Hillary support appears to be a religion which cannot be swayed by any amount of logic.

Her supporters are more likely to post about how inevitable she is for the nomination and how much they long for the day when you will be taken to room 101 to have rats chew your face off for even daring to question the fait accompli of her election in 2016.

Certainly most of them don't appear to have any sort of rational answers or argument in favor of her. Only gloating about the 71%.

71%, 71% neener, neener, neener. 71%
