I'm not sure who we're doing to run in 2024 but we might want to get our primaries over earlier.

5. The "Process", as the pundits love to call it, is ruinously and ridiculously convoluted.

Inhuman demands are made on all contenders.

The whole system needs a massive overhaul.

It has become a never-ending nightmare. It is so convoluted I do not see how it helps educate any newbies as to how the so-called democratic process is supposed to work. It is past time our nomination process and other political campaigns were more substantive than fodder for 24/7 political reality theater on the media. The BS (the fact that this is also someone's initials is a bonus here) is so thick that it poses a real mental health hazard.

She'll do well.

I'm ready for the revolutionaries to go away but I don't
expect that to happen just yet.
I think they will start to vacate DU pretty soon tho.

Doesnt Bernie need to win the rest of the big states by 56%.
He's done.

9. NJ primary, here I come!

I checked my registration (just to be safe, you know) recently and requested my mail-in ballot. I got confirmation yesterday that I am registered and am eligible for the Democratic Primary!

Although this vote is just a repeat of how I voted in the 2008 primary, I still can't wait!

6. I have been thinking about going into Hillary's victory party.

It's so fantastic to finally come to an end of Bernie's "winning streak". We all knew it was going to happen and I was prepared for Bernie's Bullies to take over the small caucus states but it was a depressing time. Now we are back on track and still killing Sander's with Delegates and Votes! And today is the New York Primary!!!

Today Hillary will win the Empire State. The party has just started!

8. I'm excited, both for the NY primary and the end of the media being able to spin Bernie.

Although I know for sure that this doesn't end the narrative of Sanders "still having a small chance, somehow!"

I think the media knows that once Sanders is over, they're back to covering Trump, and he's no longer the free-ratings juggernaut that he was before he opened his mouth and removed all doubt about what a fool he is.

... have been given for the Michigan and Wisconsin polls, I can't trust them completely. Bernie has too often beaten the polls. I'll be glad when California is over!!!
