24. The Obama administration is becoming involved in

Mon Mar 21, 2016, 04:30 AM

Mar 2016

the GE, helping our candidates defeat the GOP candidates, and Obama's people expect our candidate for president will be Hillary Clinton.

Not exactly a bunch of amateurs, and not commercial media trying to keep interest in their product pumped up.

Hill, Sanders broke his word and has been running a negative, not inspiring, campaign, so I'd prefer an early decisive win for the sake of the country.

BUT, so it crawls along a bit? Sanders would have to win ALL remaining states by large margins to win the nomination. Instead, with every state he does win but not by enough, he will fall farther and farther and farther behind...

Gotta hoard the courage and fortitude for the GE. Right now, it's just patience that's needed.
