To name just one.

The Clinton Foundation's shady dealings. Email server.

She has a lot of weaknesses for some reason Bernie decided not to use. Republicans will not be so kind.

FOX viewers/Republicans probably don't care so much about facts.

I'm (obviously) a Bernie supporter but I DO NOT want Hillary to look bad. There is a huge chance that she will indeed be the nominee and our last firewall against Trump. The whole Benghazi thing is just plain stupid. Just one of the many things that have been thrown at the Clintons and that have failed to stick because they're bushwa.

But those negatives are not something to be shrugged off.

The GOP's biggest apparent problem is that you can't sling baseless shit at someone for thirty or forty years and not have the public tune you out. Remember the boy who cried wolf?

Their biggest REAL problem is Hillary is ALSO capable of slinging shit with a smile on her face, and hers sticks. Hillary is one of the few people capable of standing Donald Trump down.

Now let's look at Bernie. I've seen a few videos of him that indicate he has very thin skin. Find the one where Hillary claimed at a debate that all the economists she'd talked to say Bernie's numbers don't work, and Bernie went off. What's going to happen when The Donald calls him a communist or a tax-and-spend liberal?

point of her campaign. It is going to go down from here.

She only won Mass. by 1 point.

She lost Vermont by 72, Colorado by 19 and Minnesota by 20. She "only" lost Oklahoma by 10 points.

I hope she enjoys tonight because it's going to get tougher from now on. She has won in most of the states that she will win judging from the results in Colorado, Minnesota and Oklahoma. Minnesota may be very progressive, but Colorado and Oklahoma? And winning by only one point in Massachusetts???

If she had run as a Republican, she could be a lot happier about her wins in the confederate states. But . . . . .

And I don't think Bernie should get out by the way. He's doing pretty well considering. I really don't think one has a big advantage over the other at this point. The GOP hasnt attacked Bernie yet because they don't think he'll be the nominee.

And you will go to Hell if you don't (if you are a woman) and you are sexist if you don't (if you are a man) and you are complacent if you don't (if you are a millennial) and your unicorn will never fly because no we can't.

It's almost as bad as the Palin logic (and I use the word loosely).
