I've asked myself this 100 times

How are we losing to her?

Are the blackout and the Clinton machine that good??


How the hell are we losing to her. She is one of the worst candidates I will have seen ever to possibly run in the GE

I'm sorry. She's awful. And I was once a staunch admirer.

Even with the voting machines, the Democratic party machines, the DNC, the full force of the corporate media and the low information voters all 100% in her corner, the best she can do outside the Deep South is to eke out a tie.

Bernie won 3 of 4 states over the weekend, the state count is 11 to 8 and the delegate count is presently 676 to 476 with many, many more Bernie-favorable states just on the horizon. Good times ahead!!!!

Look at what is happening with the GOP. They're voting for the celebrity. The Clintons are counting on this and all of the party machine favors they have built up over the years. Credit to them for doing so (this means raising money for people, campaigning for them, etc). Bernie hasn't made as many friends in the party over the decades and that is a handicap for him in this campaign. Throw in that he's going against one of the most famous people in the world. It's a tough mountain to climb.

I have seen quite a few posts talking about them. Hillary and Bill, Bill and Hillary. Two for one. One post I read was over the top happy about Bill roaming around the White House again.

I can imagine that they even floated the idea of recycling the theme song "Don't Stop Believing" for her campaign, but decided that it would be too obvious...even for those willing to lap up her "evolution", aka known as whoever the audience happens to be, as the truth.

She is pandering to right wing big money, but the right wing peons will have none of it...because her name is Clinton.

It won't matter if every single Bernie supporter hops aboard the Hillary train. She will not make it to the White House.
