Is it her turn? Is the DNC cramming her down our throats?

Or do people just simply want her to be our nominee?

By the looks of it, the people want her to be our nominee. So why do people keep saying that she's just running because it's her turn? Why do I keep hearing that the DNC is cramming her down our throats? Why should she drop out when she's leading by a significant margin?

Are the entitled ones the ones calling for her to drop out?

Don't listen, if you don't like it.
But we are all entitled to express ourselves.
You are only in charge of yourself. I suggest not clicking on anything that may upset your delicate sensibilities or that you suspect you may not agree with. So easy.

just because the candidate you support doesn't appeal to enough people that he's not able to win a nomination doesn't mean the other candidate is being crammed down your throat.

Grow up

She announced and is running for President. She's campaigned and won a majority of votes in the primary. If she wins the primary as it appears she will it's because she earned it, not because it is her turn.

This isn't a game of jump rope.

The claim that Hillary is winning the popular vote is one of the most deceptive, specious claims the Hillary Clinton campaign and her surrogates are making. The mainstream media is echoing and giving a total pass on this egregiously dishonest claim.

This is very important for several reasons.

1- Superdelegates are arguing that they are, by supporting Hillary, representing the majority of voters. The truth is that this not true.

2- The mainstream media repeat the "Hillary is winning the popular vote" mantra, or allow Hillary and her surrogates to make the specious claim many many times every day.

Actually, the claim is an affront to the truth, based on the numbers.
