2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumAn excellent comment from my friend AdLib
Today is too weighted towards the South which is part of how things are rigged. How many of these states would ever go to a Dem in a General Election? Texas? Georgia? Arkansas? None of them. So Hillary winning them means nothing about how she would do in a GE. Bernie is actually winning in the blue states, Hillary is winning red states that will never go for her if she wins the nom.
Bernie should indeed stay in this till the end. I dont think that Hillary will be indicted over anything but he also shouldnt assume that nothing may come up to cause an issue for her.
Cruz has won Texas which is great, hell stay in to beat up Trump and even though hes losing everywhere again, I think Rubio stays in. Kasich is in as well, hoping there will be a brokered convention but the core Repubs would abandon the GOP if he became the nom.
It sure loooks like the GOP is headed for self-destruction now. Drumpf is completing his hostile takeover of the GOP and it will tear itself apart because of that.

This is something we have to think about as we watch these primaries that are taking place in RED STATES.

(1,508 posts)It has to do with the general election. I don't believe Oklahoma will go for a democrat in the general election.

(1,508 posts)he just isn't winning. Whether it is rigged or not makes no difference at this point. We are just in the primaries and I am sure if ther are problems with the vote count, my candidate will expose that. Anything else?
