BWAHAHAHA !!! Clinton claiming victory, much like W in Florida!

[Motown_Johnny]

She better hope she is right or this will be a big story for at least a week.

[Tarc]

1. Kinda like Bernie?

At ~9pm or so, reports were saying Sanders was preparing to declare victory regardless of the final numbers.

[Motown_Johnny]

6. What reports? This is from Clinton's campaign.

Very different.


Again, a double standard being used to try and justify Hillary's actions.


Sad.

[Karma13612]

10. In relative terms, considering where he started months ago with Hillary having a

40 point lead.

He does not mean a true victory, but a success in overall outlook.

But, you knew that.

[840high]

35. Eh?

[SoLeftIAmRight]

2. a 51 - 49 result is not a win for hillary

it is a shocking collapse

[Renew Deal]

5. 50-49.3

84% reporting

[Tarc]

14. Here comes the backpedaling & revisionism

[DanTex]

17. LOL.

[SoLeftIAmRight]

25. In America you are free to support someone that is to the right of Nixon

for me, it is sad that you are happy about that

[roguevalley]

32. down to 0.3 now.

[SoLeftIAmRight]

34. still falling .0.2

...

[Renew Deal]

3. Agree

What's the rush?

[alcibiades_mystery]

4. Deeply stupid move by the Clinton campaign

What a gaffe.

[laruemtt]

7. Well, good judgment

has never been her strong suit.

[PowerToThePeople]

11. I agree

No good will come of it.

But possibly lots of bad.

I would like to say it makes me sad for her campaign, but...

No.

[virtualobserver]

29. do you think they were trying to push the networks into calling it for her?

[thereismore]

8. If she is wrong on this, she will become the butt of jokes. Not good. nt

[KittyWampus]

9. Vile OP. Comparing Clinton to W in Florida? We all know whose supporters

would be doing something like a Brooks Bros door crashing...

and it isn't Clinton.

[Motown_Johnny]

12. I strongly disagree.

If anyone is going to try some dirty trick to win it would be Hillary.

[FrenchieCat]

18. Like when using Planned Parenthood and AARP logos,

or Stealing DNC database info, or attempting to influence union members in Nevada.

I think that was the Sanders campaign.
Think you are projecting,
considering that Hillary supporters can barely start a thread....here or even in their own forum!

But ok.

[Motown_Johnny]

23. Those logo allegations were never proved. Looks like Clinton supporter lies

just like the whole thing about Bernie supporters misrepresenting themselves in a union meeting. We know that was a Clinton supporter lie.

You can think whatever you want. Reality still exists.

[FrenchieCat]

36. That would mean that Planned Parenthood and AARP lied....

Not Hillary Clinton!

add the Conservation of League of Voters to that....

Des Moines, January 26, 2106 — In response to the Sanders campaign mailing featuring AARP and the Association’s Take A Stand campaign, AARP does not endorse candidates, have a political action committee (PAC), or make contributions to political campaigns or candidates.

While we have encouraged the presidential candidates to lay out their plans to update Social Security, AARP did not authorize the Sanders campaign to mention AARP or use the AARP logo, and we did not participate in its production.

We have a proud 30-year history of non-partisan voter engagement, providing voters with information on where the candidates stand on issues important to our members and their families, so they can make their own decisions on Election Day.

13. Lol. An angry Kitty.

[KittyWampus]

16. Don't project emotions on me Cali.You are wrong. I'm quite happy right now

taking a break from reading with my cat stretched out on my legs.

[morningfog]

24. The comparison is on point. Her hubris is deplorable.

[KingFlorez]

26. If Clinton wins, the fraud allegations will fly

I'm betting that Sanders has a lawsuit filed tomorrow if he doesn't get his way.

[ornotna]

15. Premature proclamation

It ain't over till it's over.

[SickOfTheOnePct]

19. Not sure I'd delcare victory with fewer delegates

20. Where's Rehnquist when you need him, anyway?

[a kennedy]

21. Claiming a Steve Harvey of politics???

[Samantha]

22. So if anything goes wrong will she say Bernie tried to steal it?

Right now 84 percent in; both have 15 delegates. Iowa has a total of 30. She might have a slight lead but the delegate vote is tied. That is important.

[NowSam]

27. I pray she is wrong. .5% between them now. eom

[Motown_Johnny]

28. I have it a 0.4%

[Dawson Leery]

30. Bernie stepped of of the old Tupolev and decided to stay for awhile.

[Motown_Johnny]

31. He has been gaining steadily for about 40 minutes now.

Closed from 1.5% back with 80% in to 0.4% back with 88% in.
