[font color=blue]Hillary's Group~Mahalo~Congratulations to Hillary Clinton and to her Supporters Everywhere; Across the Country and Across the World!!~

[Renew Deal]

1. Tad

Devine

[Cha]

3. His big ideas?

[Tarheel_Dem]

6. Tad....still battin' a thousand!

[Cha]

24. I wonder if it were his idea to bludgeon her with the Rahm association in Illinois, too? Because

I am so glad that didn't work.

[CalvinballPro]

83. Can't help but notice some of the parallels between this year and 2008...

Like how Clinton is using 2008 Obama's successful delegate strategy and Sanders is using 2008 Clinton's unsuccessful state wins strategy. Bernie's campaign has even been vocal lately about trying to "flip" delegates, both pledged and super-delegates, which is basically the argument Clinton tried when she was badly behind and knew she would not be able to catch up on pledged delegates. Sanders even has his own "Mark Penn" in Tad Devine. Both Devine and Penn are consultants who deceived their own campaigns for their own enrichment.

But I supported Clinton in 2008, and she campaigned pretty deep into the calendar, so I'm not trying to imply Sanders should drop out. I'm just pointing out that we already know the script for this play, and ultimately, the ending.

[Firebrand Gary]

2. This was a historic night, this is the night where we won the nomination!

Congratulations to everyone! Together we're going to keep the Presidency, we're going to win the Senate and very likely take back the House of Representatives.

[Cha]

5. Mahalo, Firebrand Gary.. I'm so glad we're a part of it!

[Cha]

12. Despite Trump's remarkable FL victory and higher R turnout, Clinton still won more FL votes.

More Good News!

[chwaliszewski]

22. Not To Be Parade Rain...

but first off, conrats to Team Hillary for an impressive sweep tonight. I thought Bernie would at least get MO but the voters have spoken. I'd like to point out that there has been no nomination won as of yet. I look forward to the second half of this ballgame.

[72DejaVu]

38. Probably not as much as we do

[Cha]

80. You're not raining on anyone's parade.. Hillary's winning the popular vote, the delegates and the

Super Dels. We just need to wrap this up.

[chwaliszewski]

90. That Is Precisely...

the sort of arrogance that will keep voters home in the GE. I live in WA state and would like a say in the primary process before wrapping this up for your anointed one, thank you very much.

[Cha]

91. BS idle threats don't mean anything. Stay home and stamp your little feet. We'll do the

work.

[Cha]

92. Yes, you got blocked for that. I'm not wasting my time answering you in a PM.

You come into our group to disrupt you get blocked. Very simple.

Hillary supporters going into the BS group get blocked too in case you weren't aware of it.

[Spazito]

4. Awesome OP, Cha!

Hillary shattered the glass ceiling into a million tiny pieces tonight!

[Cha]

10. Mahalo, Spazito.. I was looking for the Big H Graphic that Shatters the Glass Ceiling

but I can't locate it right now.. so we'll just have to imagine it since you so astutely brought it up!

[BlueCaliDem]

43. How do you like this one, Cha?

[Cha]

44. I love it, BlueCali! Even more than the one I was looking for.. it's all

colorful. I see the blue sky.. and I see a red heart in there!

Mahalo~

[BlueCaliDem]

45. I'm happy to hear it because I made it especially for you.

You're welcome, Cha!

[Cha]

48. Oh Wow.. you made it! That's Awesome.. so creative~ Now I have to put it in my

Journal so I'll have it the next the time I need the Glass Ceiling Shattered symbol!



BlueCali~

[BlueCaliDem]

52. Yes, I did, Cha, and I'm happy you like it. And thank you for the compliments!

What a wonderful morning, isn't it?

[Cha]

54. Yes it is! So very nice to have the Reality Revolution Sweeping the Day,

on the Ides of March.. Now we know who needed to beware.

[riversedge]

53. Love you glass ceiling shattering poster. I am going to pouch it.

[BlueCaliDem]

55. Thanks, rivers! Feel free! I made it for Cha because she was a little sad that she couldn't find

the other glass-shattering "H", so I decided to make one for her. But, of course, any and all DUer may use it.

And, may I add, I'm flattered you like it, too.

[katmille]

57. Awesome, where do you get these?

These are great! You and Cha have the BEST graphics!
I have to be happy viewing other Hill Group's posts and put in my occasional smilies:

[BlueCaliDem]

58. Aw thanks, katmille. I made it - I make most of my graphics. lol

I'm happy you like it. Feel free to use it - but you might need to ask Cha since I made it for her. lol

[BlueMTexpat]

88. Great one, BlueCaliDem!

One for the ages indeed!

[BlueCaliDem]

89. Aw, thanks, BlueMTexpat. I appreciate it.

[sheshe2]

93. Spectacular!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Tarheel_Dem]

7. I bet I know who Barack & Michelle voted for.

[Cha]

11. That's right in Illinois by absentee ballot! thank you for that reminder~

Did you see I gave you a shout-out by the North Carolina Tweet, Tarheel?

