Hillary weak bc of BS primary win in W VA? Uh, no

[realmirage]

I don't recall anyone saying Obama was weak and couldn't win the general when Hillary was ahead in the popular vote and only 60 delegates behind when she dropped out. She was winning states right up to the end, and yet Obama went on to win the general with no problem.

These articles about Hillary being weak are probably just the media being the media, trying to create dramatic story lines for click bait. I really wish we had journalists who were worth a shit online.

And btw, it's obvious the republicans in wva fucked with our election. The exit polls prove it. I bet BS supporters aren't crying about this one being rigged. But who cares anyway.

1. They also shouldn't overlook that she won a primary yesterday in Nebraska, too

even if it doesn't allocate delegates. She did no campaigning or ads and won a pretty nice victory.

3. Seems that people are ignoring that fact! How convenient.

4. So great that on the same day BS gets a GOP win, HRC wins big with DEMS!!!

in a State BS won with small turnout caucus!!! HAHA! Her turnout in Nebraska was almost three times as the caucus!!

8. Yes, she won that primary by 60-40. That's the way Nebraskans voted when not confronted....

....by bullies in the caucus.

2. Better way to make a determination of those voted in WV

Less than 200K voted overall in the Democratic primary. The young white Democrats and independents voted for Bernie. Then toss in Trump supporters voting for Bernie. Neither Bernie or HRC would have a chance in hell of winning WV in November - and that is a fact. Reason? Stances on coal. Bernie has an even more extreme vision of coal than HRC. At least she went out and faced her critics there. Bernie chose to play it safe in a controlled auditorium. A real leader isn't afraid to face their critics.

5. What amazes me is all the DUers that cast Bernie's W. VA win as a triumph of progressivism ...

when it can just as easily (and in my view, more accurately) be explained as ...

The same voters that preferred the white woman over the Black man (in 2008), prefer the white man over the white female (in 2016).

And, when you factor in trump ... they prefer the "uber-AMERICAN" white male over the Jewish Socialist man AND the white woman.

9. In 2008 when it mattered, Hillary drew 240,000 votes!

The Bernie turnout when it mattered for him was 120,000.

It's plain to see Hillary Democrats stayed home - it happens in primary states where it doesn't matter anymore.

The West Virginia Democratic primary (not West Virginia the state! ) is not representative of anything other than the ongoing problem of allowing a DINO in a system that is open to independents and other party crossover mischief!
