(30,481 posts)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.

(12,655 posts)he will do the same to hillary. i don't really see another outcome.

(12,655 posts)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.

(30,481 posts)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.

DCBob
(24,689 posts)Hillary is ready for it. She will take him down.
restorefreedom
(12,655 posts)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.
