Fellow Hillary Supporters... OK...No matter who wins Indiana today....

Regardless of whether Hillary pulls out a win or if Sanders wins (and it looks like he might), I know that Hillary will ultimately be the Democratic nominee. She is going to have the most pledged and super delegates going into the convention. What I am really concerned about is that after tonight's big win for Trump, Cruz is going to be basically out of the race so Trump is going to turn all his guns on Hillary. Hillary can take it and give it right back to him, but Sanders is still going to be HELPING Trump spread the B******T about Hillary. So, because Sanders refuses to get out the race AND continues to go negative about Hillary AND the Democratic Party, he will be Trump's little Hillary-hating helper. If Sanders was a loyal Dem, I wouldn't be worried. But he is NOT loyal to the party at all. I actually hope that Cruz stays in the race so Trump has to deal with that, just like Hillary has to deal with Sanders. Does that make sense?

Or Hillary voters assuming she has the nomination locked up and so voting against Trump or Cruz?

until he's yanked off the stage.

At this point, he's nothing more than a Trump enabler.

4. Again, I totally understand this argument, but it doesn't matter to the Corporate Media.

Any time Sanders "wins" a state, he controls the narrative and that's not good because the Corporate Media changes the narrative in his favor.

I don't want him to win shit.

If it is true that he beats Trump by a larger margin than Hillary, it is totally because he has had ZERO negative coverage. When HRC is being attacked from all sides, of course her negatives will be sky high! And of course that hurts her. Why people aren't pointing this out drives me up the fucking wall!!

I would have been ecstatic if Hillary won a open primary state with the demographic of Indiana, but I'm not surprised she isn't. I'm just tired of the bullshit. I know she's the nominee.

The sooner Sanders steps out of the way, the less chance there is for Trump to make mischief.

since the delegates split for this. The rest of the states looks pretty good for her since they are mostly rural but we will hear the barging from the Sander's supporters like this is a turn around.

We can no longer afford to humor the fringe. There's too much at stake for the nation and for the damned planet with a certified nutjob at the top of the R ticket.

13. There are some things that one should
Tue May 3, 2016, 09:11 PM

consider for this state.

1. Many, many gun nuts, and ALL the R candidates have been pounding her on that.
2. Sanders has been pounding her for ALL the trade agreements, even though she only ever voted on one, and was only ABLE to vote on one.

But, that's okay, the margin is not big enough for it to make a damn bit of difference to the overall campaign and that she's GOT this!
