Time for her highness to cancel the coronation and bow out gracefully for the good of the Democratic Party and Progressivism.

If we nominate Clinton we will be handing the election to Trump on a Goldman Sachs platter.

1. Never ever underestimate Trump

We do so at our own peril!!!!!!

[Trust Buster]

2. Sanders will not be on the ballot in November. What's your point ?

[GeorgiaPeanuts]

3. I'm sorry...

You might want to invest in some courses on reading comprehension.

[Trust Buster]

4. You might want to invest some time in reality......lol

[tabasco]

16. The reality is that the presumptive Democratic candidate is polling behind

and trending ever-downward against a clown-car con-man like Donald Trump.

[imagine2015]

5. If he isn't that means Trump will be elected President. Doesn't that bother you?

[Trust Buster]

8. You're the one starting threads highlighting favorable polls for Trump. I'm not. Very strange.

[Joe the Revelator]

6. Why don't you actually take the time to read the OP?

Come on. You can do it.

[senz]

12. The point is: Trump beats Hillary. Bernie beats Trump.

Is it worth throwing America to Trump just to see Hillary all "glorified" for one brief moment?

Is it really?

[JoePhilly]

7. Bernie is winning the realclear politics primary.

But losing the Democratic Party primary.

[Trust Buster]

9. They wish to replace actual votes for polls. They are very desperate.

[senz]

14. So you don't care what happens in the GE?

A little tiny victory for Hillary is worth an entire Trump presidency to you? Is she really worth all that to you?

[BootinUp]

10. Hillary on MTP today: He (Sanders) has not had a SINGLE negative ad run against him. nt

[senz]

17. Right: he has had Brockian STUNTS run against him -- like Nevada.

Doing it that way keeps Hillary looking "clean" but it is HER campaign that pulls the stunts, so in reality, she is anything but "clean."

Fantasyland cannot be that great a place to live.

[restorefreedom]

20. absolutely true, IF

you remove all the brockian swill she herself has thrown at him and his wife

[BootinUp]

11. Hillary on MTP today: When people actually vote they take it seriously

She has more primary votes than Trump got.

[GeorgiaPeanuts]

15. Barely....

And he had to face off against multiple well oiled opponents. He has systematically decimated ever major opponent in his race. Carson, Jeb Bush, Fiorina, Rubio, Rand Paul, Cruz, and Kasich. So comparing their two vote totals is irrelevant.

[Sinistrous]

21. But hey, its da MATHS!

[workinclasszero]

13. Bernie still lost

Deal with it.

[Waiting For Everyman]

18. Aww, Hillary's slipping off the coronation throne.

No worries, I'm sure Debbie will rig California for her.

[jamese777]

19. There are "polls" and then there are "the polls"

When real live human beings have gone to "the polls" and voted:
Primaries' total popular vote as of May 20th
Hillary Clinton: 13,192,713 (55.5%)
Bernie Sanders: 10,158,889 (42.7%)
Donald Trump: 11,266,041

Clinton over Sanders: 3,033,824
Clinton over Trump: 1,926,672
Trump over Sanders: 1,057,152

Hillary Clinton: 1,775 pledged delegates
Bernie Sanders: 1,499 pledged delegates

Hillary Clinton: 522 superdelegates
Bernie Sanders: 42 superdelegates

Hillary Clinton: 2,297 total delegates
Bernie Sanders: 1,541 total delegates

Hillary Clinton: 26 contests won
Bernie Sanders: 21 contests won

Hillary Clinton needs 86 delegates
Bernie Sanders needs 842 delegates

[GeorgiaPeanuts]

23. Is the fact that Trump has a vote total close to Hillary in a race with many more viable candidates.

...supposed to be reassuring?

How many close primaries have there been which deny independents who will decide this election their fair say in this matter. You ignore independents at your peril. As such Trump has the white house all but gifted to him on a Goldman Sachs platter.

[beaglelover]

22. Sanders has not been vetted. This is not surprising.

[MisterP]

24. the Clinton diehards' reasoning is that with enough GE time they can scare enough lefties away

from Trump and acquire a lot of discontented Republicans, assuming that the GOP's usual party discipline is somehow fractured this election

in fact, the continued run of the stronger GE candidate in the primary is what's hurting her against Trump
