There's so much support for Hillary that I can't even do a like on her Facebook page as it's jumping so quickly. Hillary has gotten more than 10 million votes, more than any other candidate. Nate Silver's 538 blog says she got 75% of the African American vote and 63% of the Hispanic vote. She got such a high number of votes form one district in New York (leading by 40%) they had to adjust their exit polls. She is the most qualified, experienced candidate and will make a great Madame President. Go, Hillary!

Calf primary is difference there are 13 congressional districts and each dīsr choose 3 delegates or something like that and so Sanders has no chance as Hillary is so popular in every western state

Pro-Hillary propaganda much? "Hillary Clinton, the nearly unstoppable Democrat," and "Her sweeping victory in the New York primary" are pretty questionable claims. She was stoppable in 2008 even though she was ahead of Obama for the longest time, winning in key states such as New York, Florida, Ohio, and California. Also, her victory is New York was not "sweeping." Sanders won the vast majority of the individual counties, and several of the ones that Clinton won were a very close call. Not to mention the massive voter purge that went down in Brooklyn, Bernie's home town, as well as voter fraud and other means which made it very difficult for people in certain areas of NYC to even cast a vote. Would be very curious to see the results with all the affidavits included.

"Momentum" don't matter. Demographics do.

Good question. It isn't exactly news that Hillary is not popular, well liked candidate....if she were than presumably the Democrat total would not have been down over 72,000 from 2008 in her adopted home state and the Republican total is up 215,000.

So it looks like Hillary and Trump. I'm a little sad cuz I hoped Sanders would get it.

IMO, once the general election starts, Hillary's Secretary of State/Senator past will come back to haunt her and people will be shocked at the truth. She will still get her loyal followers, but not the majority. I think people would rather roll the dice on Trump then elect the creator of ISIS, Libya, TBTF banks, and the beat goes on.

Ugh. Double Ugh I too would prefer Sanders over the two worst candidates.

It's not over yet, the Democrats may yet come to their senses and throw out the corrupt Hillary in favor of the candidate with ethics who easily beats either Trump or Cruz in the polls, Sanders.

Of course that's not likely, but then if the Republicans come to their senses ( even more unlikely ) but if they do, and nominate Kasich, Hillary is toast!

-1 ( +3 / -4 )

Trump is still hanging against Cruz. Kasich is very respected by both GOP members and Dem members. He has more variety of experience than any of other candidates added.

Ha ha! Exactly - because there is so much we don't know about her. Perhaps we should open an umpteenth investigation lasting forever, interviewing everyone, and examining every document.

Yeah! Because logic dictates that if 30 something bipartisan investigations hasn't found anything, it means that she is hiding it. Same logic used in the invasion of Iraq, and that turned out wonderful!

Don't need any investigations, but the MSM will no longer be able to play the Hillary-Lite version of events once Trump goes into battle. LOL

Will we ever see those $400,000./$300,000./$250,000. transcripts from the TBTF bank speeches or Clinton Foundation ledgers? These will pose some problems for her.

Sanders went Tome to gain NY Catholics votes but did not work?

toshiko,

What is your definition of a western state? So far Clinton has only won Nevada and Arizona. Sanders has won Washington, Alaska, Hawaii, Colorado, Utah, and Idaho by huge margins.

Sanders went Tome to gain NY Catholics votes but did not work?

He didn't go to gain votes. He went because he was invited by the pope who feels that Sanders is a person that can truly stand up for a more moral economy.

I'm not so blind to not see that Sanders' chances have gotten pretty slim, but I think an indictment for Clinton could be a game changer. I personally believe the email scandal is overblown, but it's a big deal to a lot of people and is simply a big minus on her image. Will the Democratic party risk putting a candidate under indictment up against Trump?

Western state .. Nevada Arizona, calif and other state in northern west.. the states use CT for timing zone. Also some of them have MLB western reams. if not. Minor teams. Pt zone.

"Western States" = Sunset Magazine (check it out - good stuff! http://www.sunset.com/ ) There are zero political ideologies that link them - only interests, and those are often at cross-purposes. Think of Twain's comment about the West: "Whiskey is for drinking; water is for fighting over." You will not find a more disparate region in the US, or perhaps even the world.

Clinton hasn.t been indicted. FBI hasn't arrested her.

When Sanders went Rome, Pope was way to visit Greek refugee camp and he returned to Rome with 12 refugees.

More like a failure to educate American children - of all races - that the idea of America is and never has been synonymous with Socialism. The more socialist America becomes the less exceptional it is. And that is to the detriment of all.
