I'd actually be fine with Bernie or Hilary, and think either would be Dumpf in the general. I know it looks like Bernie has a better chance, and he might, but Dumpf has so much baggage, has contradicted himself and lied so many times (on video), and so many prominent Republicans have derided him that I just don't see him winning in the general. I hope I'm not being a cockeyed optimist.

Oklahoma is a swing state? how?
Iowa was a tie, Nevada was not a very large victory for Clinton at all.

I guess Virginia is a swing state but it only narrowly went for Obama over Romney. I doubt Clinton will perform as well as him there in the general.

Massachusetts voters are 86% white!
Which goes to show that the corporate media narrative is wrong. Its not a skin color thing. Just as so much else is wrong with what we get from the corporate media. People are paying to get lied to.

Massive wins in two sparsely populated states? Do you understand the definition of 'massive'? That sounds like the antonym of massive, as in minor, token wins.

If Drumpf is the nominee, Hillary is on track to perform better in Virginia than Obama, who won the state twice.

RealClearPolitics - Election 2016 - Virginia: Trump vs. Clinton

And RCP hasn't updated this with the poll from yesterday that showed Hillary with an 8 point lead over the Bloated Birther Buffoon Drumpf.

I actually haven't seen any polls from Florida. Do you have any recent ones?

Alan Grayson (FL) was a huge and recent endorsement for Bernie there.

They are big because some crazy polling had Hillary way up in Minnesota and Colorado. Clinton wins the Confederacy hands down, but Sanders is the strongest general election candidate because he is doing so well among independents, young people and the white working class. Look at polls, it shows time and time again that Bernie performs better than Hillary against the GOP candidates.
