Here's a real shocker:
We are going to lose Saturday. And we will lose the so called SEC states on 3/1.
Again, this is not unexpected. But something is happening that is really hurting us and we need to ramp up our efforts on the ground.
Nevada, while Clinton was favored, has now become the state where "she found here mojo" again. That is the narrative being fed all throughout this country and they are trying to use Saturday as the "nail in the coffin" for us.
All of us have talked about this being a movement. Well we need to move now. We need calls made in the states that we NEED to win on 3/1 through 3/15. For instance, Colorado and Massachusetts may look good right now. But a big loss in SC could change everything if people are being fed misinformation about our chances going forward.
Even Matt Freaking Drudge is trying to frame this weekend as the death-knell for Bernie. Ask yourself why this is? He HATES Hillary. They smell blood and want to face her badly. They have the attacks ready and now they are laying off her a bit.
We need to stay the course. I got discouraged myself last night and almost watched tv instead of doing my nightly volunteering. This is bigger than me. It's bigger than all of us.
Stay the course. If we can get to 3/22 in tact, we are in for a month of victories leading us toward the big prizes at the end.
We have no other choice.
Enjoy the day.

If you aren't, you can catch 25 to 1 odds and perhaps you may get rich.

(39,451 posts)as Sec of State, Senator and First lady. Not only that - she ran in 2008 for President. This is her 2nd time around this block.
She can look at the states where she lost, or wished she had done better and learn from that.
We've got to keep things in perspective, keep your eyes on the prize & do not let Sat get us down.

(39,451 posts)I totally agree with SheenaR - they want to run against Hillary. We all have seen the match-ups & we know why.

(13,877 posts)Trump's landslide is a warning for Democrats. And Independents want it, or they wouldn't be Independents. So, that doesn't leave many paths to the White House. I read a lot about what the Republicans will do...well, they don't want a Democratic establishment candidate either.
Hopefully Bernie, the gentleman, gets stronger in reminding folks of her record. (Hating and Smears, to some) He does better than Trump (or any of the other Republican wannabes who will never be) in match up after match up.
HRC will never get to the White House. There are not enough votes in the LaLa land of the dwindling Clinton Dynasty.
Trump handily ended the Bush Dynasty.

(11,546 posts)Hillary minions around here. Because people listen to the MSM and may think "so why vote now if Hillary has it sewn up?". I WISH that Bernie would put out a few messages stating this. It may help to keep people engaged.
edit - may I suggest posting this in the GDP? Just to let the Hillary supporters know that we're on to their plan and it won't work? Just a thought.

(2,052 posts)When someone is trolling and clearly doesn't read the OP and comments ignorantly, I think calling them a troll is factual.
Jury disagreed.
And that poster is a habitual offender. Their crap is getting old.

(11,546 posts)The jury system is highly flawed. People vote based on their candidate of choice, not the actual rules anymore.
