To be consistent, at a glance, the demographics favor Sanders

here both in sex (too many men, not enough women) and age(too much youth, not enough aged) and therefore, Clinton's lead in NV is likely significantly larger.

I expect Sanders would tighten it up but it's probably not nearly as tight as this poll suggests.

So on top of the 55,000 pages of emails they have

Have they discovered (ignore Giuliani allegations for the moment)
http://www.examiner.com/article/rudy-giuliana-convinced-hillary-clinton-will-be-indicted
Furthermore, as the former mayor reminded his audience, Clinton "... destroyed 34,000 emails. That's evidence of a guilty knowledge, the destruction is evidence of guilty knowledge, evidentiary principle that you can use against someone when they're in a situation where who knows what's on those 34,000 e-mails." Giuliani said that he would have argued, as a prosecutor that in itself is evidence of a guilty knowledge.

'34,000 destroyed emails' ?

That's pretty major because it would probably take more than 55,000 pages to print those. Which means, at the current pace they've been on that this will probably take them until next November or beyond to get through them all. Hillary will have to enjoy monthly releases of her emails that will stir more controversy until the election (if she lasts that long).

If this tidbit of news is true, this is a pretty major development against her chances because she can't clear herself before the election and bears some responsibility because she had them deleted.

Hillary's lying or deception about Sanders positions would also upset her

particularly when Hillary and Bill have made as much money off Wall Street as (nearly?) any politician in history.

Bankruptcy
(major issue for Elizabeth Warren between 1995-2005)
Hillary stuck Elizabeth in the back on the bankruptcy bill years ago - Senator Clinton selling out to Wall Street



Bernie voted against the bankruptcy bill

Elizabeth Warren’s Challenge to Hillary Clinton
http://www.newyorker.com/news/john-cassidy/elizabeth-warrens-challenge-to-hillary-clinton
“Let’s get real. Dodd-Frank did not end too-big-to-fail,” she (Warren) noted, correctly. What was needed was to “end it once and for all.”

“How?” she asked. “By breaking up the big banks—just break them up.”

Warren and Clinton are not on the same page for major policies important to Warren.

I'm just going to copy that quote a third time for emphasis

“A new presidential election is upon us. ... Anyone who shrugs and claims it is too hard has crawled into bed with the billionaires who want to run this country like some private club. All of us were sent here to do our best to make government work, not just for those at the top, but to make government work for all the people. It’s time we start acting like it,” Senator Warren said.


How could she say that and endorse "pragmatic" Hillary?

If Elizabeth endorses Bernie, it would be like Ted Kennedy endorsing Barack. It would send shock waves through the media and public making folks sit up and realize what many here already know: Bernie is a legitimate candidate.

You'd think she'd learn. She stooped to this crap against Obama in 2008.

I have absolutely no issue with the article assuming it's facts are straight

like many seem to be when it comes to the Clinton foundation. I've cross checked a few myself.

I arrived at a similar question "With Hillary anticipating running for President, this looks bad or really bad. Why would they do this?" It wasn't a one time thing. They did it again and again.

Bernie probably won't go deep down this road. But we all know what Karl Rove is going to do with it in the general election. Hillary's campaign claims Bernie hasn't been vetted. Wait until the fireworks go off when stuff like this starts to get vetted in the general.

Look on her hands

Paper cuts from depositing big stacks of new cash from Wall Street all these years

Here's the deadly problem:

New study finds 45,000 deaths annually linked to lack of health coverage
http://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2009/09/new-study-finds-45000-deaths-annually-linked-to-lack-of-health-coverage/

That's roughly (very roughly) 0.1% death rate. For 29,000,000, that's 29,000 dying in 2016. If Hillary gets in for 8 years, that's another 232,000 dead. 664,000 using that % died between 2001 and 2015. If we stay on this path, we're flirting with hitting 1,000,000 American dead near the end of 8 years of Hilary - all because they couldn't have healthcare.

That's a lot of people. Even if one wants to bicker over the death rate their study found and cut it in half, 500,000 Americans dead is a staggering number.

Our current pace is ten 9/11s per year because people like Hillary can't muster the will to take these jackasses on that allow these people to die on our watch.

It is a hideous disgrace!!! Bernie is right. Hillary is wrong. It needs to be stopped!
