And, SC and Super Tuesday will do nothing to change her momentum.

Here's hoping Trump doesn't suck as President.

Try to be supportive of Sanders supporter, and still get push back.

This primary is a loooong way from over.

I will continue to work for my candidate, I'll expect you'll do the same.

Good luck.

But, I felt that his performance over the past week was poor.

It doesn't surprise me at all that Hillary won. Most Americans, including Democrats, just don't get it.

by the margin Bernie won in New Hampshire.

She is getting toppled off her pedestal. I can't wait for more battering.

Bernie will get pummeled in SC and the Super Tuesday states don't line up well for him.

The shit that has been pulled plus her stand on issues will suppress the left vote. I look for a huge increase in numbers for the Greens.

but it won't be that much better for the country or the planet.

There won't be generations reading about the first/only female president of the united states.

Caucuses lend themselves to shenanigans and are very vulnerable and exploited by big machines like hrc and co.

I still have hope that the people can beat the machine.

You were once up 40 in

Shocking.

Delegates will be fairly close.

If she does well into late March and builds an insurmountable lead, well then we are screwed. All of us

Hilary is barely winning in the delegate count so far, and Bernie has much more delegates to pick up yet.

This isn't anything to brag about for Hilary. She should have won in a landslide.

South Carolina will mess him up and then on to Super Tuesday where he only has game in the Northeast.
