So you're for her in fighting a battle against an imaginary foe? That fits into her "I'm a victim" mentality pretty well.

Her parents were, certainly. Muggles are non-magic folk. Continuing with this analogy suggests that Bernie is Dumbledore. Hillary would be Harry's Aunt Petunia for always telling him what he can't do.

Hillary is like Delores Umbrage.

Also, Herminone is not a muggle. They call her a mudblood, a wizard offspring of muggles.

Many states, how many votes but the number of delegates, today they split the delegates, Sanders has lots of ground to cover, a steep bill to climb.

She will lose New York by 27%, and it will be her largest shift, cutting the lead to under 90, with PA, MD, DE favoring Bernie. She's pulling out all the stops now, and fortunately, none of them are working. Think fracking is going to help Clinton in PA, MD or DE? (I'm hearing loud laughter in the background in PA)

But be fair, now.

Someone who can't even comprehend a character from a novel geared to middle-school-age readers can hardly be expected to grasp the comparison to the central personality (personalities?) of the most inventive Woody Allen movie ever.
