Now, can you cut and paste some quotes where Hillary said she'd loose?

How about predicting that she'd win?

I surmise that it's the same, whoever is running, that they'd maintain this positive outcome. I heard her say it., too.

In what world would a candidate go around saying: We are going to lose!

Seems like you spent an awful lot of time putting together the quotes in your post there. I wouldn't expect any candidate to say anything less.

Have you got anything better that this?

Of course he says this. What is he going to say, hey we are going to lose. Call him on this? This is by far the dumbest thing I have ever seen written on this site and that is saying something.

Seriously, what do you expect him to say? Does a sports team say they are going to win? Does a performer ever say, "Hey this is going to be a real stinker of a concert but thanks for coming"?

Call him on it, yup you go Gomez163. You tell him.

You comprehension skills are sorely lacking, especially when citing your own words.

Are you a team captain?

Does that mean you are only supposed to call him on a third of those statements?

How many times has Hillary said she is winning?

In the game called "winning the hearts and minds", being a dick is a horrible way to start.

I can already envision Hillary's concession speech to Ted Cruz where she'll blame the fucking Progressives for her loss.

You might want to stop being a sour winner and try not to burn all your bridges en route to the nomination.

Okay. That's what politicians do. It's all part of the process. Did Hillary say she was going to win the states she lost? Oooh, oooh. Let's call her on it. Really, don't we all have better things to do? What do you want them to say? Hey, we're gonna lose NY, so fuck it, I'm outta here?

If Bernie wins, great. I'll be happy. If Hillary wins, I won't be happy. There are more primaries, and then there's the convention. Ease up. There are lots more things to go worked up about.
