35. "What difference – at this point, what difference does it make?"
Sun Feb 14, 2016, 09:59 PM
Feb 2016

Whether the Weekly Standard or some other publication ... the analysis is valid.

The bottom line is this: Hillary Clinton was crushed in New Hampshire by Sen. Sanders. The exit polling show that this defeat was deep and broad based.

Hillary Clinton is a loser.

If Bernie can beat her in New Hampshire and all she can do is draw a tie in Iowa, the conclusion one can reasonably draw is that any Repuglican will be able to do the same come this November.
