Hillary/Bernie H +14%; New polls with good news for Hillary against Bernie and Trump

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2016/06/01/1533155/-National-Q-Hillary-Bernie-14-New-polls-with-good-news-for-Hillary-against-Bernie-and-Trump

Recent polls, including today, show good news for Hillary against both Bernie and “The Donald”.

Let’s look at it from a couple perspectives here:
1. Bernie vs. Hillary

It is quite obvious that there is no realistic way for Bernie to catch Hillary when it comes to winning the most pledged delegates, and on top of that the final 9 contests don’t harbor a lot of “feel good” prospects for Bernie with CA, NJ, NM, VI, PR and DC likely going to Hillary while Bernie having to make do with consolation prizes MT, ND and SD.

Bernie was going to argue to Super Delegates that the will of the voters should be overturned and Super Delegates should switch to him and make him the nominee instead based on a few points, prominent among them that Bernie was steadily rising in national polls and was getting close to being the preferred candidate for Democrats nationally. That narrative has taken some very big hits and is no longer a viable argument, in fact, the opposite is true. Bernie’s national numbers are falling apart, Hillary is rising strongly.
6-1-2016 Quinnipiac poll: Hillary 53% to 39%

The bottom looks to be falling out from underneath Bernie in national polling. Quinnipiac, QUINNIPIAC, the most Hillary-skeptical poll of them all (outside of GOP shill Rasmussen), now shows Hillary leading Bernie nationally by 14%.

Combined with the most recent ABC/WaPo poll, which also shows a 14% race, and the double-digit lead Hillary now shows over Bernie in the aggegates of both RealClearPolitics and Pollster.com, and there goes Bernie’s argument on national polls, or any kind of national poll tightening. Instead, the bottom is falling out from under Bernie when it comes to national
polling.

He has no firm footing anywhere but in his mind, and that is a delusion.

I am not sure what will upset them more, when Hillary becomes the nominee, or when they clear Hillary

This is just insane what is going on at a supposedly Democratic site

The Benghazi one finally fizzled, so all they have left is the hoped for e-mail indictment. Bernie can't win. The fact that former Sec. of States and many other governors and people in high offices regularly use personal e-mails, or in some cases have erased them all seems to not matter much--only that it might stop Hillary. It won't. She will never face an indictment for this. It is a witch-hunt.
