What are your predictions for the delegate lead after Super Tuesday?

Mine: Hillary + 175(including current lead)

Wow...the entire South now thrown under the bus

Can the bus get any bigger?

And seriously, some of the comments about the South are exactly what I expect from Trump: bunch of uneducated people voting against their interests?

Clinton is really lucky her Southern firewall comes early to choke off Bernie's momentum

Sometimes in politics you're just lucky that everything lines up.

If the schedule had been different I can definitely see Bernie picking up much more momentum before running into the Southern states

Appeal to Clinton supporters - next couple of weeks could be tough for Sanders. Please do not gloat

1. It's not classy
2. It not something Clinton would want her supporters to do.
3. A lot of us have been there before when she lost to Obama and we know what it feels like.
4. You might get alerted and have your post hidden.
5. A house divided against itself cannot stand. There are some Sanders supporters who will never vote for Clinton but there are many who might, given time.

Republicans are worried enough about Trump to surrender the presidency to Clinton to save the Senate

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/02/28/us/politics/donald-trump-republican-party.html?hp&action=click&pgtype=Homepage&clickSource=story-heading&module=first-column-region®ion=top-news&WT.nav=top-news


While still hopeful that Mr. Rubio might prevail, Mr. McConnell has begun preparing senators for the prospect of a Trump nomination, assuring them that, if it threatened to harm them in the general election, they could run negative ads about Mr. Trump to create space between him and Republican senators seeking re-election. Mr. McConnell has raised the possibility of treating Mr. Trump’s loss as a given and describing a Republican Senate to voters as a necessary check on a President Hillary Clinton, according to senators at the lunches.

He has reminded colleagues of his own 1996 re-election campaign, when he won comfortably amid President Bill Clinton’s easy re-election. Of Mr. Trump, Mr. McConnell has said, “We’ll drop him like a hot rock,” according to his colleagues.



Clinton will have an easy win. SS Trump is going to sink and they don't want to go down with her.

Sanders gives up on six Super Tuesday states: Virginia,Georgia,Texas,Alabama,Arkansas, Tennessees

http://www.latimes.com/nation/politics/trailguide/la-na-nevada-republican-caucuses-trailguide-02232016-htmlstory.html#3233

But Sanders is so far spending nothing on television in two of the biggest states that vote on March 1, Virginia and Georgia, and only a token amount in Texas. He's also not on the air in Alabama, Arkansas or Tennessee. Clinton and the super PAC allied with her, Priorities USA, is advertising in all six.
