Just saw this on Steve Kornacki's show.

Washington Post poll
Democratic party in touch with peoples concerns.
in touch 28 percent
out of touch 67 percent

Something to think about as you continue debating Bernie v. Hillary
Trump out polls the Democratic party in this question.
Trump 38 percent in touch

In March 2014, 48 percent of Americans said the Democratic Party was out of touch with the concerns of most people. Today 67 percent say so. And the biggest change has occurred chiefly among the party's own typical loyalists, with "out of touch" ratings up 33 points among liberals, 30 points among Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents and 26 points among moderates and nonwhites alike.

Heavy regulation of big business and Wall Street, universal healthcare, protecting the environment, strong, vocal support of unions, head start for poor kids, doing everything possible to avoid war, etc.

Radical socialism, I tell you!

That's totally against the rules. The primary is over.



Or, are you suggesting the loyal Democrats just keep quiet whenever people (plural) smear and insult the Democratic Party and snub our brightest and most promising new Democratic candidates? Should women be quiet and say nothing when so-called Democrats (plural) indicate that women's rights are negotiable?

If anyone needs "something to think about" it's the ones (plural) who smear the Democratic Party.

I may not be the smartest person here, but I'm not as dumb as you appear to think I am either.

this from washpost -

Trump faces 2-to-1 disapproval (62 to 29 percent) among people who voted for third-party candidates or didn’t cast ballots. Oh my, so let's stop the debating Bernie vs Hillary..shall we....

Still trying to find DEM figure...but looking at ALL the information - and there are plenty of numbers at link - and the POS in the WH is failing among Clinton supporters and voters..
