You cannot expect to win them all in a close race.

Because of the way numbers/degrees of freedom work in a two horse race, the difference really amounts to half the percent reported.

I don't have a problem with being within a 2-3 percent swing in Nevada, and I'd LOVE SC to be within 2-3 percent swing.

Why sweat a narrow loss? It is not winner take all.

Congrats to Clinton supporters in NV on their narrow win. We'll see you again in SC and across the country in March.

Hilary should have won in a landslide.

If the best Hilary can do it tie or win by 2% and Bernie wins like NH in a few other states. You know what that means.

We -ARE- at the -END- of the reign of the New Dems.

I have no regrets about this.

None at all.
