In reply to the discussion: Warren Support Shifting to Bernie Sanders, Sanders Not Just About Influencing Issues [View all]brooklynite
(94,529 posts)64. and you will...because I live in the real world
I support close to 50 candidates every year in big dollar amounts, so it's not in my interest to have illusions about the prospects of my candidates. I crunch a lot of data on each one, and monitor any changes, so IF Hillary Clinton starts to fall, I'll be aware of it (FYI - I switched from Clinton to Obama in 2008 after Super Tuesday when I could no longer see a path to victory). One thing I WON'T be doing is blaming "the MSM" or "the Party Bosses" if my candidate loses; I trust you'll do the same.
