On my way home from a Hillary rally. It was billed as a GOTV rally.

While we waited in line campaign workers gave everyone forms to volunteer to phone bank or to canvass from today until Tuesday.

She has deffinately pivited to the general.

There was no mention of Bernie. She only talked about her ideas vs Trump. She only acknowledged the primary by asking everyone to vote on Tuesday.

It was a small event in a high school gym. There where many people outside that could not get in.

While we were waiting in line a reporter from Finland was interviewing people.


If I can post pictures later I will

Another lie the media used to try to knock down Hillary, which her supporters have debunked simply by getting out and voting.

you see so few. Also, she doesn't really need to waste money on them...what with her winning since March and all. The campaign will have to print new ones once she picks a running mate, so no use putting more money into the primary than necessary.

The huge rallies might be exciting, but Hillary seems to be getting enough votes for an overwhelming win with smaller venues.

e.g., MSNBC To the deniers... Watch THIS Video... It is not comforting to think that she may well be the Democratic Nominee...

Hillary really betrayed Andrea Mitchell... The entire context of this report was of a solemn nature... A Funeral so to speak...

Andrea Mitchell "I do not see this report as ...ANYTHING BUT... DEVASTATING!"

Chuck Todd "After this I don't think that she could get confirmed for Attorney General!"

Lots of FIBBING by Hillary here.. for more than a year!

Why punch down? It's the same reasoning for her decision to decline his demand to another debate... it's unnecessary.

Pictures please!

Saw earlier that you weren't sure how. Once you download to your files open an account with an image site. I use postimage.org it is easy to use and free. Ha! you can store your images there, again for no charge. I am not the most tech savvy, hope that helps, upaloopa.

"Small event," "high school gym," "many people outside."

Let's see! It's GOTV, right? How many did they Get Out?

And if you're going to show something like this, please also give the reverse angle. Thanks.

It's not the size of the rally that counts, it's the votes in the ballot box.

Hillary's still more than THREE MILLION VOTES AHEAD, but apparently some folks just don't believe in actual democracy.

Hillary will have the required number of delegates by Tuesday to win the nomination.

300 super delegates will not flip to Bernie and there is no indictment coming. Bernie has lost the primary. It just takes some longer to face reality.

...kind of made that up? And by the way, it was Trump who teased and bailed, not Hillary.

Bernie is too far behind now to ever catch up. She's been handlng him with kid gloves this whole time, while he can't stop bellowing that she is the enemy of Democracy. It's over. She has to move on and knock out Tinyhands Trump, who really IS the enemy of Democracy. Why on earth would she reverse course to indulge Sanders in a charade?

Ridiculous.
