Clinton 'Confident' She Will Win Democratic Nomination for US President

WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — US Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton said during an interview on Monday that she is confident she will win her party’s nomination for president.

The former secretary of state said that in the coming months she would do "everything" she can to "win in as many places as possible," when asked about the upcoming election in her home state of New York.

"I can remember how hard it was when my husband ran in 1992. I ran a really tough campaign against then Senator Obama. I ended up with slightly more votes, but he ended up with more delegates, so we have a system and I’m very confident that I will be the nominee, but I’m not taking anything or any place or anyone for granted," Clinton said.

for American voters, and we'll probably fail it.

Although we are desperately in need of fundamental changes, we're not really ready to make them.

You can't add together primary votes and caucus votes and then draw conclusions from the totals. It's classic mixing of apples and oranges. Why does she say such garbage?

Are you saying you will enjoy other people's experience of schadenfreude or are you saying you will experience schadenfreude yourself? By the way do you ever feel guilty at having schadenfreude?

I'd love to read the GBCW posts that will soon follow.

When I thought Bernie is a good man, I'd have felt guilty about it. Now? Not so much.
