Hillary's strategy of "feeling sorry" for young voters didn't work too well in Wisconsin

She only lost by 84-16 among 18-24 year old voters, 79-20 among 25-29, and 69-31 among 30-39.

With regard to the not doing their research and just relying on what people tell them charge by Hillary, it turns out that in Wisconsin Hillary voters are less educated than Bernie voters. Hillary won 50-49 among people with a high school education or less. Bernie won 63-37 among college graduates.

When asked if they think Hillary Clinton is honest and trustworthy, Wisconsin Democratic Primary voters said yes by 58% to 39%. When asked if they think Bernie Sanders is honest and trustworthy, they said yes by 89% to 10%.

That is, I think it worked PERFECTLY (for Bernie). He won, didn't he?

I mean, yes, it didn't turn out so well for HER. But that's not my concern. It turned out GREAT for Bernie!!!

Go Hillary, keep it up!

The delegates don't matter, because they are planning a riot on the convention floor to force Sanders as the nominee.

His outright refusal to help down-ballot Dems in their own primaries and races will ensure NO Super Delegate will switch to him. He and his supporters can try and make a stink at the Democratic Convention, but thanks to Bernie's own campaign adviser, Tad Devine, the co-creator of Super Delegates, the SD's will ensure than NO faux-Dem will take the nomination from the true Dem who is ahead in the popular vote and ahead in pledged delegates (no matter if his campaign steals a couple here or here - as they're trying to do in NV).

and given her tone, I'd say she is expecting a small disaster in New York: she usually doesn't snap and snide unless there is a big loss looming on the horizon.

HRC 1303 pledged
Sanders 1082 pledged

221 difference between the two. He cut the margin by a bit

For the last six months her world has been shrinking. Her 'momentum' is going in reverse. Not a desirable thing going into a general election.

Polls don't mean squat, because despite her "negatives" and Bernie's "positives", she's still WINNING.

If including SD then you are just ignorant of how the DNC convention works. Because SD do not vote until the convention. Please if going to argue on Clinton's behalf at least learn about how DNC primaries work it really makes it look like the M$M has brain washed you.

And reading your post, I really don't care to "know you".

But your post sounds angry, anxious, and pretty nervous. And you should be.

I thought the Hillary supporters would be licking their wounds after that beatdown in Wisconsin last night. I guess marching orders went out this morning.

Notice that she didn't say in her teens, because she was a Goldwater Girl then.

And after she got done protesting Henry Kissinger in her 20's, she later became good friends with him and embraced his worldview.
