Clinton will continue her primary campaign but it's clear she is shifting toward the GE. Makes sense. The primary is over.

I've seen a lot of poor arguments for just who is trying to represent families in America. So far, I've seen a lot of nonsense arguments indicating human beings don't need progress. I guess we're all supposed to go run and hide.

I've put at LEAST 3 people on ignore today. Smells a little better in here.

There is no problem with accounting for who has won open primaries. I think Sanders has 6 and Clinton has 12, but the degrees of wins in those states stand to differ. It is worth seeing the rest of these races, being that they are majorly open.

so NCTraveler's claim means he did not vote in the 2016 primary.

he apparently thinks he was an Independent. http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1251&pid=1935147

for our Primary. She is also appearing in Louisville, KY today for a rally prior to our Primary on May 17. I posted about this earlier today.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/12511933534

I guess she's pivoting to the Primary again.

This is part of what I posted at the link above.

Considering the miners in Eastern KY aren't thrilled with her. She has to get the vote out in Jefferson Co. (Louisville) to make up for it. Pretty poor planning to have to come in at the last minute to try to win a closed primary.

She will continue to push her messages, regardless of GE or Primary

the one where she tells Republicans their values are hers too or the one where she seems interested in helping poor women and children?

we saw similar a few weeks back where in Harlem she was all about gun control and days later in rural PA all about upholding the 2nd amendment

... we aren't dealing with strategic thinkers.

Its same reason Sander's laying off staffers in states where the primary is over is a big TELL.

You only start doing that if you know you won't need those people in the GE.

If you take a job walking your neighbor's dog while he's on vacation, do you expect to continue to be paid for that job when he returns and can resume that duty himself?

No.

So when a state has already long since voted and resources are needed for states ahead, you generally lay people off when you can move them to other states.

Bernie doesn't have all that Wall Street cash to keep people in past-states on the payroll.

And I'd think you'd leave staff in the other states so they could organize gotv efforts in prep for the GE.

So your statement is disingenuous. It was a statement, wasn't it? Perhaps it was merely a question and you just lack knowledge on basic punctuation?

I really don't know

Thanks in advance for clearing that up.

"Somehow I don't think the article meant she was spending money for ads against Trump"

This is a part of the attack at all cost mentality. Why does a GE ad have to be against Trump in your opinion? I have never heard of such a thing.

That is the only possibility? lol.

I clearly displayed why it wasn't disingenuous. I get now that you are just looking to attack. Have fun.

As I said- your statement is disengenous /dishonest because the article is about HRC spending money against Sanders in the primary and your statement

Really clear why you see so few options. I appreciate you clearing that up.

Again, thanks for your time.

They didn't include hate or name calling. I give you that.

which is why she is airing ads in my state for our primary on May 17.

She picked up a lot of new donors so it won't
effect her warchest for November.

If Hillary would have won. IMHO team Hillary would have got their wish and Skinner would have called it.

Why in the world do you think he would have called it if he lost Indiana? That is just strange. Not only did he not call it after NY, he doubled down in his language about fighting against the will of the voters.

I'm not talking about Bernie. He's going to the convention

I don't want to see anyone kicked off this site. Calling it and some wild speculation about a purge are completely different things. They are not connected. One has to want to be kicked off DU in order to actually be kicked off DU.

A little secret for you. Outside of one "purge", they have all been individual self-fulfilling prophecies occurring at times when people find themselves in a desperate position. Purges, outside of one, have never come here from the top down. That is a fact.

I find the discussion of a purge to be laughable.

As for Sanders going to the convention, I'm excited about it. His endorsement will be epic. Your comment there leaves me wondering why you first tried to claim he would have dropped out if Clinton won Indiana. I'm really glad I don't have to be all over the place with my arguments like that. Can't be easy.

Hillary Supporter has been licking their chops at the prospect. What do you suppose all the "Call it, Skinner" threads were about?

I just don't think getting rid of people is a very democratic principle whether in a virtual reality or real time.

There were others in history (yes, before the internet) that participated and took glee in purges too, but far be it from me to mention any names.

she wants this Primary to be resounding win, not a begrudging win with a Bernie shrug.

After all, Bernie is setting the tone on this.

And she did campaign there, so she spent more than zero.

She didn't need to win Indiana in any case.

She did well in large diverse high population states.

That's where Bernie really lost it.
Maybe if he runs again in 2024 He'll
campaign in FL TX VA NC GA more.

If he could have just kept his losses in those states to low double digits
he'd still be in the race now.

Oh well. Live & learn.

