Stop engaging unless you are worried the math isn't on Hillary's side [View all]

Some people need to stop dismissing Bernie's overwhelming wins yesterday. Just like Hillary was expected to take big wins in the south, Bernie was expected to take big wins in the states he won yesterday. Both campaigns have had overwhelming results. I don't know why there is this tit for tat back and forth but its really making it depressing coming on this board. Of the 22 contests left, only 4 (I think) are caucuses. Hillary didn't do well in caucuses in 2008 but your candidate still has the math on her side and exerts her strength in primaries. I know "the math" is something that seems to also be devalued but its there nonetheless. There are delegate rich primaries coming with the kind of demographics that won't allow Sanders to win by the margins he did yesterday so what are some of you'll tripping about? Its this rabidness from both fan bases that makes it hard for me to support either candidate. Whomever I vote for I'll probably keep quiet but based on this forum if I announce I voted for Hillary in the Maryland primary next month I'm sure it will be met with disdain. If I vote for Sanders I'm sure I'll get more support based on how anti-Hillary this site is but still face the wrath from some of you Hillary supporters.

The tide will once again turn and now the map is favorable to Clinton again to the point that she will continue gaining delegates in states like Delaware, NY, MD, NJ, California that unless Sanders wins those states by 80/20, he can't catch her. Close contests don't help him. Even if he wins 60/40 in those states, it won't be enough so why are you engaging in the tit for tat when you have the delegate count and the popular vote on your side? Let Bernie fans be happy with their wins like you were when Hillary swept the 5 states on the last Super Tuesday. She's further ahead than Obama was in 2008 so if I was a Hillary supporter I'd be sitting back filing my nails simply waiting for the last contest and move onto the convention. Some people are really moving beyond silly season with their talking points, which can be manipulated to look a certain way for either candidate. However, your strongest talking point is the delegate count so again...why are you tripping?
