Just glancing over all the silly and ridiculous smear attacks by the Hillarians...must be in advance of bad news. Losing Wisconsin? Bad NY poll? Coming indictment?

Too late to change what happens today in WI, and if an indictment is coming, it's coming regardless of any options that are are available at this time. Way too late to avoid that bomb.
Clinton has got to be most focused on NY. If she loses there, I think Bernie is right, and he will win the nomination - even if he doesn't hit his 56% delegate threshold in the state. If Bernie wins NY, it changes everything going forward. That's the only challenge that Clinton can still influence, and so whatever we are seeing in terms of her team's panic and vitriol, the NY primary is at the heart of that storm.

(4,187 posts)Lots of bad news has come out about Bernie lately, and it's all his own fault:
1. He accused Hillary of being supported by the oil industry, and then demanded that she apologize when she pointed out that his campaign was lying. The Washington Post gave Bernie three Pinocchios for that:

2. He did not release his full tax returns, and then lied about it. The Washington Post gave him four Pinocchios for that:

3. And finally, he showed that he does not actually know how to accomplish his promise of breaking up the big banks:

It looks like the tide has turned against Bernie. Enjoy the rest of the election!

(16,916 posts)Such predictions from the past months have always proved spurious, and are always followed by Bernie victories.
Thanks! I think I will enjoy the rest of the election!

(4,187 posts)that when GD-P is not 100% anti-Hillary but instead, say, 95% anti-Hillary, Bernie supporters say the anti-Bernie posts by Hillary supporters suggest that Hillary's numbers must be bad.
So what do all the anti-Hillary posts by Bernie supporters (the ones that make up 95% of GD-P) suggest about Bernie's numbers?

If he doesn't win it by 58-42, he loses.