All that matters now is the
scoreboard.

in a closed primary too. Ooops. Shouldn't she have a lock on all us REAL Democrats. Why does she even have to advertise here? I guess some of us Democrats are giving signals in her polling that we aren't walking in lock step with her.

If her goal is to minimize Sanders' influence at the convention, she should arrive with as many delegates as she can.

How humiliating for her to go after conservative Republicans.

Trump may be buttering up to Bernie, but it's NOT been reciprocated.

Nobody's noticing much, but they are voting. And it's open to Independents! He was down in the polls two weeks ago, and now he's up +6.
Go West Virginia!

Bernie favors coal...does the head of the greens in New York know this? Can never remember her name.

And, unlike with Hillary, he'll actually work his hardest to follow through to make that happen, rather than just killing off the manufacturing industry with 'free' trade agreements and leaving Americans in the poor house.

Pushing Carbon Tax and Fracking Ban, Sanders Lays Down Gauntlet on Climate
"I hope that Secretary Clinton would join me if we are serious about climate change, about imposing a tax on carbon on the fossil fuel industry and making massive investments in energy efficiency and sustainable energy. And by the way... I hope you’ll join me in ending fracking in the United States of America."

http://www.commondreams.org/news/2016/03/10/pushing-carbon-tax-and-fracking-ban-sanders-lays-down-gauntlet-climate

I don't recall Bernie mentioning any of that in WVA...hmm. I have way more respect for Hillary who told the truth.

in Eastern Kentucky are noticing.

But I've just been told on another thread about the WV vote, that there's no such thing as momentum from one race to the next. We'll see about that, won't we?

West Virginia coal miners and Eastern KY coal miners is why she is spending advertising dollars here this week. It's also why she is making two appearances in Louisville today and why Bill will be in Louisville on Thursday. They have to increase turnout in Jefferson Co. to counteract all the votes she's going to lose in other parts of the state. Bernie was here last week. There were 7,000 who attended the rally on a cold night. Bill was also here last week to talk with a smaller group. KY is a closed primary so for them to be here as much as they are and now spending advertising dollars I think they are worried. I truly hope they have something to worry about. I know everyone in my family will be voting for Bernie.

I'm certainly glad to hear it! I will sure be pulling for you all there! I'm glad Kentucky is making her spend time and dollars that she can't spend elsewhere too.

I think it would be significant if the people there swung the state for Sanders. It could be a nice one-two punch -- first West Virginia today, and then Kentucky!

I have a great affinity for the whole region, being from the original Morgans in WV, recent generations just across the border here in MD. My family worked more in lumber -- sawmills, paper manufacture in the old days, then furniture and building (all on a small scale). But I have lots of miner cousins throughout the mountain states.

Go Kentucky!

The ads are not focused on Trump in Kentucky.

with the zombie campaign...a couple of wins will help. Also, thanks to Bernie all media is going to Trump.

Well, there's the Brain Dead Statement of the Day

The primary is over and the GE has begun ...but we are stuck in zombie primary.

Newsflash: the media was all about Trump from the beginning. Pretending it's a new thing doesn't make it true.

If Hillary was the official nominee, she would get more coverage.

There's no way to know why her campaign is buying ads.

....that she IS buying air time she's scoffed.

The story keeps changing as long as it can criticize Hillary Clinton.

And people call the Clinton campaign "camp weathervane".

Hillary isn't even thinking about Bernie. This article counters that. How we changing anything?

....."an unnamed source", etc.

about what the ad will contain. Since most of the new ads are focused on Trump, the better speculation is that the ads will be anti-Trump.

Psssssssssssss, that's the sound of air leaving your premise.

Let's check back and see who's right. If Bernie wins tonight my odds will only get better.

I don't deny that Hillary desperately wants to more on to the GE but it's not happening just yet if at all.

I'll gladly stand behind my posts.

caption of the photo from that article:

Especially when these campaign events are generally planned somewhat in advance.

This is chess not checkers.

Like I said. Let's wait and see.

the GE, not a sign that Sanders has a chance.

Again I've already said she's desperately trying to move on.

As for Trump vs HRC, she crushes him in VA. VA's huge military population (Newport News, VA Beach, as well as Alexandria, Arlington, and all the other suburbs) are not supporting Trumpy.

Again, this is chess.

are not Trump ads. I've seen them.

I've seen two of them and the article supports what I saw with my own eyes. This IS the last week before our primary. The ads started this week.

I think Bernie would be able the HEAL the country, but he won't be brought to HEEL.

Hillary Clinton Resumes Buying Air Time for Ads WITH REPUBLICAN MONEY

What a waste.
