If Hillary loses will she drag this thing out like she did in 2008?

Bernie could win IA,NH NV and on to SC (by then a toss up)

inevitable to insignificant: 2008 Clinton Retrospective (originally titled: Hillary, it's over. Please leave...)
Note a must see her overconfidence is ___________________________



Sanders is actually trending upward same as Obama was in 2008
Monday, February 1 Iowa caucus 52 D, 30 R Closed
Tuesday, February 9 New Hampshire 32 D, 23 R Mixed
Saturday, February 20 Nevada caucus (D) 43 Closed
South Carolina (R) 50 Open
Tuesday, February 23 Nevada caucus (R) 30 Closed
Saturday, February 27 South Carolina (D) 59 Open ( Bernie's momentum could have really picked up by this point
in time))SC Is an open primary so a big disadvantage for Hillary

I don't think she will want to run again in another 8 years, so I don't know what point she'd have to make this time.

Then again, in 2008, I didn't think she'd want to run again in 2016, so what do I know/

of Bernie gaining momentum after possible wins in IA and NH heading into NV and an advantage in SC since it is an open Primary then comes super Tuesday.
The video was to show Hillary is just as arrogant now as she was back in 2008 (watch the video) and also to show how Bernie is trending upward as was Obama in Feb 08 heading in to super Tuesday

if this offends you I will take it down

Even if Bernie gets 100% of the vote in the first four primaries/caucuses, and that's not going to happen.

At worst she will do well enough to justify continuing at least into April. Hopefully Bernie will wrap it all up by the end of that month, but even that's a very optimistic hope.

What we don't want is a resurgence of the PUMAs, but I'm sure they'll be back in full force.

They don't have the balls to even try it, and if they did it'd lead to the biggest electoral defeat in history.

and all of this because they can't get enough votes. What a loony trip this primary is. Beats the deaniac wars all to hell.

They see it going national, which they hadn't planned.

Despite what posters here (some claiming to be in the know) have been crowing about for a year.

There are some striking similarities between that character and Hill. Hope Bernie's aware of it.

The reasoning will be that he deserves no Democratic delegates because he's not a registered Democrat. The Clinton camp will attempt to walk away with EVERY delegate and then claim after the fact their win was unanimous.

Take that to the bank.

He managed to make the retreat an even larger mind numbing disaster by staying in his bubble too. So yes.

After Super Tuesday, will he drop out? I don't think you will be cool with your own standards there. Tagging for future reference.

if she still has her health in 4 or 8 years you can bet she'll be back again. She wants that white house win badly. That part scares the shit out of me. She wants it for all the wrong reasons. Sanders on the other hand wants to win for the right reasons. He has a vision for our country. Anyone who can't see that we as a country are on the wrong path today are either blind or in denial. I want neither leading me anywhere.

Hillary will simply go to her grave believing she didn't loose but rather it was taken from her.

You want to see a huge turnout. Nominate Hillary for the Dem candidate and I'm here to say that the republiCONs will come out of the wood work, out from under the tombstones to vote against her. That you can take to the bank. I've not seen the hate towards her in anyone else in our history. Most either love her or hate her no in between to be had. Whether that hate is based on facts I don't know, I suspect not but I do know there is a lot of it out there.

And I have little doubt that, if Clinton happens to lose the primary, her supporters will have the sense and maturity to cast their votes for the remaining Democratic candidate.

If Sanders loses, I am less confident that his supporters, who've spent months passionately attacking Clinton, will recognize what's at stake and vote for her.

I do know, in the (unlikely, but by no means impossible) event that Sen. Sanders does get the nomination, a certain subset of her supporters are going to lose their shit in an epic fashion the likes of which.... can scarcely be imagined.
