(57,936 posts)In fact, no state on the West Coast has voted yet.
But I am shocked that Hillary took the majority of votes in Ohio.
I do not think she can win in November against Trump.
I sincerely hope that I am wrong. She is a very, very weak candidate.
She just does not have the kind of personality that she needs to win the presidency in my opinion.
It's like singing. Just having a great voice is almost unimportant although you need that to have a singing career.
What matters is whether you can perform, whether you can focus and be yourself in front of an audience, whether you can project sincerity and feeling to others. It took me a couple of decades to learn that reality.
Hillary has never learned it and never will. She just can't be herself in frong of an audience.
Unfortunately, and I hate to admit this, Trump can. He is a horrible person, but he is fully at ease in front of an audience.
Bernie is just plain so focused on the moral path in each word he utters that he too is fully himself in front of an audience.
Democrats shooting ourselves in our feet once again. It is very sad.
We still ahve the hope of the West Coast, and I haven't heard how many delegates Bernie won tonight, but I have a very sad feeling.
