2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumI don't know how many times people need to tell Hillary they just aren't that into her.
After the 08 collapse, and her inability to win states and close out this Primary, it's honestly time for her to start thinking about putting the party above her own ambition.
How long must the democratic party be hijacked by a candidate we never wanted in the first place.

(9,527 posts)Clinton has more pledged delegates, more popular votes and has won more states. If she's not popular, then the guy she's beating is even less popular. I really don't understand why you think repeating something so obviously silly helps convince anybody.
If Clinton isn't popular enough to be the nominee, then the guy she's beating by a substantial margin sure isn't either.

(14,915 posts)Clinton has been running for this moment since at least 92. Bernie was supposed to be token opposition on her way to the nomination, yet she can't close the fucking deal.
bigwillq
(72,790 posts)I believe she also leads in states won. So, she is winning all the way around.
BTW, Sanders supporter here. But Hillary is winning this contest based on the rules set up entering the primary season.
She could lose the remaining states, but unless Bernie wins by a large percentage in each state, Hillary will likely still win more delegates.

(14,915 posts)or one that can barely beat what was expected to be token opposition. One candidate is underperforming, one is over performing. Which one would you want heading into the GE?
bigwillq
(72,790 posts)But the party will get behind Clinton if and when she becomes the nominee and I am fairly certain she will do well in the GE.

(14,177 posts)Caucus voters aren't counted in that number. So her total would be higher and so would Bernie's if those numbers were included. Bernie's would be much higher though since he's won most the caucus states.

(12,689 posts)More delegates and the popular vote. At this point Sanders knows he can't win, so he's going to the convention to beg super delegates to give him the nomination regardless of the result is.
We don't want Bernie Sanders. He's lost the registered Democratic vote everywhere.

(9,610 posts)Clinton is just the next puppet ruler the oligarchs planned on putting into place.
They have the media, the money, the name recognition, and the vote counters. They are still having a tough time at it.
