Clinton can have the nomination locked up in 2 weeks

Post by awesome guy »

Even though sanders has flat out destroyed Clinton in NH and practically tied her everywhere else, Clinton is crushing Sanders in the delegate count thanks to the superdelegates. This is the worst case scenario for the democrats as the superdelegates are tilting the field towards the candidate with an impending FBI investigation over her emails and Clinton Foundation shenanigans. Rather odd situation as the superdelegates were supposed to save the party from this type of fate. Oh well, their loss is America's gain.

She will stop at nothing to get the nomination this time around.

Shouldn’t the national media be reporting how Hillary’s weak, unimpressive, embarrassing victory was achieved? The American people have a right to know there was nothing fair, decisive or ethical about it.

Now let’s look closely at how she achieved her razor-thin, embarassing victory. This is the part where serious questions should be asked. But of course we no longer have a professional unbiased media. We are living in a "Banana Republic" where the media is bought, paid for and in the bag for Hillary Clinton.

Here’s the part missing from mainstream media reporting- Hillary scored her win in Nevada by changing the rules at the last minute and playing "dirty politics" to avoid a humiliating defeat that might have sunk her entire presidential campaign.

Hillary was losing with days to go. Her team was in panic mode. Remember who this is- Hillary is the most famous woman in the history of politics. Yet she was going down to a humiliating defeat to unknown Vermont socialist kook Bernie Sanders. Her entire dream to win the presidency was in danger of imploding. Enter Nevada Senator Harry Reid.

Reid “fixed” the results for Hillary by twisting the arms of casino and union bosses.

College students are generally supposed to vote absentee from their home town, not from the location of their college - at least in Virginia.

You are considered a "resident" if you are living somewhere that you plan to stay for an indefinite period of time. If you are in college, you are not a resident unless you have moved off campus and plan to continue living there after graduation.

That never stopped the Democratic party's voter registration drives when I was in school. :D

You guys are afraid of Hillary? You would prefer Bernie to be nominated?

I mean, I'm not gonna vote GOP (until the crazy rebellion is put down)... but I do have a favorite in the race. If I wanted the GOP candidate that would most likely lose in the general... I would favor Trump. But I love my country more than I love any political party. So, I'm rooting for the best GOP candidate in the race... just in case they win. For me, that's Kasich.

So what are you guys rooting for in the party you will never vote for? And why?

The only people I'm aware of that are afraid of Hillary are people who have wronged the Clinton's as perceived by the Clinton's.

I'm still hoping the Democrats come to their collective senses and draft Mark Warner as the POTUS nominee.

And just to reiterate once again, a quote from the original article posted:
But superdelegates could switch candidates if Mr. Sanders is the overwhelming choice of regular voters.
I don't think Sanders is going to be done in by superdelegates. He's going to be done in by black voters and less liberal voters.
