(1,786 posts)Even though there are several polls showing HRC being beaten in the GE by all the republican front runners it doesn't matter. It is all about the history to be made by having a woman nominated for President of the United States, nothing else.

She supports the TPP that will take our jobs and give Big Pharma power to raise prises. She supports tough drug laws and Prisons For Profits. She is not a friend of the 99%.

(10,622 posts)that specifically prefers Democrats voted, I did not know everybody voted yet.
This is good news! there are only Democrats in the country! independents and others don't get to vote at all in the General Election (let alone any of the states that have not yet voted in the primaries), and here I was thinking that only roughly over half of 29% of the country (and not even their full vote yet at that) voted Hillary
But she is now the leader! I suppose we can call her a President rather than a ruler even if Democracy was shit canned when I wasn't looking. She is now President.
Why was this not on the news? When did they cancel the rest of the primary states chance to vote and when did they cancel the general election for president? It didn't even make CNN let alone my local newspaper.
I guess we are a Monarchy or Dictatorship now and have no need of a Presidential election! Not only that, Hilary was installed as our new Ruler!
It happened so fast I am now speechless.

(3,733 posts)Bernie isn't going to get out of primary.
The gap is already much to large.

(3,733 posts)The GE isn't going to be his concern.
Hillary will win against any Republican.
Any Democrat would this year.
Not This Shit Again.
The only matchup that matters is the one that the voters decide based on their votes in the primary. If this argument hasn't held sway no matter how many times Bernie says it (and his more exuberant supporters parrot on the internet), it never will.

Sanders' wins in Obama-won states: 76 electoral votes
Clinton's wins in Obama-won states: 186 electoral votes.
