Hillary lost the last 7 out of 8 contests. The only one she won was Arizona which is in the hands of

the DOJ at this very moment.

I know - math.

But what kind of message is it when you lose one contest after another after another after another?

And Arizona. Bernie will win Wyoming, then the second half of April comes.

And the DOJ was just adjudicating a potential border dispute between Arizona and Vermont (in case Arizona went a different way later)

DOJ has nothing to do with the final results--final results--in AZ.

Good luck in New York.

He was expected to have won Wisconsin. New York is the big player and I think his momentum stops there and we will see if the Sanders supporters would stop living in fantasy land.

If she ever gets to the point of "Not," then she's done something horribly wrong...actually, there were some things last week, come to think of it...

They had a certain amount of lead to run on, but this is stretching it now, especially with retroactively losing NV and probably other places later.

A good showing in NY could possibly be a deathblow at this point- I saw her on TV using the 2.5 million voters thing like her team here. It struck me as more than a little desperate- she couldn't claim anything she was currently doing or working on to fix that, only that she still had her early lead.

That's a bad hedge where CA is concerned...

His answer was "because she is winning". Doesn't get more empty than that. All she and her followers care about is winning. Substance does not matter.

She didn't even run any ads in Idaho.
None!
None on tv and none on the radio.
There were a few radio spots that Bernie did, and he also ran 2 ads on tv that were pretty good.
But, Hillary didn't even try here.
Bernie made 2 campaign stops in the state and held huge rallys.
Hillary didn't even bother to come here.

So, I think she ran out of gas.
Maybe she realized it just isn't worth it anymore.

Hillary had fundraisers all through March, Bernie had none, yet Bernie raised $44 million in March versus $29.5 million for Hillary.

Nobody has challenged the results of Arizona. Care to dig for a new excuse?
