[cui bono]

1. Undoubtedly. n/t

[pacalo]

2. Hillary is not popular with independents...

& there are more independents than there are Democrats or Republicans.

Hillary does well in closed primary states or where there is low voter turnout.

[JDPriestly]

3. Excellent discussion. Very realistic about Hillary's problems if the candidate in November.

[Rebkeh]

4. Kicked and recommended nt

[Dont call me Shirley]

5. YES!

[zentrum]

6. It's true. The blind

…..ambition fo HRC and DWS puts us all in jeopardy.

[pnwmom]

7. This is a moot point. Sanders cannot get the 84% of remaining pledged

and unpledged delegates he would need to get the nomination.

8. K&R. McChesney's analysis is excellent. McChesney's New Book, 'PEOPLE GET READY!'

Thanks for the thread, KoKo.

11. Sanders is the better candidate...

Period.

[George II]

12. Is that the criteria that Democrats should use to choose their candidate? I'd be willing to bet....

.....that Taylor Swift would beat Trump soundly. Should she be our candidate?

[itsrobert]

14. She doesn't deserve it. Give it to Beyonce

Ha ha.

[Overseas]

13. K&R. Well said.

[Amimnoch]

15. I'll eat my shoes if one person who is supporting this notion in this thread

Can point out their own post from the first half of this primary season when Clinton was way ahead in the GE polls calling for Sanders to drop out as a result of the polling..

[Jack Rabbit]

16. K/R

We Sandernistas, even those of us able to hold our noses hard enough to vote for Mrs. Clinton, will not give up until neoliberalism is buried with a stake through its heart.

17. It Is Friday afterall!

And that's something to drink to! Cheers.
