Say what you will but Sanders polls better than Clinton against most of the Republican candidates.[/quote]

Of course he does. Setting aside the fact that head to head polls are meaningless before the primaries, think about it. No one has spent a penny running attack ads against him yet. The media has barely started vetting him. You don't think that will change if he's the nominee?

Sanders was just like Trump last night, bragging about his poll numbers. It was hilarious. But seriously, tell us why the RNC was emailing on his behalf if they're dying to run against HRC. Tell us why Democrats should vote for a candidate who's supported by the RNC's head of strategy and comms. [/quote]

I love how polls are meaningless when Sanders is doing well against Republicans but meaningful when Clinton is doing well against them. You realize that Sanders brought up the polls in the context of comments by the Clinton campaign about how she was more "electable".

I agree on one point: polls are pretty much meaningless at this point in the context of the general. But having passionate supporters who are really committed to a candidate makes a lot of difference as we saw with Obama in 2008.

With regard to why Republicans were tweeting for Sanders, it is just as meaningless  if they had been doing so for Clinton. In fact, if they were tweeting for Clinton, I would wager that you would be telling me how it means nothing - and you would be right.

What the election will hinge on is whether a candidate can attract the base - and whether independents and moderates will vote for a particular candidate.[/quote]
