So now It's the He-Man Hillary Haters Club.

Yea, I know we are all sexists.
Yea, I know we are all racists.
Yea, I know we are all losers.


Let me know when someone else says this:

“They told white workers who were earning pennies an hour, ‘Hey, you think you’re in trouble, but you’re better off than the blacks,'” he said. “And they told straight people, ‘You’re better off than those gay people.’ And they pitted men against women. It’s always playing one group against another. That’s how the rich got richer while everybody else was fighting each other. Our job is to build a nation in which we all stand together.”[/div

Break time, time to find something else to do.

3. Only 3 or 4 more months. Super Tuesday is in March 2016.

4. 3/2. Super Tuesday plus one.

Release the bubbly

6. Is it your prediction that Sanders and O'Malley will both drop out by March 2?

My prediction is: After Super Tuesday, Clinton will have a significant lead in pledged delegates to go with her significant lead in party apparatchiks and elected officials (the superdelegates). Her big-money donors will also give her a significant lead in fundraising (especially if we count the dark money flowing to her SuperPAC). Nevertheless, at least one of her progressive challengers (most likely Sanders) will have enough grassroots enthusiasm to continue campaigning and to continue to win a significant number of delegates in the face of the cash bombardment.

8. Depends on how much they want the repubs to lose in November.

The sooner we get behind our nominee the better chance we have in November.

9. I strongly disagree with the opinion that the promulgation of progressive views helps the GOP.

If Clinton is the nominee, she will benefit from:
* having been in debates in which she can present herself positively;
* having been criticized from the left. The Republicans are not going to attack her for having supported the Iraq War or for opposing single payer, but the more attention that's given to these and other issues on which she's more conservative than O'Malley and Sanders, the more she'll look like a sensible moderate, between them on the left and the GOP on the right. (Don't forget that she wants to portray herself as a moderate); and
* a longer primary campaign that gives Sanders more opportunity to energize previously apathetic young people, some (though not all) of whom will then be swayed by his endorsement of Clinton in the general election.

10. Typically it's true

Just as in sports, the worst thing you could do is play your season opener, then sit it out all the way until the playoffs. You'd be creamed. Totally unprepared.

But then in the case of certain candidates, taking away that risk of campaign implosion may not be such a bad idea.

7. Amen to that! n/t
