You are deeply misinformed since Hillary has earned 1.4 million more votes nationally than Sanders so far.

She has won big in deep red states-where African Americans constitute nearly 90% of the Democratic voters. Bernie is winning in blue states and swing states. I'd be very nervous if I were a Clinton supporter.


Clinton's "firewall" cannot vote again. Those states are over with at this point.

I agree that the system is rigged for Clinton. I am sure she was promised this nomination if she supported Obama after they took her only chance at being POTUS away.

I don't trust anything with the Clinton name on it. Bernie is brave to face off against her since we know "stuff" happens to people that challenge the Clintons.

I thought Bernie supports democracy, but you are suggesting that some votes should not count in the nominating process...
And you are still Wrong, Hillary got 228,000 more votes than Sanders in the largest swing state that has voted, Virginia. Sanders only got 23,000 more votes than Hillary in Colorado...

You are being ignorant and stubborn for ignoring people's votes...

What?? When did I say that? I'm saying there are not many states like that left in the nominating process. Bernie is in the driver seat now.

I am supporting Sanders, have donated several times to his campaign, will vote for him in the Primary in NY next month. With that being said there are a few things that needed to be pointed out because wearen't doing ourselves any favors by not having a true realization where things stand at this point.

1. You are correct that Clinton has performed best on deep red states and the overall lean of the early Primary states tilts Republicans. However, the AA vote in some of these southern states whwile certainly more than 50%, isn't exactly near 90% either.

2. There are a few more of those states coming up (Louisiana, Mississippi)

3. Sanders could very well fair better in some of the remaining states than he has to this point, as many of them tend to be more liberal (especially among Democratic voters). However, its complete naive to think he is in the Driver's seat at at this point. clinton's margins in many of these states were large which has given her a 196 Pledged Delegate lead. That will not be easy to make up. Bernie still has a chance, no question this isn't over, but Clinton is clearly in the driver's seat
