Despite the narrative coming out of Nevada that it may be "over" for Bernie, he must absolutely stay in the race.

Regardless of whether you support Hillary or Bernie, I think all of us here would prefer the Dem nominee to the Republican. We must have a Plan B in case either one of them fails. In my mind, the biggest risk is that Hillary - who is already will running into questions of trustworthiness - could be indicted by the FBI during the heat of the campaign. My understanding is that there are 150 FBI agents investigating her Secretary of State activities, including possibly Clinton Foundation corruption improprieties. The investigation has been going on for months so it's quite possible that there is something of substance there. This issue will not go away overnight. Whether or not it's a "vast right-wing conspiracy", the controversy and distraction an indictment or frankly any dragged out discussions of FBI investigations would cause would undoubtedly crater any chances of winning the general election.

So while we focus on the horse race and the primary/caucus results, there might be something way more serious. Does anyone here have any thoughts?

We must have a backup plan and thus it is imperative that the primaries remain a two-candidate race for as long as possible.

I know. I lurked for years.

welcome to D,U

and Hillary will lose to all of them.

She can't win against the Republicans. With the full weight of the establishment behind her and some nasty Rovian-type campaigning, she is not even winning the most votes in the Democratic primary. People are rejecting the SOS this time on both sides of the aisle. She may win the nomination but she will be blown away in the general election.
