Ohio Republicans will never ever vote for Clinton. Plan to win the General without Ohio kids, because it just is not going to happen!

Are going to change and vote for Sanders in the GE, but only if he wins in the Democratic Primary that they wouldn't vote for him in??

Most interesting logic.

The R's that don't want Trump ( as you know they all did not vote for Trump) will regard Hillary in the same manner as Trump. There are many reasons not to vote for her here. That is what I am talking about. There will be no crossover from the right to the left. In addition more people will vote in the fall.

It really doesn't matter. Smear my comments because it is clear that it is over. We are destined to live in a place where people like you feel it is fine to attack even though you don't understand the comment. Our country is full of people like this! Go figure! We now live in a TV reality show. Enjoy the world you made!

You make a sarcastic remark about me:

You are a genius!

and then accuse me of attacking you:

Smear my comments

I am used to it...That's how you and your associates roll...DemocratSinceBirth is no man or woman's pinata, whipping boy, or patsy.

Man up. And I explained the reality to you. That's OK. I apologize for my hash comment. You understand what is going to happen and it is all good. Seriously, I am sorry. I should have let the comment go. Best wishes to you.
