Post positive HRC stuff and ignore negative HRC stuff.

Oh, and leaving Bernie alone.


That's three.

At one time the narrative favored Bernie and the press made the race appear more competitive than it ever really was. I posted in another thread that historians will look back to Super Tuesday as when the race was decided just as historians look at the Battle of Gettysburg as when the Civil War was decided.

I think you underestimate Bernies supporters.

They've managed to invent a whole new kind of math
so as to avoid being discouraged by the reality of actual math.

So far every overwhelming primary defeat has only convinced them that Bernie is
actually winning and has the most delegates and the most votes.

Hillary supporters trying to discourage Sanders voters from voting and the polls mean nothing . They typically point to Michigan.
But when Bernie supporters post polls in Bernie's favor it is just posting facts about his chances to win the election.

I am watching Ashleigh Banfield's show.


It's actually the second time the reporter cited strong support for Hillary in the precinct he's assigned to. The first time he didn't use a number.

Bernie might make that up a bit in the countryside but it looks like a very big win for Hillary tonight.
