What we're seeing is that Hillary Clinton is a Regional candidate, Bernie Sanders is a NATIONAL

Just heard it from Jeff Weaver right fucking now.

Yes... sure looks like it. She does well in that region, but doesn't once she gets out of it.

It's an indication of how well we can do, Sanders supporters! We found this out in Minnesota already, Colorado, and today with RECORD TURN OUTS... Michigan.

If it continues this way, we'll have Bernie Sanders all the way to the convention and as the Democratic nominee.

That's how regions work.

The problem is that they both seem "regional" at this point. And turnout is down in most of the contests.

I mean, we DID have record turn outs, so I may as well ask the next question!

Not sure who she was talking about but who does this fit?

Black folks in the north vote differently than black folks in the south. You can't pander to them. You've got to have a strong economic message.

I really don't get it. Many of these states rank at the VERY bottom compared to the rest of the nation, why wouldn't they want to hear a strong economic message?!

Well, she was right.... Somebody with the bullhorn was talking, so they probably didn't get the message at the Clinton camp.
