So glad he is serious about winning and fighting "until the last vote".

Her legal issues may do her in before she get nominated. Crazy to even take a chance that it could be after she gets the nomination but before the GE. Then what?

The further right this party goes the more out of touch it's getting.

and other key parts of the Democratic coalition and cater to indies and young white men. Because it is pretty clear who is not voting for Bernie.

The person with the most pledged delegates gets the prize.

Taking your ball away is shortsighted. I would vote for any Democrat, no matter how much I disliked him/her, in order to prevent the orange narcissist from becoming president.

If he can get past the primaries, he should do very well when he needs to appeal to all voters instead of only Dem voters. But he's not likely to get the chance.

She started out high until the public got re-introduced to her, and now they're starting to remember.

And Bernie is only going up. He's already at the top in likeablilty and trustworthiness.
