I see that now the meme in GD-P is that HRC has a problem winning outside "the bible belt"

So I asked the OP if Arizona, Ohio, Massachusetts, Illinois, Nevada are part of the bible belt? I guess "Bible Belt" is their new name for the 'confederacy'. I also reminded them that Bernie hasn't proven he can win significant African-American and Latino support yet in a primary.

I wonder if they realize how ridiculous they are when they post such idiocy? It's so easy to comeback with counter arguements about Bernie's own lack of support among key groups of the Democratic coalition. Apparently they think only voters under the age of 30 who are overwhelmingly white are the only ones that matter.

So, let me relearn my geography.

I'm a native Illinoisan.

So far, this election cycle, I've been told that Illinois was a Confederate state. Now, it's part of the Bible Belt?

REALLY???????

RUST BELT STATE tyvm!

winning outside the Bible Belt...and Rust Belt...and Sun Belt. And soon, the Industrial Northeast.

Yeah, she's in deep, deep trouble indeed what with that 226 delegate lead she's got there. Deep trouble.

Berniebots seem to think that if Hillary doesn't win the states that Bernie has she won't win them in the General. Does that also mean Bernie won't win Iowa, Nevada, Massachusetts, Virginia, Florida, North Carolina, or Ohio?
