This is why it's time to start holding ALL primaries on the same day. That way, the entire rest of the country won't be influenced by a select few states.

Obama won because he got massive wins in small state caucuses and got more delegates in the end.
Hillary got like a 40% margin of victory among hispanics in Nevada in 2008. What was her margin of victory today among hispanics?

She has about as much excitement surrounding her campaign as a graveyard, thats why young people and non-traditional voters shun her like crazy.
Hillary is crazy and Rubio is more of a Hawke than bush was in his last 4 years. More wars and dead bodies ahead, Yippie yea.


Honestly Americans including myself deserve this future for falling for the same lies over the past 40 years

They could get discouraged seeing him go down in flames over the coming weeks and forget that it is Clinton who has battled for them for decades while Sanders accomplished nothing.

I like your choice in words!

This will ensure that only the Koch brothers and Wall Street can win the "elections". Its already rapidly turning into a sham, where its becoming increasingly impossible too run without begging the Koch bros, Sheldon Adelson and a few other billionaires for money. By holding all primaries on the same day, grassroots candidates dont stand a chance at all. Its rapidly turning into a plutocracy already. This might be the last election a candidate funded by the people and not the billionaire elites can run a competitive race.

Let's see. Shillary will likely get this country into wars, will give illegals a path to citizenship...sucks for American citizens! They'll be the ones paying the tab for all of this.

That won't be known for awhile. Last I checked, the heavily (i.e., almost 100%) hispanic precinct results weren't in.

Goodbye democracy. I guess I can vacation over to Mexico or Ecuador to experience a real one in the future.

Her margin of victory overall is so small I doubt she even won the majority of hispanic voters. Down from an almost 40% margin in 2008 against Obama. Hispanics are not feeling Hillary anymore.
