It's Time For Hillary To Drop Out

By Jeff Simpson

Hillary Clinton, went further this primary season than some might have imagined at the outset, but despite her significant accomplishments, her race to the White House is over. Democrats will head into November with Bernie Sanders as their standard-bearer to face off against Donald Trump (assuming he survives an attempted coup by his party’s establishment).

In short, there is no plausible route for Clinton to overcome the momentum Sanders enjoyed with 8 straight wins. Since the former first lady leads the pledged delegate race but the lead is declining.   Unfortunately, the poorly named "super delegates" have decided that the people's voice does not matter and are trying to steal the election for Hillary Clinton.

That's just not going to happen. 

Clinton beat Sanders in the South where Democrats have not done well since Nixon.   She beat him in Florida where they have elected a person who gained his fortune by defrauding medicare. She beat him in white-dominated industrial states like Ohio but since then has taken a beating in the industrial heartland.

In caucus states, Bernie has dominated all but two, both of which leave serious doubts about who actually won.  While Caucuses might not be the most democratic process they are much more intimate where people show up who are passionate about their candidate.   It has been such a white washing in Caucuses, that the Clinton campaign and her Hillarybots keep pushing the false narrative that she is leading the popular vote.   Caucuses mean that that state does not have a primary so popular vote is not and can not be counted.   Its  misleading and meaningless and the Clinton campaign knows that!  

The problem is after performing poorly in the southern states, the Clinton campaign keeps trying to push the false meme that Mr. Sanders does not have the support of  African-Americans, Hispanics and Asians.  Blatantly false.   

The second half of the primary schedule looks far more favorable to Sanders. Caucuses in Idaho, Alaska, Hawaii, North Dakota, Wyoming and Washington should favor Sanders, as well as primaries in places like Oregon and Utah.

But he would still need to perform exceedingly well in states like New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, as more and more people hear his message and the momentum builds it can happen.   . 

While we need to eventually get rid of the ridiculous super delegate hijacking of our elections, we have to keep pointing out that the super delegates are what is making the math so hard.   They pledged early to Ms. Clinton so people who would normally support Mr. Sanders would think it is an impossibility that he gets elected and vote for Hillary.  

Disgusting how badly some people need power.

Clinton is obviously free to stay in the race so long as hier supporters keep funding her efforts, she is heading to Hong Kong soon for a fundraiser with Goldman Sachs. But no one should get angry when the rest of the party starts focusing on the Trump threat.

All's Well That Ends Well

We know that Mitt Romney felt that 47% of the country, are just takers, who refuse to work for a living.  47% will never ever vote for the presidential candidate who refuses to keep giving them handouts and make them actually work for a living! 

Well Mitt was right in terms of 47% and wrong in terms of who those 47% support!  

When all the votes are counted, could Mitt Romney really end up achieving perfect poetic justice by finishing with 47 percent of the national vote? Yup. Dave Wasserman of the nonpartisan Cook Political Report says new votes in from Maryland put Romney at 47.56 percent. He predicts with certainty that with all of New York and California counted, Romney will end up below 47.5 percent of the vote.

Rounded, of course, that would put the final tally at 51-47. Anticipating this moment, Markos Moulitsas has inaugurated the “Romney 47 percent watch.”

Karma is a bitch!
