I'm really feeling sad for the people of this nation right now. I can't believe so many people are voting for the frontrunners on both sides. I guess they know something I don't.

Closest I can think of is the story of Pandora's Box.

Which I guess means you guys got all the death, ills, and evils that were in there with the Hope.

shit floats. (Meaning hope may be at the bottom of the barrel but feces are at the top and since you empty a barrel top-down, the shit comes out first.)

as Clinton found out in 2008. The GOP has primaries in states with winner takes all and in that case, you could get more "erosion". But all of the Democratic primaries/caucuses are proportional and at this point, Bernie would need to basically have blow-outs in much of the rest of the states just to catch up.
