(Hillary Group) What is your favorite

excuse for why Hillary is leading right now?

I think I'll have to go with "Harry Reid cheated by making sure that culinary workers had time to caucus in Nevada," but I'm not sure. So many good choices.

I think I will go with yours. I may change my mind after Hillary wins SC because I know the excuses will be different.

is that minorities just don't know what's good for themselves. Nothing like a little "great white hope" sentiment to brighten the day.

Nothing makes my day like watching somebody whitesplain, mansplain, or straightsplain why their candidate is best.

...from Clinton supporters. Other than that, not a single taker.

I'll go with playing the race card with a dash of the gender card.

For any lurking alerters and possible jurors, I grew up in NYC with a strong, positive Jewish influence in my life, and my God parents were Jewish.

FLOTUS, US Senator from a really big state, US SOS, all high profile. Pretty simple answer.

I will vote for Bernie in the primary, but will gladly support Hillary if she gets the nod.

We have two pretty damned good candidates.
