Thread after thread insisting HRC is going to be the nominee and everyone should just accept it... [View all] Ken Burch Sep 2015 OP

Oh, this happens every election. They say once the nominee is elected then we have no choice liberal_at_heart Sep 2015 #1

Well, once the nomination comes in, two things need to happen... Ken Burch Sep 2015 #5

That may work for party loyalists. Some of us have left the party. I voted Democrat for liberal_at_heart Sep 2015 #7

Then just keep working hard for Bernie now. Ken Burch Sep 2015 #12

Oddly enough some of them are the same ones who supported Obama against Hillary Fumesucker Sep 2015 #8

It is curious isn't it? I was going to say maybe they assume the candidate with the most money liberal_at_heart Sep 2015 #9

Well, she most likely will be. cheapdate Sep 2015 #6

If so, there's no need to keep preemptively proclaiming it, before anyone has voted. Ken Burch Sep 2015 #10

Funny how they all seem to turn up at the same time, innit? Warren DeMontague Sep 2015 #13

I have to get behind a candidate on economic and foreign policy issues, delrem Sep 2015 #14

I am of the opinion that HRC and her supporters are in a bubble right now just like the YabaDabaNoDinoNo Sep 2015 #16

Are you arguing against the math, then? Hardly seems like a worthwhile position to take. randome Sep 2015 #17

There's a difference between "she's the projected winner" and jeff47 Sep 2015 #19

Not if you extend the trend lines. That would indicate Hillary could be down near 20% by early 2016. reformist2 Sep 2015 #21

Actually, all we have now are some polls. They could be right, they could be wrong. Ken Burch Sep 2015 #22

Numbers don't lie. Not when they are talking about jwirr Sep 2015 #40

I've mostly seen threads stating that Sanders will be the nominee. Metric System Sep 2015 #18

There's a few of those(most Sanders supporters don't actually feel that overconfident, btw). Ken Burch Sep 2015 #23

You have GOT to be fuckin' kidding me! NanceGreggs Sep 2015 #34

Inevitability is really the only thing she's got going on... and even that not so much. reformist2 Sep 2015 #20

Many frontrunners have started out inevitable and ended up...evitable. Ken Burch Sep 2015 #24

I think her supporters don't see how counterproductive it is either. Chan790 Sep 2015 #25

Bernie will not be the DNC nominee. Thinkingabout Sep 2015 #27

The Democratic nominee, not "the DNC nominee". Ken Burch Sep 2015 #28

Bernie will not be the Deocratic nominee, I know very well the DNC nominee is seleced by delegates Thinkingabout Sep 2015 #36

This is part of a larger trend Aerows Sep 2015 #29
