Not to mention all of the Independents and conservative Dems who will not vote for him. Then there's talk of the Repubs officially putting a conservative on a third party ticket.

Excuse me if I don't put much weight behind it. How are you primary predictions working? That isn't an asshole comment. It's directly related to your thoughts on the GE. Everything goes against you on this one.

So the only metric you have used doesn't make sense.

and the main reason is trump. he is also drawing many first time voters of all ages. i wish i had a data link, but i have seen it. not in the mood to go fishing tonight, maybe tomorrow.

i know you aren't being snarky. i appreciate the congenial discussion.

If I wanted Sanders to win the primary I would fight for him until the end and at least make his voice as powerful as possible. There is a solid future with the EW wing of the party and Sanders has given it even more clout. I cheer that aspect loudly.

I'm not making a primary prediction with that statement. Been around long enough to know anything can happen.

even if he does not get the nom which is still not decided (even though tonight sucked), he will have a lot delegates and hopefully a lot of influence.

we are moving more left as a country. the irony is that trump is the most left gop running in many ways. so we are getting there.

but the type of campaign warfare trump engages in, i don't know if this country has ever seen it, or how it might react.
