Dear Skinner- a plea for the remainder of the primary season [View all]

Now that it is apparent that Hillary Clinton will be our nominee I implore you to put a stop to the "she can't win" posts. If I have to read such aberrant nonsense I can go Discussionist, The Cave, Freak Republic, and the site which shall not be mentioned.

Thank you in advance.

ON EDIT-As if it is needed I am not calling for an end to discussion; just an end to the inane "Trump will beat her" posts!
