1. Nominating Clinton is an implicit gift of the White House to Trump.

7. They don't care. They just want her to have the nomination.

So she can have it. You know: just HAVE it.

Don't forget: she has earned it. It is hers and hers alone!

[MisterP]

18. "Patriotism is when love of your own people comes first; nationalism, when hate for people other

than your own comes first"

they want to see Sanders defeated and get a vicarious thrill out of seeing her beaming/smirking at the con

what happens afterwards they already blame 100% on Sanders supporters anyway, so they have no reason to change a jot or tittle of their political thinking

(N.B.: this doesn't apply to people supporting Clinton out of personal connection, "experience," or name recognition)

2. The Democrats have a candidate that WILL WIN

When will they WAKE UP and smell the coffee?

Sanders 2016!!

& recommend!!

3. IMHO - A Vote For HRC In The Primaries Has Been And Will Be A Vote For Trump In The General Election

eom

4. Interesting poll

Irrelevent but still interesting.

Trump seems to have gotten a bounce when
he got the lock on the nomination.
Probably our nominee will as well.

[senz]

8. Well then our nominee had better be Sanders.

Unless the presidency doesn't really matter?

[griffi94]

9. It's too late for Sanders I think

Since the Democratic primaries are not winner take all
there aren't enough contests left for him to make up
his deficit in pledged delegates.

I still think our nominee will get a bounce.

Trumps is from some of Cruzs supporters going to Trump
since Cruz dropped out.

Our nominee will get the same.

5. This is not going to end well.

It's going to be an ugly General if she gets the nom and I truly think it's a horrible matchup for Dems. Bernie could win this, but the establishment is doing everything in their considerable power to keep that from happening.

[senz]

20. Voting for a bad, corrupt, weak candidate

seems sad and unhinged. I hope they wake up.

[itsrobert]

6. And yet, Sanders can't get it done when it counts

3+ Million less votes than Hillary
Less Delegates than Hillary
No chance of winning the nomination

Let's hug it out. It's over for Bernie.

The same people predicting a Trump win in November, are the same people that said Bernie will win the nomination. Wrong all the time. They said Bernie will win New York, Illinois, Ohio,Florida, Kentucky, Iowa, etc. They were wrong.

[senz]

10. Oh, like it doesn't really matter. Right?

Just "hug it out," put the inferior candidate up there (making the hearts of all her fans go pitty pat) and then hand the presidency to Trump.

You know perfectly well that your candidate's mediocre showing is based on years of stacking the deck in her favor, intimidating everyone in D.C. acquiring crooked compromised wealth -- before she even knew what the hell her platform would be. So she had other people write it up for her. That is an empty, empty candidate, a Stepford candidate.

Bernie came along with no name recognition, no money, no political power, just a habit of speaking the truth -- and gave your created candidate a huge run for her money.

And she's still running scared, so now you want Bernie to drop out?

Nah. Go hug yourself.

[itsrobert]

11. Bernie lost

As far as wanting Bernie to drop out. That's his decision. As long as his campaign is churning money for Tad Devine's bank account, he's going to continue to run.

You are welcome to donate another $27 to Bernie (Tad's retirement fund).

[senz]

14. Those lies tell everything about you.

I'm beginning to feel sorry for you and your candidate.



We've got the real thing. Eat your heart out.

13. who are these people?

Iowa - prediction Clinton +4, result +0.3 (semi-open caucus)
New York - prediction Clinton +21.7, result Clinton +15.9 (closed primary)
Illinois - prediction Clinton +2.3, result +1.8 (open primary)
Kentucky - Clinton +5, result +0.5 (closed primary)

Florida - prediction Clinton +28.9, result +31.2 (closed primary)
Ohio - prediction Clinton +8, result +13.8 (semi-open primary)

From what I can see, there were no predictions that Sanders would win those states - although he did better than predicted in 4/6. Ohio is a bit of an outlier, as many indies voted for Kasich to thwart Trump.

16. Bernie supporters right here on DU.

Come on now. You knew who I was referring too. Hugs.

[floppyboo]

17. k - ya, cheerleaders do tend to do that! Go Bernie! hugs back

[uponit7771]

12. meaningless

[senz]

15. Doesn't matter who wins the GE?

Just as long as your candidate can maybe get the nom because "it's her turn" and who cares what happens after that?

[Todays_Illusion]

19. I know U.S. conservatives are a bit excentric, but I don't believe these polls showing Trump

doing this well.
