Panguitch Lake is one of the top 10 trout fishing lakes in the United States. And if you haven't skied Park City, and you're a skier, you really haven't skied at all.

So there's that.

and have zero chance of a general election win and where fewer than 100k Dems even show up (combined!) to caucuses....

Ok you have it your way. But realize it's lol territory to anyone with a realistic view of politics.

Clinton could actually make Arizona competitive in the general with Latino support. Idaho and Utah will not be blue in any of our lifetimes.

I see. Thought good Dems didn't do that. Isn't that the same exact argument Bernie supporters said about SC and were called on the carpet for that?

So why is it OK for you to make a claim that Idaho doesn't count, but when Bernie supporters said the same thing about SC it's not OK?

Please clarify.

Hillary is playing the delegate map. Which is why she was outspent and didnt campaign there. She won the popular vote though.

In states where most Democratic voters are non-white, such as Alabama and Mississippi, Hillary has won by similar margins.

when the polling experts screw up that bad, it becomes notable.
Same polling experts cited every day here, turning out to be bullshit come election day every time.
