"BUT THEY ARE RED STATES!!!!!"...

[JaneyVee]

First it was "END THE CAUCUS!" when Bernie lost Iowa and Nevada. Then it was "BUT THEY ARE RED STATES!" when Hillary swept the South.

Then....Bernie wins some red state caucuses, and it's "BERNIE WON RED STATE CAUCUSES! YAY!".

Thy hypocrisy knows no bounds.

Here's the deal: Hillary was outspent in all 3 states by nearly 3:1 margin. She didnt even campaign in ID or UT except for sending Michelle Kwan to UT for a day. She is playing the delegate map. She increased her popular vote totals with 3 more states down.

1. LOL. Utah! The voice of progressive America!!1!1!!!

[JaneyVee]

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

[reddread]

2. I believe I find the flavor of excuses like these intoxicating

More please?

[JaneyVee]

4. Im pointing out the laughable hypocrisy.

Hilarious because its true.

[reddread]

5. arent we all?

the only question is who is laughing now?

[JaneyVee]

7. I dont know, are you all?

[giftedgirl77]

15. Basically the ppl that understand math & statistics.

This is highly entertaining to those of us who didn't wake up yesterday when St Bernard decided to play politics & understand how the election process works.

[reddread]

17. hows much gift does that require?

especially when fabricating and spreading manure?
takes some real crafty geniuses I bet.

[giftedgirl77]

19. Enough to understand how elections work.

Maybe some will rub off on you. 😉

[reddread]

20. flatter yourself

Bernie will take the whole enchilada,
and NOTHING liars and orphan chasing affiliates say is going to change that.
this is our turn.

22. Jajaja, bookmarking for later use.

Maybe if you click your heels 3 times he'll give you a pony too.

[reddread]

24. some gifts you display

[bravenak]

31. Are you actually serious?

The whole enchilada? Like, are we even watching the same election? Yo, he is WAY BEHIND. Y'all be actually serious about this...

[Armstead]

8. Meh. Sanders supporters are hypocrites about such things. So are Clinton supporters.

That includes me and thee....It's called human nature.

[JaneyVee]

10. How so?

[Armstead]

12. Oh I don't know....All those victories in the Deep South that Democrats will not win anyway

[JaneyVee]

14. But the hypocrites are the ones who....

Said red states dont matter. Hillary supporters never said that.

[Armstead]

16. Whatever. ....I know Clinton supporters are a much superior breed of human

So objective and free of all biases.

[JaneyVee]

21. By all means, celebrate winning red states.

Bernie fans were the only ones bashing red state wins.

[Armstead]

33. I never realized we had a race of superior beings so free from hypocrisy walking the earth

You're being ridiculous

[JaneyVee]

41. We do.

[Surya Gayatri]

9. This little factoid tells the story: "Hillary was outspent in all 3 states by nearly 3:1 margin."

Not rocket science.

[IdaBriggs]

11. Hillary is NOT an unknown candidate. Her name recognition is Very High.

Candidates are supposed to spend money so voters know who they are and what they stand for - and where she doesn't spend money advertising, people who KNOW HER vote for a little guy who prior to one year ago had no national presence - a Senator from a very small state.

Another issue you completely ignore is the "millennial vote" - people who learned about her while they were in elementary school. My kids are currently learning about Michelle and Barack Obama; they have reading assignments and biographies, and at elementary grade levels, it is all flattering "rah rah" stuff. My kids *adore* the President and First Lady. But the people who grew up with the Clintons in the White House are rejecting her in unprecedented margins.

If she was a GOOD CANDIDATE - think Elizabeth Warren - people would be flocking. Instead, one side hates her, a large percentage of her own party despises her cronyism and corruption, and the best argument her supporters can truly offer is "be afraid of Trump!"

[JaneyVee]

13. She has higher favs than Bernie among Dems.

And check the total popular vote from last night.

[IdaBriggs]

18. I'm in Michigan so I'm not seeing that.

I know one person who is supporting her, and doing so while holding his nose. He prefers Bernie, but believes Hillary can win. (I don't - I think she will drop out in return for a non-prosecution.)

The money, power and corruption amassed by the Clintons since they left office is unprecedented. The fact they are trying to get back there (making the funds they've collected a good investment by their backers) is one of the worst, most disillusioning moments of my political life.

I am embarrassed by them.

[redstateblues]

26. Everybody I knew at the time voted for McGovern

How is it possible that he didn't win?

[Armstead]

34. Yeah 1972 is exactly like 2016

[mcar]

23. K&R

[Jitter65]

25. And of course, don't forget the voter fraud in AZ because Hillary won. nt

[redstateblues]

28. cue the X Files theme song

[monicaangela]

27. It is time for Hillary Clinton

to start trying to figure out how she is going to get independents to vote for her. A victory in the primaries will not help her in the general. Facts and wisdom says that HRC does not stand up well against Trump or Cruz in a General Election.

[redstateblues]

29. BS- Facts show that Hillary beats Trump in the GE

There is no conventional wisdom this year.

[monicaangela]

37. No need for hostitility and vulgur language

A recent CNN/ORC poll found that while Trump and Clinton perform extremely well against candidates of their own parties, they don't when competing across the aisle.

Bernie Sanders and Clinton both would beat Trump by double digits, according to hypothetical general election matchups.

Eliminate Trump, though, and Clinton's race gets a lot tighter. Ted Cruz would tie with her in a hypothetical matchup, and John Kasich would beat her by 6 points.

Kasich fares the best against the Democratic front-runner, yet only 17 percent of Republican voters polled want him to get the nomination.

However, a large majority –– 65 percent –– of Republicans said if Trump wins the nomination, they would not want to see another Republican candidate run in the general election as a third-party candidate.

On the Democratic side, Sanders actually performs better than Clinton against every Republican candidate. But it's becoming more and more unlikely he'll get the Democratic nomination.


My point was "it is time for Hillary Clinton to start figuring out how she is going to win the Independent vote in the General.

Instead of getting angry at me, maybe it would be a better idea to help your candidate figure that out.

[DCBob]

30. Yeah, Hillary is playing prevent defense now.

Which makes sense. No need to blow tons of money and effort for no reason. Its time to focus on the general.

[Loki]

32. Idaho has a pop of 1.6 million.

Wow, so many of them voted too.

[baldguy]

35. Sanders wins in states that don't look like the rest of America. Clinton wins in those that do.

[JaneyVee]

38. True true.

[Thinkingabout]

36. I find it interesting Hillary was a senator for eight years, SOS for four years

And she does have not only name recognition but voters knows her accomplishments. On the other side Sanders was mayor for ten years and was in Congress for twenty five years and he does not have name recognition and voters do not know what he has accomplished. Now, why is one with less time elected called "established" and the other with thirty years an elected official is "not established". Maybe it is simply because Hillary has more accomplishments and experience.

39. Red states full of white people matter

More populated red states full of black people don't

???
????????

[JaneyVee]

40. That seems to be the message.
