Highlight:

In a CLOSED primary, HALF the Democratic base went for Sanders. This. late. in. the. race! [View all] JimDandy May 2016 OP

But Brock's memo said that a closed primary guaranteed an overwhelming Clinton victory! arcane1 May 2016 #1

Arcane, it means the support for a Progressive Movement is STRONG! JimDandy May 2016 #44

I wasn't watching the KY race because I had expected her to win with a good margin JimDandy May 2016 #10

Hillary spent 3 times as much in Kentucky as Sanders did. (nt) w4rma May 2016 #33

"I can't wait for morning of January 20th...." Oh, and why is that? George II May 2016 #24

Why is that? Because Clinton has done a grand job of pissing everyone off at herself. w4rma May 2016 #39

You need to go back 8 years to a blog to prove your "point"? George II May 2016 #29

Here's the USA newspaper article-not a blog-in which Clinton defends her emphasis on White voters: JimDandy May 2016 #125

That article doesn't seem to say what you claimed, not even close. George II May 2016 #127

Yes, it clearly does. JimDandy May 2016 #128

It's interesting how things have flipped since 2008 oberliner May 2016 #41

That's definitely a big part of it oberliner May 2016 #54

How much of this is forjusticethunders May 2016 #63

Good question oberliner May 2016 #67

The fact is, 2008 notwithstanding, Clinton is winning in 2016. And Sanders has 1% of the appeal.... George II May 2016 #61

1%? Clinton Camp's penchant for pulling numbers out of their...... is legendary, JimDandy May 2016 #126

From a challenger that was not known on the azmom May 2016 #42

I pick neither. George II May 2016 #43

She has the backing of the entire DNC and 20 years of name recognition in her corner NightWatcher May 2016 #45

It's a CLOSED primary George. She should have had the whole darn pool to herself JimDandy May 2016 #65
