Why Super Tuesday May Be Super For Hillary Clinton

Here’s Why Super Tuesday May Be Super For Hillary Clinton

Here’s what’s really been going on in the democratic primary:

SNIP
Despite months of claims by every cable news outlet that Hillary Clinton was “in trouble,” that narrative never fit the facts.
She’s won three of the first four states to vote, and the only one she lost was in the backyard of her locally popular opponent.
She’s heldconsistently large leads in every southern state all along, and she was always expected to do well in every region that wasn’t all-white and all-rural.
Her ability to compete in Iowa all but proved that she would dominate once she reached the more diverse states.

And there’s about to be a whole lot more of what we saw this Saturday in South Carolina.

On March 1st, eleven states vote on Super Tuesday.
The top polling and demographic analysts, the same ones who have been trying to tell you all along that Hillary would win South Carolina in a blowout even as you were instead watching the quasi-fictional political theater of cable news, are predicting that she’ll win at least seven of those states in blowouts, and could win as many as ten states out of the eleven.

Here is the very latest polling from the Super Tuesday states, the averages of each of them as complied and updated daily by Real Clear Politics:

Alabama (53 delegates) – Clinton +28

Arkansas (32 delegates) – Clinton +29

Colorado caucus (66 delegates) – Clinton +28

Georgia (102 delegates) – Clinton +34

Massachusetts (91 delegates) – Clinton +8

Minnesota caucus (77 delegates) – Clinton +34

Oklahoma (38 delegates) – Clinton +9

Tennessee (67 delegates)- Clinton +26

Texas (252 delegates) – Clinton +25

Vermont (16 delegates) – Bernie wins his own state by 75 percentage points!

Virginia (95 delegates) – Clinton +19


The pollsters also say Hillary will dominate even more thoroughly a week later in the March 15th states.

Bottom line: it’s looking very good for Hillary Clinton, as it has all along.

May be super? It will be a super great day!

(And I'm relatively conservative, low key and cynical on my estimates; if I'm seeing a super great wonderful excellent fantastic day...well...)

the press will have only two questions.

"What possible path to victory are you imagining?"

"When are you retiring your campaign?"
