She swept primary challenger Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) in five states, effectively ending his chances of securing the Democratic presidential nomination. But buried within the clear victory was a troubling trend for the party front-runner: She is doing a terrible job turning out voters, particularly in the states that will matter most in a November matchup against Donald Trump.<br /><br />http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/clinton-trump-ohio_us_56e9a0b8e4b065e2e3d8314cBud Meyershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02065020063363023395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7895164153505105997.post-49252913315294823122016-03-16T14:22:59.163-07:002016-03-16T14:22:59.163-07:00In Ohio, she ran about even with Sanders among whi...In Ohio, she ran about even with Sanders among white voters.

That’s nothing new. They’ve been singing that tune since before the primary even started. But every single week, Bernie’s support gets stronger and stronger. Tonight, Bernie’s North Carolina performance was 15 points better than his South Carolina performance last month, and 5 points better than his Virginia performance two weeks ago. This is a close race, and it will be contested in every state. The fact of the matter is that the first half of the primary schedule favored Clinton. The second half will favor Bernie. The only question is whether it will be enough. We intend to do everything we can to make sure it is.”<br /><br />http://www.thenation.com/article/clinton-had-a-very-good-night-but-the-democratic-race-is-far-from-finished/ <br /><br />The rest of the primary calendar is more favorable to Sanders ... But the establishment remains unified in the face of the Sanders insurgency, which would be reason enough for Sanders to carry on his fight all the way to Philadelphia — even if it really were mathematically impossible for him to win the nomination (a point we are still unlikely to reach before California votes on June 7). The strength of Sanders’s challenge, and the enthusiasm of his supporters, have already pulled Hillary Clinton off dead center on police violence, trade policy, access to education, and making the wealthy pay their share of taxes. [Not that she'll actually ever advocate for those things if she becomes president]. But as long as Bernie stays in the race, and stays true to his beliefs, Sanders will keep winning those arguments — even if Clinton’s willingness to steal her opponent’s best ideas, and even some of his best lines — to help her to win voters who will be crucial in defeating Trump in November. Turnout remains the Democrats’ Achilles heel: in Ohio, where Trump came second, he still got more votes than either Democrat. Are the odds against Bernie? Of course. That’s what it means to live inside a rigged system.<br /><br />http://www.thenation.com/article/the-fight-for-bernies-political-revolution-is-not-over/<br /><br />In the comments section Gerry Cullen says: If elected Billary would drop the progressive talk and become the coporate poodle that she really is. This primary has shown how corrupt she and the DNC really are. Thanks to Bill and Hill the Democratic Party has long left the working people behind. Many voters see this, that's why the Dems lost big in 2014. And now if the DNC has it's way and Billary is the candidate the Democrats will lose the White House too.<br /><br />[* No, "Billary" is not a sexist remark. It is a definition for the Clinton team of Bill and Hillary, and putting both pathological liars back in the White House again for what could be another 8 years — making it a total of 16, more than FDR — who had won 4 legitimate consecutive terms by national landslides.]<br />Bud Meyershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02065020063363023395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7895164153505105997.post-44352268877386927932016-03-16T09:39:57.327-07:002016-03-16T09:39:57.327-07:00The rest of the primary calendar is more favorable...The rest of the primary calendar is more favorable to Sanders ...

So while shoving this corporate-sponsored trade deal down our throats, she claims she didn't know what she was shoving? Bernie made a point of saying he's for "fair" trade deals, not deals that only helps big multi-national corporations. <br /><br />New York Times (January 8, 1996) New York Times: "Americans of all political persuasions are coming to the sad realization that our First Lady — a woman of undoubted talents who was a role model for many in her generation — is a congenital liar."<br /><br />http://www.nytimes.com/1996/01/08/opinion/essay-blizzard-of-lies.html<br /><br />Yes, Ohio is one very stupid state.<br />Bud Meyershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02065020063363023395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7895164153505105997.post-39321971409312249392016-03-16T08:41:42.100-07:002016-03-16T08:41:42.100-07:00Illinois is dumb too, but with all the corruption ...Illinois is dumb too, but with all the corruption in Chicago, it was a toss up.Bud Meyershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02065020063363023395noreply@blogger.com
