Only one candidate has more votes than Trump.

Hillary will go into convention with a huge delegate lead, huge popular vote lead, and more votes than Donald Trump.

If Bernie cant even get more votes than Trump now, it would be party suicide to nominate him, and it would be a downticket disaster trying to defend him. Trying to convince the "establishment" to back a candidate who would be handily defeated is not going to happen either. This primary was effectively over on Super Tuesday, and in 72 hours it will be the icing on the cake.

Bernie should then channel his movement to help electing downticket Dems, particularly in Florida, Ohio, and North Carolina.

Her road to the GE will make the primaries look like a Sunday school picnic.

He's an orange white supremacist who will get shellacked at debates.

11. Did you research 'sample bias' and figure out why exit polls are so unreliable?

Statistics 101: exit polling not nearly as reliable as national polling.

HRC is so damaged, in so many ways, to so many voters, yet you insist that the Dems will cakewalk to the WH with her carrying the banner.
The party establishment is delusional. But then the Dems have always been brilliant at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. It's what they do.

10. If Bernie can't defeat such a "damaged" opponent ...

... he'd never be able to defeat a well funded GOP candidate either. Considering Bernie's performance, when you degenerate Hillary, you're not doing Bernie any favors either.

Hillary will be our nominee. Time to wake up and smell the coffee.

It would be one thing if Hillary was winning but Bernie was in 2nd. But he's not....he's in 3rd.

But the voters in our household, and most of our neighbors, will NEVER voter for her--let the chips fall where they may. The days of holding my nose and voting for the less sleazy candidate are over.
