...that this race has been anything but above the board?
I constantly hear from them (even HRH herself said it), the only thing they seem to care about: "She's got a huge lead!"
Have any of them ever questioned if that lead is fully legitimate? Or if it should even matter?

(13,877 posts)She's not yet the winner, so maybe have to alter that to "the frontrunner".
It's not over until it's over. Lots can happen between now and November. If she didn't have current legal and ethical problems hanging over her head, I'd be more convinced that she's likely to win. But those issues are a game changer, depending on what happens between now and then.

(812 posts)And it's a little frustrating that they don't give totals.
But help me connect the dots. The question is about their honesty and/or insight, not so much their enthusiasm.

(15,730 posts)Or that she does not have that many supporters in the general public. She will probably win because the people that support her control the convention and the primary process. But then the same people did the same thing with Hubert Humphrey and Al Gore. Gore had more public support than Humphrey did, but not by much. When the primaries are manipulated by such a large amount to get a candidate nominated because the power people want that person is assuming a lot. It assumes that everyone will march lock step to the ballots. It also assumes that the nominee has a lot of support from the public, which they may not.
I do not think HRC has that much real support, Trump does, look at his turnout. Those people will vote for him. We do not know about the Democratic primaries though since there has been so many weird things going on. It looks like she has so many real supporters, but none that will contribute.
