Can I just say how excited I am? Tonight should be our night!

I'll be the first to admit I'm emotionally invested and, for better or worse, have been really shocked and hurt by the nastiness of Bernie supporters, and now him feeding them. I identify somewhat with Hillary and admire her toughness and incredible intelligence and resilience in the face of the most stunning barrage of unwarranted attacks I've ever seen in a political race. And victory would be so sweet.

So I for one am ready to move that woman into the White House!

I also expect a double digit win in KY the week after, and I'm starting to hope, OR, too!

I know that the Sanders people are circle JERKING about "wrapping up the nomination" in CA, but I expect that Back Bench Bernie will be mathematically DONE before then!

PEACE!

if Hillary only wins by 9 points its a win for Bernie-however if it's 10% it's all over for Bernie. Their need to prop up Bernie to make it look like a horserace so their ratings and ad revenue stay up is annoying. However, I am glued to the TV tonight!! C'mon New York- put Bernie out of his misery!

They will spin it his way, since he's so far gone already!

Irony = Young Bernie Supporters' parents are paying most of their young adults' bills,
by working for corporations that same young folks hate. Guess that's the circle of life?

From the beginning, she describes that after a stinging loss to Obama, she was committed to making sure he was elected President. They both have so much respect for each other, and it really helped unite the Party. Most of what I read about her, and surprisingly here most of all...(!) is so grossly distorted as to be despicable.

I'm so done with Bernie, though. He has turned into a completely selfish ego. We'll see if he's even capable of being as decent as Hillary and Obama were to one another. I can't even say much more because of alert police. But I agree that it has been nasty and sadly totally unnecessary to be so alienating. But that's obviously how they've wanted it, so...

Yes, Go Hillary! I'm With Her!
