Oh now a big list of people supposedly "tied to the Obama government" is supposed to tell me that Obama does whatevery Wall St. says. This is conspiracy theory logic. Baffling brains with ******** with a good deal of Gish Galloping for good measure. Don't insult my intelligence...

And that so many of the names on that list just Happen to be Jewish also sort of makes it suspect in my mind.

That race is over. I have to wait to see who is on the ballot in Nov before deciding. Thus, Hillary vs ?????.

Yeah, Hilary to get the Democratic Nod is a done deal.
Sanders is already getting hints from his fellow Dem.Senators to hang it up,and allow the Dems to sit back and enjoy the spectacle of the GOP ripping itself to shreds.

So you think that Bill's penis is going to weight into the elecion, that BENGHAZIII!!!! is going to influence the election, and that the FBI is going to put Hilary in jail... dude, thinking Sanders has a chance at the nom is more sane than this....

He's been saying for like a year now that the only way Hillary stays out of prison is if Obama pardons her. LOL.

Why would he quit when his campaign has made more money than Hillary's lately (February numbers), and most of his contributions are coming from parts of the map that have yet to vote? That's absurd, not to mention insulting. Furthermore, dropping out would NOT help the democratic party. On the contrary, it garners interest in the process to continue it. Even if he does lose, it's not the right answer for EITHER campaign to call for him to pull out. He's not exactly slinging a lot of mud -- not nearly what's available anyway. He doesn't even -mention- the email thing, for instance.

Why don't Hillary-ites just realize that the reason that campaigns quit is because they run out of money, and he's not going to run out of money -- mainly due to the nature of his campaign financing strategy. It's not a bad thing. It's a good thing for BOTH candidates, and a good thing for the party as a whole.

Would the Superbowl contenders somehow have greater esteem if their opponents just quit at halftime in the playoffs as well?

Long way to go, what with Billy Boy completely trodding on his tallywacker again, Hillay showing incipient dementia, the Benghazi report and the big reveal by the FBI/DOJ it is a long way off, thank god.

Still time to save the Party and put up a solid electable candidate against Donald.

How much money did Rubio have when he quit?
 
I think most democrats realize that it is good for democracy for Bernie to continue his run, can't hurt it. Same as it is good for science papers to continue to have criticism. This is a common belief. But saying it's good to continue criticism isn't the same as asking us to believe that it's plausibly true it's right, calm down... ;)

Lets not kid ourselves, does anyone really doubt that if a Republican* wins in November that the only way Hillary does not get indicted is through an Obama pardon.

/might not apply to Trump, given how buddy buddy the Clintons and Trump have always been.

So which Republican candidate are you thinking of?

The Republican side was in an entirely different situation. The Dem side only has two. There's a difference, and it's a huge one.

Also, Bernie not only won his home state, he won every single delegate in his home state in a proportional assignment situation (and he's won other states as well -- by large margins in some cases). Rubio didn't win a single state. Also, Bernie can still legitimately win, despite the fact that many consider it unlikely. Rubio couldn't have won.

So yeah... maybe my statement could use some qualifications, but it still applies quite well in the current situation.

The absolute only reason Republicans pretend that they care about the emails is because they really, badly do not want Hillary to be President. If she loses, it will be the end of her career and Republicans will forget about her and her emails.

Your statement didn't appear to be limited to Democrats.

What does this have to do with your claim that "the reason that campaigns quit is because they run out of money"? Rubio had money, he quit when it became obvious he couldn't win. Sanders has money, it's obvious to all but the most diehard that he can't win, but he's staying in it.

Well, you could be pedantic, or you could, as an alternative, accept that I was talking about situations that are at least remotely similar to the one I was addressing. It's got nothing to do with what party I was talking about. That's not the meaningful difference here.
