In the discussion thread: Clinton's opposition to the TPP is insulting [View all]

Tue Dec 8, 2015, 12:09 PM

135. I'll bookmark this post for reading in March.

Sorry, but based on an overwhelming lead in both the polls and committed superdelegates.... its basically over. Senator Sanders had a nice run, but he never got the level of mainstream support he will need. And barring something along the lines of a catastrophic event, there's nothing on the horizon that will change that calculus.
