This race is over save for the formalities.

You know what? That sort of asshole comment is worth the hide to respond to properly:



Try not to injure yourself lurching for the alert button, fuckwit.

The larger the gap between Clinton and Sanders in the number of pledged delegates, the more difficult it will be for Sanders to catch up. At some point, given the polling, it will no longer be possible. Probably that won't happen tomorrow, but may well happen by the end of March.

Numbers are numbers. Once the delegate proportions are established, they will not change.

I'm not counting the superdelegates, but many others are. If you do that, Hillary already has a huge delegate lead. In fact, it is:
539 to 90 at this point if you add the unpledged delegates who have stated their preference to the pledged delegates.

It's not looking good for Sanders, I think, and will look worse on Wednesday morning.

sort of puts it into perspective

There's no getting around it. It's the complicated system we use. It's not going to be changed in 2016, so there it is.

if Hillary already has the delegates in the bag-the vote is really nothing more than a dog and pony show to make it appear legit

There's still a numerical chance for Sanders. The primaries will continue. I'll be watching the delegate count to see how it's all going.

In November, I'll vote for the Democratic nominee.

We'll see on Wednesday.

on Wednesday.

Every one of whom will go to the GOP candidate in November...

Has the obvious problem with the Hillary strategy sunk in yet?

will automatically vote for Hilary

Also, do you really think Bernie could turn Texas blue? I don't think he could, and I'm speaking as a former native, with lots of family still there.

Hillary, if nominated, isn't winning a single Texas elector in November. Hillary's path to the nomination leads, in significant part, through states she'll lose in the GE. This is a huge, huge issue.

Texas has a lot of Democrats who deserve to be represented in the primary process. Sorry if you don't think so.

a new state like California might help her in the long run. Blue collar Latinos are angry at the Clintons's over NAFTA, TPP and Hillary's part in the privatization of the national oil industry of Mexico while Sec. of State.

with Bernie Sanders' supporters, especially Susan Sarandon, over their shameful treatment of Dolores Huerta. Looking at today's Emerson polls, it's going to cost him 10-15 percentage points here. Look for everythinng south of San Abtonio to be solid Hillary..

Good strategy, Sandersians.

... for Hillary, her campaign, and her supporters I mean.

Bernie has been fighting his entire life, we need to keep standing with him, even after the election if he loses, he can get things done with all his supporters behind him.

Is the Great White North all aflutter over Hillary?
