Let's divide the country into Clinton USA and Obama USA.
Since clearly the USA wants a democrat in the white house and there is no candidate that can get the full 2,025 delegates needed to win the nomination without the controversial super delegates let's divide the country into Clinton USA and Obama USA. All those who voted for Obama moves to states that he won and all those that voted for Clinton will move to states that she won:

In Clinton USA people will see there children get married and see grandchildren graduate from college because if you need open heart surgery or an mri you will have insurance to cover it because EVERYONE will have health care. In Obama USA 15 MILLION people will be without health care and they will debate themselves should i pay my mortgage this month or get that mri. Should i move in with my grown-up children to save money to get that open heart surgery or stay in my home of 25 years and take a chance.

In Clinton USA teachers will teach students how to think on their feet and how to be creative and have them read books like "moby dick", "to kill a mockingbird", "lonesome dove" and "the great gatsby". There will be more teachers, because they will enjoy talking about literature, science, history and math and talk about the relevance of theses subjects in our world. In Obama USA teachers will continue to leave their jobs or stay in their jobs and be unhappy because they are still teaching to the "test". Students will learn how take a "test", instead of gaining knowledge to make them well rounded individuals. NO Child Left Behind will still be mandatory in schools so standardized tests will still be the norm.

In Clinton USA there will be a quick response to natural disasters like hurricanes, earthquakes, wildfires or tornadoes. People will be back on their feet, new homes will go up in neighborhoods that were wiped out by a tornado. Insurance companies will pay for homes destroyed by natural disasters instead of fighting people's claims in court. Because of her vast knowledge of the working government Mrs. Clinton will coordinate FEMA, the national guard, local police and fire departments and thousands of volunteers to make people's houses homes again and rebuild entire communities. In Obama USA people will take longer to rebuild homes and communities because Obama will be listening to his advisers and going through a trial and error period before he gets it right and people are finally back to normal.

In Clinton USA people will buy gas that is affordable if they want gas. They can also drive cars fueled by ethanol or some other alternative fuel. Cars will get 55 miles to the gallon, there will be government programs to help low income people make their homes more energy efficient. There will be 5 million new jobs that help turn the country into a green efficient economy. In Obama USA the Dick Cheney energy plan which Obama voted for will be continued. Gas will go up to $4 a gallon, global warming will continue and it will effect the temperature of the ocean, hurricanes will be more powerful because of the warmer temperatures. And oil companies will continue to make record profits.

I think this is a good compromise. Forget super delegates, let's follow this plan. I live in Texas now, we vote March 4th. I hope Clinton wins Texas, if not, California here I come baby!!!!!

6. Seems to me after nearly eight years of a "moron "
running this country that people would just be happy that we will not only have a democratic president but a smart one for a change. This should be our time to unite not divide any longer. Why can't we just support whoever the democratic candidate may be and move forward. It's all about change and
no matter what we will see change!!!
