| #10 Bernie is not a good debater. None of the Democrats are to be honest, this batch is really sad. That is what I expect though in an re-election year when the better people stay home and the whacko's and the old 'it's my turn' candidates show up. |

| #9 Lots of registered voters never vote. Polls of likely voters are more realistic. And yes, at this point the published polls don’t tell us much that’s useful. |

| #8 I haven't watched any of the Democratic debates. But I might watch some of the convention. After all the best part of watching a train wreck is not watching the train travel down the track but watching the actual wreck... |

| #7 complacency is a killer True dat. This is a GOTV effort for Donks for Tuesday - CNN's only viewership |

| #6 Trump will bring down an avalanche of negative advertising on the Dem nominee - AFTER the convention. And they'll do the same to him, along with the multiplier effect of media bias. #4 Bobby, it's California. 'Nuff said. Things are tight in Texas, too. OK, it's a CNN poll. Even so, complacency is a killer. The Texas poll is doubtless rigged, but what does it tell us that CNN feels OK with running such a rigged poll? That things are closer than they should be? Or that they've worked out the kinks from 2016 in properly stealing the next election; and now they're laying the groundwork for making it look "natural" by showing that the Dems are "surprisingly close" in Texas? |

| #3 At this point in the year Dukakis was leading GHW Bush, Romney was ahead of Zero, Kerry was even with W... February polls for a November election are absolutely worthless. |

| #2 ^ That poll is meaningless. The campaign has not even begun. Trump will bring down an avalanche of negative advertising on the Dem nominee - AFTER the convention. That will boost his numbers and depress the Dem nominee's numbers by at least 5 points, in both cases, i.e. provide a ca. 10-point swing. |

| #1 Just in case you think Trump is a shoo-in, here's CNN: Looking ahead to November, each of the six potential Democratic nominees tested in California easily tops Trump in a hypothetical matchup among registered voters. And all six run about even with Trump in Texas, a state Democrats have long hoped would flip to their column in the electoral college. The president's approval rating stands at 33% in California, according to the poll, and 43% in Texas. |
