    He's dumb. He's not poorly educated.

    The Sanders thing is a reactionary movement that some are caught up in without knowing anything about it.

    But, when you look at states, with large African-Amercan populations going for Hillary 85-15, when their positions on the issues are so similar, that's not because people made an informed decision.

    That's name recognition, inertia, and group think.

    To paraphrase a respected poster, she's famous.

    Well, it's also decades of ground work by the Clinton Machine to court and secure those voters.

    No it's not.

    What ground work have they done in Mississippi for the last two decades.

    She's the most famous person to ever run for office. Don't be blind to the obvious.

    Also, Clinton is more closely identified with the Obama administration, having served in its cabinet, than is Sanders.

    The #NeverTrump movement has mobilized so late, that their attack ads are just going to help him in a general election.

    HE'S NOT A CONSERVATIVE isn't going to hurt him.

    Except that hasn't Bill Clinton always done exceptionally well with black voters?

    Fascinated by the Michigan vote. In a state with union workers and a sizable minority population, how in the world did she lose?

    Curious as to how much of the white union workers went to Sanders or even Trump instead of Clinton.

    Did non-white voters just stay home or did they also vote for her?

    When is Hillary going to start attacking Bernie and proving to us she has, ahem, the balls to take on Trump?

    “I hope someone sends Bernie directions to the Democratic Convention...I think it will be the former socialists’ first one!”

    “I am so happy Bernie supports Obamacare now, I just wish he had been more supportive in the Senate and then maybe we could have had a better law”

    “I am intrigued by Bernie’s plan to give free college education to everyone on the government’s dime. What’s he planning next? A unicorn petting zoo on the South Lawn of the White House?”

    HRC needs to starting bringing it.

    Yes. Sure.

    And, as his wife, she'd famous.

    Her long time relationship with the African-Amercan community didn't do shit for her in 2008.

    They don't love her. They just know her much better than the old, white, Jewish guy, from some cold weather state, who sounds like he's from Brooklyn.

    Every one of those statements would cost her some support, solidify Sanders's existing support, and gain her no additional support.

    I wonder why that was.

    Memo to Hillary: please follow TV's advice.
