Hillary Clinton
Related: About this forumJuly can't get here soon enough
Hillary has won this. I know some don't like to count the chickens but we all can agree that unless a meteor strikes and turns her into a mutant, she will be our nominee.
I know that we are all so sick and tired of the constant silliness in GD-P and on this site in general.
I know that we need to ignore the silliness and focus on the GE.
But, my gods. The denial is maddening.
I had a GD-P poster respond to a post with this head spinning article that actually tries to make the case that, indeed, Bernie is winning.

I just can't respond anymore. It's futile.
Carry on and let's get her to July. My patience has run thin.

(1,968 posts)No matter how I play with the remaining contests, there are still only four more caucuses. Even stunning wins in each don't pull it out for him without good wins in all the other states (or a highly improbable strong win in California).
Nor do I see NY or PA performing as weakly as the targets on 538 suggest. PA went 55-45 Clinton last time against friggin' Obama. Clinton was a popular Senator in NY.
QED. MD is also Clinton's, which just seals the lead that night, and that night's the biggest contest until California.

(1,968 posts)I'm online friends with a (very nice, very realistic) Bernie supporter who, as of last night, said that there's no decent path remaining for Bernie.
She'll vote for Clinton and she's fairly happy with that, she just strongly preferred Bernie. We commiserated; I felt bad when Clinton lost in 2008, although I was completely fine with Obama.
It's the diaries (mostly I see them on DKos as I avoid GD and GD-P here) with completely magical unicorn numbers that annoy me.

(24,378 posts)Its premise is that the votes of people who wait until election day (and who may or may not get to the polls) are a better indicator of which candidate is preferred when compared to the votes of this who take advantage of early voting.
Now I've heard everything.
