Besides, bad logic. Clinton is clearly more popular among voters. QED, she's dominating the board. Therefore, she's a better candidate.

(979 posts)it is their own damn fault. I really have to wonder if the people who say they won't vote for Hillary in the general if she wins the primary are all straight white people. Because if they really believe that Hillary is as bad as Trump, then they are hypocrites. Being a democrat is much more than being about economic policies and free college and healthcare. Everyone wants that. But do you want to know what I want? Equal rights. For everyone. If they decide to put their hands in their pockets during the general election and let people who clearly hate half of the country win, then they are just as complicit as the people who vote for the republican side. End of story.

(1,968 posts)How many swing state Republican women will pull the lever for Clinton and tell their friends and husbands that they voted for Trump?

(15,374 posts)don't understand about the popular vote? They call themselves "progressives" but seem more authoritarian. They seem not to understand that life is not played out in a virtual forum. It is 'on the ground" constant and relentless slogging. And it is the people on the ground who have spoken.
Hillary will increase her popular vote lead tremendously tonight and most Democrats who supported Sanders in the primaries will vote for her in the GE, just as we would have done for Bernie had the opposite been the case. There will be some sane GOPers who will cross over and vote for her and some who will not be able to bring themselves to vote at all, given the choice they have. That's just as well and almost equals a vote.
And, as others have said, there will be far more Republican women who will vote for Hillary than there ever would have been so-called independents ever voting for Bernie, especially once the GOPer dirty tricks machine went into full smear mode against both him and Jane. And no, Jane would not have been spared. At all.

(4,507 posts)it's to be expected, they are hurting.
But it's also to be expected as their behavior toward us has been so vile and relentless.
The delusion, though - wow, the delusion is strong.
