Hillary: Take your primary vote seriously

“This is an election that will have such profound impact so take your vote seriously. And for the Democratic voters, try to vote for the person you think is most likely to win because at the end of the day that is what will matter. And not just the popular vote, but the electoral college too.”

primary, is who the people feel should be their nominee, and we should all support that, regardless of our personal preferences, and telling people to step in line and vote for the most electable and put their personal feelings aside in the primary does not mean that person will win. People can vote whoever they wish for in a primary, that's what its for.

James Comey and his antics were not just one more external factor to overcome. He dominated that race from start to finish.

If Bernie Sanders or Martin O'Malley had been the nominee in 2016 then I am sure they would have found themselves under FBI investigation. And if Hillary did not have a private email server then she would have been under FBI investigation for something else.

Good point about William Barr. He is most likely planning something big for this election. Like Ken Starr, he is a fascist.

Fl. Has too many naturalized voters who had bad experiences with socialist governments, some of which Bernie supported.

Sanders fared better against Trump among Florida voters — 53% to 47% — than the other Democratic candidates.

The other matchups:

Biden, 51%; Trump, 49%.
Warren, 51%; Trump, 49%.
Buttigieg, 50%; Trump, 50%.
