If---and I say if---Bernie loses New Hampshire....

will Sanders supporters be worried?

Some may pop in this thread and ask the same to Hillary supporters.

I think it's a little bit different---don't you.

I don't vote until June 13,2016, and it will be over by that time, one way or another. California State Primaries are critical, because we need to keep Democrats in charge of the state and as members of the Senate and the Congress.

I wont throw in the towel but I think a loss there will indicate that as good a case as his is, he was not completely successful in making it.

More seriously, I have never thought that Bernie was a sure thing.

In fact, I was a default HRC supporter when he first came around because I didn't see any leadership ability -- particularly of the type that inspires followship. And then I started to see it happen and I decided to support someone who offered a viable alternative to the status quo.

Sure, we'll probably know by NH and IA what the future will be, Super Tuesday for sure. But its also possible that the gap continues to narrow over the long run, maybe with HRC still in the lead at that time. If that happens, I will still support Bernie's campaign.

Saw one poll where she's retaken the lead in NH. I'm thinking if he can't pick up NH---it's going to be difficult fro there out.

follow my heart. If it gets worse, then I suppose I won't have to waste any of my time working to get her elected. I simply CAN NOT DO the "talking out of both sides of my mouth" ever again!

I'll be FORCED to vote for her, but I WILL N OT campaign for her! I simply CAN NOT!!
