Holy Cow, have you see the latest 538 projected results?

They jumped big since yesterday. YUGE. +58 in LA, +31 MI, +65 in MS!!, +38 FL, +37 IL

I have a little spreadsheet where you throw in the projected polling split and it does the math for me. Right now, with the current projected results, HRC would wake up on March 16th with roughly 71% of the delegate needed to claim the nomination. In the ballpark of 1693 delegates. At that point, BS would need to win 70% of the remaining delegates to win.

I'm getting the sense that HRC's big super Tuesday win is the signal to the rest of the Democratic party that it's time to put this sucker to bed and move on.

It is past time for him to act like the leader he pretends to be and start talking about how important it is for his supporters and all Democrats to stand together as we share a common goal of progressive change.

A shift from attacking HC and the DNC to one of a united effort against the repressive policies of the Republicans and their deliberate obstruction of progress is past due. He needs to responsibly lead his supporters--many of who are still believing a revolution against the establishment means victory or certain doom. The drama is unnecessary and potentially destructive for the progress Bernie claims he wants and we all need.

We should begin to unite against the Republican nominee.

It's not going to happen any more than either Cruz or Rubio is going to get out in order for the other to have a better shot at Trump.

"How can you win - and why are you continuing?"

Sunday in Flint - the answer? - something about "billionaires and millionaires" I'm sure!

...... the Dem candidate? They also keep on using Republican sources and sound like Republicans. These people are just encouraging/reinforcing others NOT to vote Democratic. Why not start up their own website named Democratic Socialist Undetground? Or go to a Republican site if they are openly rooting against the likely Dem nominee. I get the feeling there's a lot of non-Democrats on here stirring up things. Some are seething with hatred towards Hillary.

since March 2004). It should get better once Hillary is our nominee. I am surprised at the blatant TOS violations that are allowed to stand. I've been on several juries in the last two days where the vote was to "leave it".
