Hillary Clinton just won the NYS Primary...

...I know it's difficult for the Bernie Brigade to accept this, but Democrats actually like Hillary Clinton, especially in New York State where she was twice elected Senator. After Sen. Sanders' comments, voters will rally around her.

It's a dumb comment, but is fairly trivial in the bigger scheme of things.

And i have found many more Hillary supporters than Sanders supporters here.

Thanks for your concern though.

My Aunt is from NYC and my ex was from Buffalo and long with tons of friends. One thing I can guarantee you is they are not thin skinned, a little back and forth on unqualified? Really? Everyone I know from NY drops the F bomb at least once in every sentence, they can cuss paint off a wall made from cast iron and was never painted. Can't we have informative posts?

And besides, New Yorkers don't need to be coddled and they wouldn't expect their leaders to need it either Too much hurt feelings will just (further) disqualify her. After the Vermont gun nonsense of this morning, they'll appreciate a campaign that deals in real issues and meaningful facts.
