Drink until Unconsciousness:
You become enthusiastic to vote for one of the candidates

Oh darn and I was really looking forward to watching the debate.

Martin O'Malley is America's backup QB.

Because we all know that if there is anyone you can trust to keep on an even keel and not screw people over for no reason, it's Donald Trump...

we get the spectacle of a Trump presidency.

*gets popcorn*

That is in no way shape or form a win.  A public massacre is quite the spectacle.  Doesn't make it win.

Because when O'Malley left the race people dropped from considering three choices to two.

Okay I gotta admit I was not expecting O'Malley.

It's an interesting idea and food for thought, but how do you reconcile it with her approval among democrats long before anyone considered O'Malley as a Clinton-lite?

If it was the O'Malley effect inflating her ratings, she wouldn't have consistently had ratings far higher then today back when nobody knew who O'Malley was.

Someone covered that earlier in this thread.  The media would fawn over how he goes to any lengths to help the american farmer.

Yes and evidence shows that conducting random site inspections of ground water at suburban tampa homes will knock a couple of (statistically significant) percentage points points off the sale price of the homes with good water.  Humans are extremely weird with their valuations.  I just dont see what your specific examples have to do with the graph.

Reelya, I dont really see how your comparison applies.  I was talking about a period when people were growing less favorable to Clinton while your comparison is about how they might inflate their opinion of someone.

or did people who already had more unfavorable views of Clinton prefer Sanders?

There are polls over a body of time.  It would be reasonable to attribute some of the changes to different people being Sanders supports over time different time frames but there are some time frames where things would be pretty steady.  Between January and June the race was pretty static.

I like this graph.  I can look at it and see whatever strikes my fancy.

A panel indicates it's done by experts.  We have death ouija boards or death lotteries.

Time to make America great again, starting with the supreme court.

Trump has much bigger priorities, like downballot Florida races.

The Vermont Progressive Party begs to differ. They do pretty well, too.

The M-DFLP actually has majorities and control of the governors house half the time.  No one else comes close.  Sure the libertarians elected a governor but so did the WWE.
