They are counting on you to give up

Its the main play by Clinton as we head into mostly Bernie friendly states with more than half the delegates still in play .

Giving up is what they want you to do. It’s what they have been trying to get you to do since before the voting even started… They said if Bernie didn’t win both New Hampshire and Iowa that it was over… well with them flipping 6 delegates from Hillary to Bernie in Iowa (As most of us suspected when they tried to convince us she won), it turns out Bernie did win both Iowa and New Hampshire. Then when She won Nevada they said it’s over. But that also turned out not to be true… Next she ran the table on southern red states and they told us the math didn’t work, yet most of the country hadn’t voted yet. Super Tuesday she won the South Bernie won nearly everywhere else… but again they repeated it’s over.

Time and again we watch all the pundits include the super delegates into the count to create the illusion that she is way more popular than she is and that her lead is insurmountable. But Bernie kept reminding us is what they and every media outlet ignored was that the polling showed all her strong states come early, Bernie leads in polling in nearly every remaining state. Many of those leads by yuge margins.

So here we are about to enter the 2nd half. They know they need to discourage us and convince us that the math doesn’t work or Bernie will start rattling off win after win. They are playing prevent D and trying can get us to give up and not show up if she is to maintain her lead.

But wait, the two biggest states haven’t even voted yet with New York and California. In fact 9 contests left to run before New York and Bernie leads in polling in all of them. So if we stay engaged, keep volunteering, keep donating and keep talking about Bernie/ getting our friends to vote we can build momentum and run the table going into New York. with over 2000 delegates yet to be awarded the math does still work. Bernie doesn't even need the margins she has won by so far.

and I'll say again that ALL these states would be disenfranchised if he was not in the race. What nerve of these H supporters who think it is OK to let the Bible Belt determine who our candidate will be in November.
