I don't disagree but would a GOP congressperson? Be real.

But Bloomberg doesnt stand a chance. Most Bloomberg people will go to Sanders in a general election. Its one thing to say that you'll vote for Bloomberg, but really he's just a spoiler and he wont get 12 or 14% of the votes.

I think Gravis tends to be an outlier but for whatever it's worth, they have Hillary up 53 to 47 in Nevada.

Nevada Polling Results - One America News Network

That puts her current RCP average at +2.4

Honestly, I'm not putting a lot of stock in it. I think polling in caucus states is questionable at best. But I'd still rather see my candidate ahead, of course.

Good grief, you're the one who posted the poll showing he would! You're just arguing with yourself.

When people realize that he is hovering around 10% in the polls a week before the general election, would they really vote for him? That is the question. When answering a poll, you dont know how well he is doing.

I just find it completely unthinkable that Bloomberg would decide to run, get 5% of the vote and then become president.

Sanders now leads Clinton Nationally! Fox News Poll: Clinton 'feels the Bern,' trails Sanders by three points nationally | Fox News

*spoiler - it doesn't matter since the superdelegate fix is in for Clinton.

On the brightside, with her numbers tanking, she will very likely lose the GE.

Clinton is a good ole fashion loser because she is all politician and zero authenticity (by definition). Reminds me of Adlai Stevenson. Stiff as a board.

As of now, the poll is likely an outlier, just like the NBC poll showing Cruz leading Trump.

4 other national polls released today show Clinton leading:
Suffolk : Clinton +10
NBC : Clinton +11
YouGov : Clinton +14
Ipos: Clinton +28

Fox also releases at the same time a South Carolina poll which shows Clinton +28 (in line with other SC polls).
Now if you look at Nate's projections as to what happens to States results compared to national projections, Hillary should only be around +8 in South Carolina if Sanders is +3 nationally, and not way off at +28 as the SC poll shows.

Uh oh...

Columbia, South Carolina (CNN)Donald Trump acknowledged Thursday that he "could have" signaled support for invading Iraq during a 2002 interview with Howard Stern.

"It was probably the first time I was asked that question," the GOP presidential front-runner told CNN's Anderson Cooper during a South Carolina town hall. "By the time the war started, I was against the war."

He also noted he "wasn't a politician" at the time of the interview.

Ahead of Saturday's South Carolina Republican primary, Trump has repeatedly blasted former President George W. Bush for launching the war.

But Buzzfeed posted Thursday Trump's interview with Stern, given on the first anniversary following the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks. When asked whether he would support an invasion, Trump responded: "Yeah, I guess so."

"You know, I wish the first time it was done correctly," he added in the interview.

Trump's criticism of the war could be a risky move in this military-dominated state. One man in the audience confronted Trump for saying that Bush had lied about the existence of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.

"I would probably say that something was going on," Trump said. "I don't know why he went in" to Iraq.
