The electorate of the greatest super power on earth really doesn't strongly care about who chooses who they vote for...

We oughtn't wonder how we got to 'here'.

So I don't know what you are trying to say here. Also, there are 34 more primaries and over 75% of the delegates yet to be determined.

Let's not jump to confusions. Let's just relax and see what happens.

Enjoy the show!

Why is that? Obama won states that Clinton won in 2008.

You don't seem to understand the relationship between the primary and the GE.

I am saying that no Dem candidate will ever win the EVs in those southern states. Secy Clinton also has to win in the states which Dems have carried in the recent presidential elections. She has done that, a couple of which were fairly close, but Sen. Sanders has handily won some, too. I would agree that VA was a big one for her.

But too many Clinton supporters have been posting that it is over for Sanders, and they've been doing so for weeks. Well, that doesn't go over so well when these results are much more nuanced than an overwhelming Clinton win where one could state that.

And I acknowledge that I am somewhat spinning a bit here, but this is still far from over.

I hope I have been more clear.

My best to you.

Just as neither Clinton nor Sanders are likely to prevail in Oklahoma.

And why, exactly, does Clinton need to win Democratic primaries in states that Democrats have carried in recent elections? As noted, Obama didn't win in NY or CA, but he handily carried those states in the GE. In fact, he lost the CA primary by 8 points and then won the GE by 14.

My point is that there is no basis for correlating the outcome of a primary with the outcome of the GE in the same state. If nominated, I would fully expect Bernie to take Mass in the GE. And even though Trump lost the OK primary, I would fully expect him to defeat either Sanders or Clinton in that state in the GE.

And have some fun.

The best thing about that is we don't need to tear ourselves apart along the way.

Sound like a good plan?

For us to cede back any of that advantage by not standing together would be tragic.
