Hillary should just drop out. Bernie's winning the progressive states like Utah, along with

the crucial electorate-rich swing states like Idaho. Hillary can only win irrelevant states like Ohio and Florida, and deep red states like Massachusetts.

No Democrat has ever won the presidency without Idaho. And Utahans have for many decades formed the cornerstone of the progressive movement.

Hillary, as goes Utah, so goes the nation.

and now pretend that Utah and Idaho are the voice of the people.

Clinton fans have always been levelheaded and consistent: it's about the delegates, and Clinton is winning (a lot) more of them.

Clinton supporters are so objective about everything and never put spin on anything.

She's running the Little Campaign That Could, overcoming all the odds to represent the little people.

Bernie fans first dismissed southern red states because of their "master/slave" mentality, and complained about how undemocratic caucuses are, and now they are boldface-capsing Bernies yuge wins in a couple red state caucuses. That's hypocrisy. And Clinton supporters have not done that, so don't try dragging us into what is happening over on your side.

No, she's not running the "Little Campaign That Could", she's the favorite now, she's been the favorite since the beginning, and she's going to be the nominee. That doesn't change the hypocrisy.

The supporters of both campaigns are not the same, and have not behaved the same way. Don't lump me in with the hypocrisy of the Bernie fans.
