(135,425 posts)Remember how they screwed McCain with the false story about the hot looking lobbyist (the one who produced dozens of hilarious photoshops, poor thing)?
If anything, they'd want to publish a scandal piece on Clinton--front page. They're a dying concern, and they need to sell overpriced papers to keep afloat. Inevitable candidates don't sell papers--presumptive nominees on the rocks, being challenged by upstarts--that's where the money lies.
HRC was going to win The Big Prize, FL, anyway. She had NC in the bag, too. One could take those--and the delegates therefrom--and still call it a draw...a rough, bloody draw, but a draw.
OH/IL/MO were the iffy ones. The fact that she ran the table was a real BOOM-GOES-THE-DYNAMITE event in this scenario. It changed the atmosphere completely.
I was prepared for just FL and NC. I was hoping for FL-NC-IL, but wasn't confident. The way people were talking, BS was supposed to run away with OH and MO, and that didn't happen at all. He had a shitty night, and he's got to see that the only thing he's doing if he presses on is delaying the inevitable.
If he has a lot of bills to pay, he might need a few more of those twenty seven buck donations to get the books in line. I wouldn't be surprised if you see some tell-tale "economies" happening in his campaign that are a harbinger of things to come.
