for clinton supporters: why are you so committed to convincing us that bernie "cant win"?

[restorefreedom]

why not let it play out? i mean, if she is strong enough to win, she will win anyway, right? why not let a vigorous and spirited issue oriented campaign strengthen the eventual nom after everyone has had a chance to vote?

there will still be plenty of time for the nom to deal with trump, so why the rush?

[grasswire]

1. they want us to drop out before the FBI investigation report.

That's the truth of the matter.

They want her to be the undisputed nominee before the SHTF in May.

[restorefreedom]

5. that is my leading theory too

if bernie has dropped, they can plug in their crony of choice at the convention. but if bernie is there with approximately half the delegates, they can't stick in biden without major hell breaking loose

[grasswire]

8. yep

plus it is much harder politically to indict a nominee than a former secretary of state.

[Ken Burch]

2. Because they have to keep convincing themselves of that, just to keep going.

It's there last line of defense and of rationalization.

[revbones]

3. I think it's reinforcing their delusion

Hillary can lose, so deflect and project that Bernie can't win.

I've seen a lot of "Don't worry" posts, but that's a lot for people supposedly not worrying.

[bigtree]

4. because it's an election contest

...grow a spine.

Voters aren't children needing constant encouragement, and it's not your opponents job to make you comfortable in this election.

[Ken Burch]

6. So it's not because you actually even believe it?

Thanks for the honesty.

[Lizzie Poppet]

16. Kinda fits with the candidate herself. (nm)

[restorefreedom]

7. not looking for a comfy pillow

looking for a fair contest where everyone in every state gets to vote

[Lorien]

15. Ah! I'll borrow that for the next time Hillary fans

play the victim card.

[99th_Monkey]

9. So that Hillary & Trump can start their Tweedle-Dumb/Tweedle-Dee Punch & Judy Show

for the breathless masses.

[MisterP]

10. and let the VOTERS decide?!

[jeff47]

11. Because the first 1/3rd of the primary favors Clinton

So the campaign and her surrogates are very much trying to push an "it's over" story. Otherwise, there's a danger in the later 2/3rds that it might not go as planned.

The posters here are mostly talking about what the campaign talks about.

[restorefreedom]

13. yes, trying to avoid a bad calendar. nt

[GoneFishin]

12. Because they are lacking policy substance, so 75% of their game is psyops and head games. Nine out

of ten of their OPs have that idiotic "resistance is futile" stink to them.

[Lorien]

14. He's winning DESPITE the media blackout and slander

He's winning the Blue and Purple States. He's winning a whopping SEVENTY percent of Independents (of which there are far more of than in either party), and 20% of Republicans!

So guess what? It's HILLARY who can't win!

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

17. Fortunately, I don't vote based on electability...or shoe size.

I vote for the most progressive candidate on the ballot.
