Dems really should accept that Hillary is going to be the nominee. I can't stand her, but she's going to win. It's also becoming more and more likely that she's the next president if the GOP actually nominates Trump.

We can almost certainly look forward to four years of scandals, corruption, and expensive investigations. We will learn all kinds of new ways for a president to use their office for personal financial gain. Her nomination ceremony will begin a sad time for our democracy.

If Trump is the R nominee, many may switch over and lead him to a landslide victory. I do believe he could carry many D states like NY.

Trump carrying NY has to really worry the D Party leaders.
I'm not convinced that Trump would win New York. He's never won any election there, but Hillary has won statewide election there twice.

There you go. We'll have sponsors like Chase, Goldman Sacks advertising at the State of The Union addresses. It'll be like the Super Bowl ads.

Airforce 1 can be a flying Billboard for Doritos. All funds going to the Clinton Foundation.

Haha well the article calls the margin slipping as it went from 66-20 in October to 58-25 now
Right now sanders fans are whining how the system is unfair, but when we reach 15 March, many big states such as Texas Florida Illinois Ohio Georgia North Carolina Michigan will have voted and we will see if his fans will still complain.

Remember that Hillary carried many large states in 2008 against Obama, she only lost because she did bad in small state caucuses, and now she has 99% chance of carrying many big states according to FiveThirtyEight

It's over for Sanders. He did what he set out to do: move Hillary and the democrats to the left. His job now is to bow out gracefully and support the inevitable nominee. If he doesn't and the Rs prevail, all his work will be for nothing.

Nonsense. Clinton would never do such a thing!

She's far more likely to meet in quiet backrooms where she threatens CEO's if they don't donate. Then she'll use no-bid contracts to reward those who comply and the Justice department to punish those who don't.

No. He should run as an independent and do America the favor of helping the Republicans defeat Hillary. At least then we can avoid electing what will inevitably be the most corrupt administration in our history.

Looks like the GOP has gone the way of the Brazilian wax. Who will Jeb's supporters turn to now?

So did the 65+ crowd as the Nevada caucus goers skew much older than primaries. Free stuff to bankers, war corporations and more gifts to the pharma drug cartels who have donated big money to the campaign.
