www.scribd.com/doc/285352517/...ey-methodology

we all know exactly who the Bernie supporters are. They're the same people who were pro-Obama in 2008 because they hated Hillary mixed in with some of the rabid college students who were pro Ron Paul in 2008/2012 who don't like Rand Paul.

What's always baffled me is that we talk a lot about the Republicans who hate Hillary, but there has always been a huge chunk of democrats that hate her too for some reason, and that was what propelled Obama in 2007-2008, and has been propelling Bernie, too. The only difference with Bernie is that he won't likely pick up the black support to defeat Hillary, which Obama easily and for obvious reasons did.

Based on the fact that we know some of that classified material was not classified at the time that she received it and some was moved outside the federal sphere before it came back to her. In both cases, she is not at all responsible. Furthermore these laws aren't as cut-and-dry as some claim. Even more notable is the fact that an indictment in this case of grey areas and if-then statements would be a monumental waste of money and resources, would not likely lead to a conviction on any felony charge, and would drag on for potentially years.

dddd someone messaged me on Twitter saying that Hillary's poll numbers rose because "nobody watched the debate" and people just heard she won and decided to support her.

Please tell me you clocked them with the fact that it had over 15m initial viewers and more than any other Dem debate in history?

WOOP! There it is

Only 3.6% of the correspondents were ages 18-24, probably Bernie's main demographic

Furthermore, I want to note that a significant portion of this email scandal arose directly from the Benghazi issue.

I also want to note that several articles published today claim she could go to prison for ten years if Obama was unaware of her actions and that he's denied knowledge; I believe that to be complete crap, to be honest, because I really expect that Obama and his Secretary of State would have some measure of email correspondence over the course of her tenure.

I just want all the cards out on the table, because a lot of the possibility for indictment claimed in the media is inflated, overblown, or improperly ascribed to her when in reality some of it should be directed toward other officials and aides.

For her to be indicted, she'll essentially need to have been in clear, direct personal violation of enforceable federal law, and to be frank we just do not know that she has been.

[Skywalker]

I mean, I argued with a friend of mine on Facebook that is so staunchly on Bernie's team that she was posting those articles about how everything was a conspiracy, and I commented saying Bernie did a good job but Hillary is a fantastic debater and I agreed with the publications. I was told to remove the wool over my eyes and acknowledge that she was the fourth best there that night.

18-34 made up 20% though, and that's the key.
This is a fairly scientific poll conducted by reliable sources.

[Giselle]

Sources are saying its moved past "if" for Biden and is now a matter of "when". Some have even said an announcement could come in three days.

[Retro]

If he runs, he's legitimately crazy. It's OCTOBER.

He's only going to hurt both Bernie and Hillary, and then lose the nomination.
