So multiple polls show Bernie tied or beating Hillary across the country.

Got it.

But the argument from Team Hill we hear most often is, frankly, specious and hollow. She loses to Cruz, Trump, and Kasich. Bernie beats them all. And then there is this:

Where Trump is viewed favorably by 34.5 percent of the likely voters, Cruz is viewed favorably by only 22.3 percent. Trump’s fav-unfav rating of negative 26.1 looks positively sunny compared to Ted Cruz’s rating of negative 48.0.


She loses to those bozos? With such bad negatives? Oh, right. Not only does she share many policy positions with the GOP, she shares in the same net negative ratings.

Tell me again why she is inevitable?

We won the last quarter!
We should win the whole game!
Delegates and votes, bro. Basic math. We don't add up states and even so she's ahead.

Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, Texas, Arkansas, Tennessee...

Meanwhile, Bernie has won several states that ALWAYS vote Democratic, including Hawaii, Washington, Minnesota and Vermont. And exit polls indicate he actually won in Massachusetts.

Doesn't mean you're winning. She lost the last 7. She's lost 8 out of 9. That's not a winning streak.

You guys crack me up.

Come back and I'll bite your leg off!


I know lets make it about who has whiter hair!!

Or maybe who has larger rallies?

Or I know, whose supported can be loudest and rudest!!

But someone has to change the rules so Bernie wins because he's pure and righteous and she is a criminal. Do I have that right?


Lol ha ha.

So round and round we go.

Meanwhile Clinton is winning handily by votes and delegates and will be the nominee.

Just some hell-bound slut lusting after racist and sexist Berniebros, a keyboard warrior who clicks online polls and expects free stuff and rides ponies while asking for unicorns or vice versa.

Why would I not sing the praise of St Hillary of Walmart, our blessed lady of inevitability, and the affluent fruit of her labors? After all, what is wrong with DADT, DOMA, NAFTA, TPP, TTIP, for-profit prisons, remarks about superpredators, praise for Nancy Reagan's "AIDS activism"? Why should I not convert to the cuase of someone who opposed gay rights as recently as 2013? Surely, I should bow before the experience of someone who voted to let King George turn Iraq into ISIS strongholds, and then did it again in Libya, in direct violation of Obama's explicit order to NOT consult Blumenthal? Why would I not be in awe of a candidate who was bought and paid for by Goldman Sachs, and takes SEVENTY DAYS to release a transcript, while claiming to be "transparent"?

Yes, I'm just some follish whippersnapper who should shut up and listen to the grown-ups. Because that is how it was in the 20th century. And as long as 'experienced" people refuse to believe the 20th century is over, we can party on like it's 1999!

Pity, though. You used some larger words, and hillarians have serious trouble processing those.

delegate race, that will not be right. If Bernie wins the vote and delegate contest and they hand the nomination to Hillary, I will be extremely pissed. If the reverse happens, I am sure that Hillary supporters will feel the same way.

She also leads Trump and Cruz in every poll I have seen. Here are the charts from HuffPost/Pollster..





Only Kasich does better but the only way he gets the nomination would be through some GOP shenanigans which would then alienate Trump and Cruz voters so she will win then anyway.

Hope that clears things up for you.
