I'm saying she's already lost ~1% since that post, with less than 60%, she gets significantly less delegates than if she had gotten more. Also that he's not going to just endorse her and go away. After Trump savages Hillary for a couple months (either during the primary or after) the growing support may look better than the waning support of Hillary. | ||

Won't be surprised if a few months from now (provided the superdelegates side with Hillary) Democrats are falling at Sanders supporters feet for not giving up and keeping him around as a viable alternative. | ||

Expresses serious concerns about the voting in New York and that the Comptroller also spoke about a rash of "irregularities". Concerns about ~30% of registered voters being excluded from today's voting. Hillary not so concerned about them not being able to participate. | ||

Her campaign was talking about them all day but no matter how it turned out it did not matter. Even if it was enough to completely erase this deficit (which is unlikely but lets say somehow it draws him to a tie or even a 2 point win) then the deficit in pledged delagates is still far to big at this point in the election for him to come back on with proportional allocation especially with the coming states favoring her greatly. I agree its an issue and both sides spent all day complaining about it but at the end of the day its good this was discovered in an already decided primary instead of in a contested general election. | ||

That's because she needs to them to vote her or Cruz/Trump waltz right into the Oval office. Among Sander supporters her numbers are dismal. | ||

I believe in 2008 Obama was doing far worse among Hilary's voters around this time to the point where there was a serious concern that Hilary voters going for McCain could be what loses democrats an unlosable election. As for the general I honestly do not think she is as much worried about Trump or Cruz winning (there numbers are so dismal i wouldnt even worry about it) but she is worried about Bernie supporters staying home and not voting thus not giving her the numbers in congress she needs to do things. At her core she is a pragmatist and this is the more logical concern so its probably why she was talking about having plans to implement versions of Bernies ideas in her speech to try and make herself more acceptable in a general. | ||

Dems should be a lot more scared looking at those numbers then they are now I think. I would think the argument between the base being too unhappy to show up vs being too pissed at trump to not vote is not the one they want the election to be about. | ||

That's also the case for the Republican party, I really don't see how the alienation in the Democratic party is bigger than the respective Republican situation. Hillary doesn't need 100% of the Dem party she only needs to win the general election | ||
