You are probably right, unfortunately. Not sure if her growing up there has much to do with it though-most PA voters are too "tame" to vote for Bernie or even Trump probably.


I'm pretty excited for the DNC in Philly though-just hope Bernie stays in at least until then.

There's roughly 1200 delegates left in this month. It probably won't be over this month but I'd say Hillary would be 80% there. I'd be shocked if it lasts past April, you got New York and PA in that month and that will give her the knockout blow.

Democrats should just start the victory party now. Clinton will kill whoever comes out of the GOP side. Trump has effectively destroyed the Republican party from the inside out.

I wish I could be so sure...

The GOP may have a real problem with Trump. It had a real problem before Trump (just ask Boehner), but politics being what it is, all about power, surely the GOP would rather see Trump win the White House rather than let Hillary have it, and just as they have done everything possible to lay on the tracks in front of Obama's train, they will surely do the same against Hillary, for Trump.

From what I know about most conservatives, they will vote for anyone other than Hillary, no matter if it is even Trump.

People are far more likely to vote along party lines except for the Independents who could go either way. There is also what to consider as who knows how many people (especially Independents) don't vote at all, because they're fed up with the whole process.

It would be one thing if we thought that Hillary's better debate performance over Trump would make a difference, as surely she will take him apart in every intelligent manner possible, but I think Trump could just call Hillary ugly, and conservatives would love him for it! That seems all the sort of thing they need to hear, along with how Trump is going to make America great again (no details necessary), before they just can't wait to see Trump in the White House soon enough.

I'm not sleeping so well lately, and boy am I going to miss Obama either way...

Keep in mind, almost 90% of the people polled are over 50 years old. She is leading 82-16 among people over 70, while Sanders is leading among kids under 50. This is the power of the corporate media. Her lead among African Americans and people over 70 are truly at Kim Jong Un levels.

History is now in Hillary's favor. This ain't 2008. Bernie has not inspire voters like Barack Obama did.
The possible criminal indictment throws a monkey wrench into the whole thing. I think that is the wild card here.
