She cannot. She has the same problem Warren does - she's just not that charismatic/energetic. Warren and Amy always fall flat with me during the debates and during their rallies.

Definitely not as bad as Biden but it's just not there.

Buttchug is gonna go down in flames in SC.

Nah, I think she's plateauing right now. Once we get to more diverse states her numbers will go down with the rest of them. She's also piggybacking off a relatively good debate performance and that won't come back.

Her name recognition also isn't that great. But then Warren has better name recognition and she's doing poorly so that probably matters less.

Watching NYT, CNN, ABC, NBC, etc. meltdown over Sanders has been a hilarious experience. Everything about their reaction is a crystal clear demonstration of just how bad the corporate media really is. Donald Trump deserves flak for criticizing them because his criticisms are ignorant and stupid. When Sanders talks about how they are beholden to establishment interests and this is a bad thing, he means it and, most of all, he is right, for the right reasons. These are giant multi-billion dollar companies, run and worked by liberal elites who think they are altruistic and noble, so blinded by self-righteousness they don't even realize how they've been captured and remolded into instinctual supporters of the status quo. It is what would happen if you cloned Spider a couple thousand times and put them in charge of national news coverage.

In 2016, they were 100% wrong. The newscycle for the entire campaign was one long slog of how Trump can't win - until he did. Queue hundreds of post-mortem, masturbatory thinkpieces explaining how these "responsible journalists" failed to see the signs. Even though their own polls showed Trump within the margin of error months before the election! Even in the face of overwhelming evidence that it was at least a very close race, they clung pathetically to some vague notion of "institutional knowledge," where the rules never really change and a man like Trump just couldn't be President.

They have learned nothing. Nothing. Every now and again, they'll release a piece about how "Sanders could win," solely for the sake of preemptive positive posterity. But the main push and focus is a simmering but active hostility towards Sanders, largely because he sees them for the corrupt hacks they are, and because if he wins, he'll go up against the same corporate conglomerates that write the paycheque they receive for "DEFENDING TEH PEOPLE FROM TYRANNY" lol. But no, he can't win, because he is a radical extremist who wants, uh, universal health care and, uh, a $15 minimum wage in 2020, when the average rent is $24,000 a month for a bachelor pad with no windows.

Honestly, the number one reason why traditional media is failing is because of the f**k reptiles in charge. They think people born and raised on the internet, bombarded with fake news since childhood, are going to fall for their shtick because it has a veneer of social acceptability. Indeed, when you read their pieces, you get the sense that they take themselves seriously and think their opinions matter to the masses. What a f**k joke it all is boys. I can't wait for these old useless f**k to die off, so that people unafraid to be truly great again can take over and hopefully prevent Western civ from total humiliation. f**k, if it meant finally ridding ourselves of these parasites, I'd say just put Papa Musk in charge of the camps. He'd probably figure out a way to render their disgusting corpses into rocket fuel.

Peoples heads would explode if Melania Trump became the first woman President in 2024. My guess is she probably don't even want that job. To bad really. The Dem's will pay dearly in Nov for not having any plan other then their three year display of butthurt over 2016.
