2016 Postmortem
Showing Original Post only (View all)What Hillary Supporters Know but Are Having Difficulty Accepting... [View all]

That Bernie Sanders *can* win the nomination and that if he does, he has a far better chance at beating whatever GOP candidate is nominated than Clinton does.
The momentum is in Bernie's favor and based on the DFA call this evening, there is a clear plan in place for Bernie to take Iowa and New Hampshire. Staunch Hillary supporters are starting to break for Bernie.
With over 2.5 million individual contributes from well over 1 million people, the revolution is well on it's way to sweeping the nation.

Obviously all of this talk comes from recent polling showing Sanders would do better than Clinton.
