91. Well you could be right they and their supporters are not terrified.

Because they put their faith in big money...big money always wins...big money can spread the meme that black and hispanic people hate Bernie and love Hillary...big money can steam roll anyone.

And even promote the idea that the GOP is afraid of Hillary because they have nothing at all on her...and the socialism charge is all powerful...and yet the polls show she is at a sadistically tie with Jeb now even before they get started on her.

Delusion is there but it is not like you think it is.
