Against any GOP candidate in the GE, Bernie destroys Hillary......

Bernie vs. Trump = Bernie +14.7
Bernie vs. Cruz = Bernie +11.8
Bernie vs. Kasich = Bernie +5.0


Hillary vs. Trump = Hillary +7.3
Hillary vs. Cruz = Hillary +3.3
Hillary vs. Kasich = Hillary LOSING by 7.5

Wow, Bernie has more than doubled Hillary numbers.

This is scare for the GE for Hillary.

Even though there are several polls showing HRC being beaten in the GE by all the republican front runners it doesn't matter. It is all about the history to be made by having a woman nominated for President of the United States, nothing else.

or stands for. They love her because she is tough. Sadly she is tough on those struggling among us. She supports fracking for Chevron and to hell with the water for the peons. She supports the TPP that will take our jobs and give Big Pharma power to raise prises. She supports tough drug laws and Prisons For Profits. She is not a friend of the 99%.

that specifically prefers Democrats voted, I did not know everybody voted yet.

This is good news! there are only Democrats in the country! independents and others don't get to vote at all in the General Election (let alone any of the states that have not yet voted in the primaries), and here I was thinking that only roughly over half of 29% of the country (and not even their full vote yet at that) voted Hillary

But she is now the leader! I suppose we can call her a President rather than a ruler even if Democracy was shit canned when I wasn't looking. She is now President.

Why was this not on the news? When did they cancel the rest of the primary states chance to vote and when did they cancel the general election for president? It didn't even make CNN let alone my local newspaper.

I guess we are a Monarchy or Dictatorship now and have no need of a Presidential election! Not only that, Hilary was installed as our new Ruler!

It happened so fast I am now speechless.

Bernie isn't going to get out of primary.
The gap is already much to large.

The GE isn't going to be his concern.

Hillary will win against any Republican.
Any Democrat would this year.

Not This Shit Again.

The only matchup that matters is the one that the voters decide based on their votes in the primary. If this argument hasn't held sway no matter how many times Bernie says it (and his more exuberant supporters parrot on the internet), it never will.

H can not win a GE. Only if she ran against a dead man would it even be possible.

She was tough but not tough on the Republicons but tough on the innocent children of Iraq. But her friends in the MIC made billions off the war she supported and they shared with her.

as state by state results.

There have been 23 primaries/caucuses in states that Obama won in 2012.
Clinton has defeated Sanders in 13 of them. Moreover, her wins have been in the larger, electoral college vote rich states:

Sanders' wins in Obama-won states: 76 electoral votes
Clinton's wins in Obama-won states: 186 electoral votes.
