What makes you think she is beating Bernie by a bunch?

I think the media is on the Clinton bandwagon and will do and say anything to help her get elected.

[Dave Stalwart]

That's interesting. Maybe they want to help build the wall?

Maybe we were all confused when he said, "if I'm elected president, we will build a wall, and Mexico will pay for it."

What he really meant was, "We will build a wall and our very own American Mexicans will pay for it AND build it."

That's some funny sh*t well done.

Last I saw, they were tied up in terms of state delegates. She has a ton more super delegates, but that's mostly a separate discussion. What makes you think she is beating Bernie by a bunch?

I guess you're right. 7 to 6 on state delegates, or so? I was giving too much weight for the superdelegates. I still think the tide is shifting heavily in her favor though, momentum-wise but it's too soon to say.

Polls indicate Clinton has been at best holding, but usually losing support. She has been way ahead in South Carolina and will win there, but it will be somewhat closer than the super super landslide she once expected. I think you must be only attending to mainstream media and the establishment demo's hopes.

There should be a pretty good read on the Democratic primary after March 15th. I think Sanders still has the momentum but he needs to over take her in enough States by that time to set up wins in New York and California.

I guess it depends on your definition of "bunch", but Bernie is trailing in the following latest polls by what I would say is a bunch.

NJ 55 to 32
MD 58 to 28
Georgia 57 to 29
Ohio 55 to 40
Texas 54 to 44
NC 51 to 36
Illinois 51 to 32
Utah 51 to 44
MI 60 to 27

he is winning
WVa 57 to 29

I think Bernie will be returning to the "Weekend at Bernies" next week.

Well yes I am not following the Dems at all, but it just seems like the numbers keep falling in her favor at each glance. Maybe they are trending the wrong direction for her, and I am just looking at a snapshot of the current data and fooling myself. It just seems like the media is saying Bernie, Bernie, Bernie but any number I see that flashes across my screen says Hillary.

Dude. This was a landslide of epic proportions. Bernie is toast.

[WuDrWu]

It seems ironic to me that the party that "claims" to be progressive has run, not walked, to the nearest old school establishment candidate it could find.

While the backwards, never change same ole same ole party punted the oldest of the oldest establishment, the Bush, and still has 2 hispanics, a black man and a complete outsider as candidates.

But keep listening to the even handed "mainstream" media.

Yes, disappointing Sanders didn't connect at all with older African Americans. He needs to find a way. Many just want to beat the Republican Party and think Hillary is the answer. I think they are wrong. But no call on this until March 15th. For Doc, I could of used the term "White Party" instead of Republican Party, which I've seen in Black political on-line sites. Ben Carson's politics are rejected by the vast majority of his race.

Big news of the day is Rep.Tulsi Gabbard's endorsement of Sanders. A rising star on the left, and a potential V.P. pick for Sanders.

Why do black Americans reject the Republican Party?

[tropicalshox]

Besides the perceived political history of the 1960s the Republicans have failed to convince African Americans that they care.

If you Google your question, you will find some articles on this from the Republican perception.

[pinstripers]

As LBJ famously said, "I'll have them **ggers voting Democrat for the next two hunnerd years!"

[tropicalshox]

Yep, LBJ was something else. Of course he also know he was giving the South to the Republicans.
