if Hillary is such a strong candidate....

[Exilednight]

Then why is there thread after thread telling us why Bernie should drop out?

Why doesnt she have enough declared delegates to win without Super Delegates?

[anotherproletariat]

1. Because she (or anyone else) would be stronger without a pesky old guy trying to break up

the party.

[kayakjohnny]

2. You mean that party that's already broken?

Gee I wonder how it got that way.

[Exilednight]

3. you forgot something.

Here. I found it for you

[Viva_La_Revolution]

4. waaa! she has to work for it! waaa!

That's what i heard...

[Marr]

24. She'd win easily if she had no opposition.

Bold.

[Trust Buster]

5. If Sanders is such a strong candidate, why was he unable to beat such a "weak" candidate ?

[Exilednight]

13. Hillary had every possible advantage. Bernie started behind the eight ball

And still mounted a serious challenge.

[Trust Buster]

18. Yes, her best advantage being more voters.....LOL...Stay thirsty my friend...LOL

[Nye Bevan]

6. I'm a lot stronger than a mosquito.

It's still annoying, though, and I would like it to go away.

[metroins]

7. Because Bernie is wasting time and resources

California is not in play come November, but Hillary has to spend time there now instead of being in Ohio, FL or other battleground states. She could be recuperating or going on national talk shows or fundraising.

Bernie is wasting May and possibly June, for no reason. Hillary has to campaign against Bernie for optics so Trump doesn't give her a hard time about a loss.

It's just fucking inefficient.

[Exilednight]

8. a leader needs to be able to walk and chew bubblegum at the same time.

[metroins]

9. That makes no sense

Thought about writing a real reply, but you put zero thought into yours.

Enjoy your day.

[Exilednight]

11. I'll break it down for you. you're arguing that Hillary can't do two things at once, but that's bull

A real leader can do both. Hillary has every resource any candidate could possibly have, but she's failing to use those resources to their maximum efficiency

[randome]

43. But expending resources on one front instead of two is always desirable.

[Exilednight]

44. Presidents don't get to deal with only one issue in the c0urse of a day.

[freemtnhermit]

12. Bernie is wasting time and resources how?

Seems to me, it's his time since he has been slapped with a media blackout, and as for resources, do you really want to go there???? He can campaign until the cow come home in Ca., with the monies I've sent, and I don't have a problem with that. Remember? Hillary "resources" are the Super Pacs, not Bernie Sanders

[AgingAmerican]

15. So all of the agonized OPs from Hillary supporters are in the name of efficiency?

[kayakjohnny]

32. Ha!

[bigbrother05]

34. Yes, inefficient to win over your own party

Amazing that the guy who never had a chance is "hurting" the most qualified candidate ever.

If she isn't talking about the issues needed to win in November, then what is she talking about?

The message that won in the South doesn't work in a battleground state?

[HereSince1628]

45. Bernies IDENTIFYING resources, thanks to him everyone knows the strength and location

of the strength of progressive/reform minded democrats.

Of course in addition to what we all know, Sanders knows the names and contact information of millions of donors and volunteers who will work to reform the democratic party to make it more progressive and better tuned to its real and potential base.

Only seeing Sanders run in the most myopic of terms tends to make the big picture unavailable for viewing

[metroins]

46. He's already done that.....

His time is past.

[HereSince1628]

47. It's not quite done yet. The primary is doing this at the county level.

HRC turned to the GE months ago, when she put the primary away in the south, right?

Patience is a virtue that also helps prevent stomach ulcers.

[YouDig]

10. She's stronger than Bernie, that's all you need to concern yourself with.

[Exilednight]

14. it's not a level playing field. it's severely tilted towards Hillary.

[YouDig]

19. It's tilted towards Sanders. Without undemocratic caucuses it would be an even bigger margin.

[Exilednight]

20. riiiiiight, because Sanders had the DNC behind him.

[YouDig]

21. The voters chose Hillary, not the DNC.

[Exilednight]

22. DWS had no part in scheduling debates on shitty nights that

Favored Hillary.

[YouDig]

31. There were plenty of debates, everybody had a chance to hear Bernie. They just didn't like him.

[Exilednight]

35. it was the lowest debate ratings since Al Gore ran.

[Yurovsky]

41. These folks think it was fair because DWS & HRC told them so...

they aren't going to bother peeking behind the curtain, they would rather not know. And if she loses to Trump, it will be Bernie's fault. Nothing is EVER the Clinton's fault...

[asuhornets]

30. LOL...n/t

[JoePhilly]

16. Bernie can stay in. Its a waste of time. But he can stay in.

[Shadowflash]

17. Haha! No doubt.

She had better thank her lucky stars that the GOP nominated a boob like trump. He is an ass and has managed to alienate EVERYBODY, yet the best HRC can do, so far, in GE polling, is tie the moron.

Had the GOP nominated anybody with even a LITTLE common sense, she would be toast.

All this and yet it'll be the Sanders supporters fault when she loses the GE? I think it will be the fault of the people who nominated this non-starter candidate.

[Orsino]

23. When there are two strong candidates, neither can easily or quickly seal the deal,

We learned this in '08. It's indicative of strength, not weakness.

[Exilednight]

25. Bernie is an insurgent candidate with little infrastructure prior to his first few wins.

[Orsino]

27. Doesn't matter what we call it.

The number of delegates he won guarantees a contested convention.

Not a brokered convention, as only one vote would seem to be needed. But this is a consequence of having two strong candidates.

[Exilednight]

29. they only get to vote after Bernie contests it, unless he decides not to.

[Orsino]

33. This is true.

If one candidate bails, probably because of some deal, there would be no need for a vote.

[asuhornets]

36. I agree Sanders is a strong candidate...nt

[Gomez163]

26. Because he won't stop criticizing her. He has no chance to win.

All he is doing is driving up Hillary's negatives.

[Exilednight]

28. that's all Hillary.

[Matt_in_STL]

37. I guess Hillary should have avoided creating those negatives to point out

They aren't exactly a well kept secret.

[Exilednight]

38. it seems they want us to believe that it's B Ernie's fault she had

A private server installed, or that she backed out of a promised debate.

[Matt_in_STL]

39. Or one of the other 100 things she has done to build her negative persona

I know people like that. Nothing is ever their fault, it has to be someone else keeping them down.

[Exilednight]

40. it will be more of the same if she's elected and runs into

A do nothing congress.

[Vinca]

42. The truth is, he's acting as a buffer between Hillary and Trump. You should be grateful.

As soon as Trump is let loose on Hillary alone it's going to be a nightmare for Clinton and her supporters.
