On the other hand, this is not a team sport. Or it should not be.

Issues, anyone?

A vocal Hillary supporter told me my concerns were unimportant because poor urban voters don't rank it high on their list of concerns.

Then they told me I could find better support for my views among Ted Cruz or Rand Paul.

Fuck me.

She's going to win NY, PA, MD, and DE coming up, too, and then it's over.

...you aren't going to sweat any.

The Superdelegates are going to assure a Hillary win no matter what. It's predetermined.

as one loooong game with many breaks. Kinda like cricket And my team blew yours out in the early innings and is now so far ahead that they are strategically grinding the clock to try avoid injury to key players and to save energy for the championship game.

If he wins New York, you MIGHT have something talk about, but the math is looking grim. Even with his recent string of wins, he is not on the pace he needs to be to overtake Clinton in the delegate count.

But elections aren't a sport, see. The playoffs will happen in July, and the national championship is in November. But, it's the fans who decide who wins, unlike with sports. The fans. We vote, and the team with the most votes wins.

See the difference?
