Hillary Clinton

Walk away

What I learned from Cable News Today:

1) Hillary must win by double digits or it is a win for Bernie.

2) If Bernie loses by double digits but increases his percentage among Blacks, it is a win for Bernie

3) If Bernie loses by 50% but increases his percentage among Hispanics, it is a win for Bernie

4) If Bernie loses by 75% but a couple of women over 50 yrs old vote for him, it is a win for Bernie.

They're afraid that if they admit the race is over, people will stop watching.

the Hudson Valley! I love the Hudson Valley but it is a place that the Old NYC Hippies with a few bucks, went to retire. It's the tie die, goat cheese, wine drinking capitol of New York State.

Why would it be a game changer for Bernie to win there??? There is a Bernie behind every bush up there!

On TV ads.

The networks are raking in the $ from those $27 donations. The more candidates in the race, the more ad $ AND the ability to raise the ad rates due to demand.
