Yavin4's JournalTrump's lead over Cruz < Hillary's lead over Bernie in pledged delegates only.
But somehow, Trump is well on his way to the nomination, but Hillary is in trouble?

Hillary won the night. It's a delegates race, and she came out ahead.
It's about delegates, not states.
The Pre-Michigan Polls were right. Those polls were of likely Dem voters.
From 538:
Worst case scenario: Split in MI + Big Win in MS = Increased Delegate Lead with 2 less states
That's the worst case scenario. Bernie cannot defeat the math.

Who has time for all of this shit? I don't. Let me vote and let me go home.

So, there's a post on the greatest page decrying that Hillary is a Corporatist (HRC Group)
How much do you want to wager that the person making that post did it from a computer made by Apple, or Dell or Asus. Or that he owns a iPhone or a Samsung smart phone and has Verizon or AT&T or T-Mobile as their cell phone carrier or internet provider or that he works for a corporation, etc. or that he watched The Young Turks which broadcasts on YouTube which is owned by Google. Or that he has a 401K or pension plan that invests in stocks.
We're all corporatists.

I didn't support Hillary in 2008, but this is why I am supporting her now
She could have burned the house down in 2008. She could have turned the Dem convention into something ugly. She didn't do that. She showed grace and class by accepting the will of her party, a lesson that others need to learn today.
I pledge to no longer engage the Bernie Supporters on DU because Hillary has won the nomination.
I don't think it's worth the energy and the effort to engage in a debate with the Bernie supporters on DU. They're in the denial stage, and engaging them in a debate just prolongs their process.
I get angry at them at times, but most of them are new to the political/legislative process or they have an overly romantic view of how policy is made.
I would suggest that, as a Hillary supporter, you do the same. Stop engaging them. Let the math do the talking for you.
Trump is losing his cool.
He's getting ganged up on and calling Rubio, "Little Marco".
