I thought Hillary had it wrapped up? Hillary has been in spending a lot of time in Kentucky.

I've heard it constantly that Hillary could lose 100 percent of the remaining delegates and still win and that's why she's in GE mode. Hillary must know something else as she's been in Kentucky constantly.

Maybe Jeb's check cleared?

Bill and Chelsea were pandering to them big time. Recent photos shows that Bill and Chelsea were wearing flannel shirts, clearly pandering.

They know Bernie won't be running in the GE ... so this kind of GE behavior by Hillary is confusing for them.

I thought it was a mistake for Hillary to suspend advertising in the primary and to focus on trump.

She has to fight on both fronts for the time being.

You are implying that because she's campaigning in KY that her campaign thinks that it's possible that she can lose the nomination. I don't think that's why she's there at all. She could lose all the upcoming primaries and still be the nominee, but that wouldn't be the ideal situation, because it would drive a negative media narrative going into the GE. Bernie has some favorable territory coming up in MT and the Dakotas, so it makes sense for her to make a small push (without spending a lot of money) to win KY.

You're implying that she's in KY because her campaign thinks she's still in danger of losing the nomination, I don't think that's the case at all. It's part of an overall GE strategy.

I think Hillary can still lose the nomination still to Bernie even though his chances has narrowed.