[Tarheel_Dem]

14. I saw that, and thank you. I clicked on the tweet, but how do you find the turnout numbers?

[Cha]

15. Early voting in NC draws record turnout .. Nice pic @ the link!

snip//

Registered Democrats outnumber Republicans in the state by 40.6 percent to 30.5 percent. Democrats
cast 45.3 percent of the early ballots, while Republicans cast 31.7 percent. For Democrats, that’s about the same as 2012, when they cast 45.5 percent of the early votes. Republican early turnout was down from 33.8 percent in 2012.


http://www.newsobserver.com/news/politics-government/state-politics/article66053727.html

[Tarheel_Dem]

17. Wow. That is so cool. I was an "early" absentee voter.

[Cha]

18. Maybe there's a chance we could take North Carolina in November!?

Get James Taylor down there.. pull out all the Heavy artillery so to speak!




to there being so many of you, Tarheel!

[Tarheel_Dem]

19. Fingers & toes crossed.

When you get a chance you'll probably love Nate Silver's post primary podcast. Some serious truths being discussed about the way forward for BS. It's about the 16 min mark is where they start to discuss the Democrats.

46. subscribed to their 538 podcasts on itunes

can't wait to listen to this!!

Thanks for voting in NC!! You guys/gals sure brought it!!

[Tarheel_Dem]

69. Well, we try. Let's hope the same NC coalition that sent Obama to the WH in '08, can pull it off...

again in '16.

[brer cat]

65. I know a few NC republicans

who are already saying they are voting for Hillary. I hope they represent a large number!!!

[Tarheel_Dem]

70. I'm hearing the same thing on the ground. My boss' father, who is a dyed-in-the-wool Republican...

says that the only thing that could ever make him pull the lever for a Democrat is Donald Trump as the Republican nominee. He can't stand him.

Hillary!

[BlueMTexpat]

23. Cha - I am just SO happy

for Hillary AND for the country AND the world.

She has fought the hard fight. There is still a ways to go. But I have no doubt that she will continue and not rest on her laurels. She will build on her base and attract the non-crazies from everywhere.

She has been the best candidate in a hard-fought primary and Bernie has been a surprisingly resilient and worthy opponent. I wish that MOM could have lasted longer because he was also a worthy opponent. We Dems are blessed with our candidates. The other side - NOT so much.

I don't really have time to look through all the posts this am to ensure that my link below is not repetitive. I'm flying west to visit family in MT and my youngest granddaughter (9) in NV and won't be back until just before Easter so will likely not be on-line as much as recently.

But this seems a great OP for posting this link, if it hasn't already been posted and I hope that, if it hasn't someone else will post it as an OP. Things look VERY good for our historical candidate Hillary!

Hillary Clinton Versus Donald Trump: The Battle Ahead http://www.newyorker.com/news/john-cassidy/hillary-clinton-versus-donald-trump-the-battle-ahead

At about eight-thirty last night, after the news came in that Donald Trump had trounced Marco Rubio in Florida, and that Hillary Clinton had won big victories over Bernie Sanders in Florida and North Carolina, Tony Fratto, who was a White House spokesman for George W. Bush’s Administration, tweeted, “What essentially happened today is @HillaryClinton was elected president. We have 8 months of hyperventilating before its official.”

Since overstatement is the norm on Twitter, this divination perhaps didn’t merit much attention, taken on its own. But it reflected a growing belief among Republicans in Washington that Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are unstoppable, and that, come November, this will spell disaster for the Grand Old Party. By the end of the night on this Ides of March, the third successive primary Tuesday, the gloom in the Republican establishment had deepened further, as both Clinton and Trump had taken huge steps toward securing their respective parties’ nominations.

I love all in the HCG and any Sanders supporters who will join us to defeat the GOP in the GE!

That is the most important thing of all. I'll also be happy to see those who have been so unfairly and constantly silenced return among us once again.

[Cha]

81. “What essentially happened today is @HillaryClinton was elected president. We have 8 months of

hyperventilating before its official.”

8 long months, BlueMTex!


Thank you for this compelling article from The New Yorker.. sorry, I took so long to respond. I was going to last night and I got a call and I'm just now getting back to it.

I'll see if it's been posted here tomorrow and if not I'll post it. Mahalo for your exuberant post!

Have a wonderful time with your granddaughter and your family! So happy for you!

[BlueMTexpat]

82. Hi Cha!

In eastern MT now and very much enjoying family and friends here, ALL of whom are ecstatic and exuberant over Clinton's sweep on Tuesday! So much for "no enthusiasm for Clinton," LOL. I'll head for the western side later and NV next week.

The primary here is on June 7. http://www.270towin.com/2016-democratic-nomination/montana-primary

If the election were purely among Dems, Clinton would have very good odds of winning in MT. But it is an open primary, so Bernie could do very well here, although that is not so much of a given after Tuesday's results as it would otherwise have been.

No prob with the tardy reply. I read Skinner's OP and am delighted to see so MANY wonderful posters back on the board, presumably to stay, and have enjoyed and K&R'ed the various celebratory threads about them!

It is telling that I have seen no equivalent celebratory threads in the SBS group (perhaps there have been some that I missed), and I noticed an OP about that here. Instead, what I have seen are various threads wanting to know why PPR'ed individuals cannot be welcomed back.

Double standards all over the place, it seems. But our candidate is STILL the best AND she is winning!

[Cha]

85. Oh wow, Blue.. thank you for that report from Montana.. I'm so happy for you

being with your family all over the place!

I'm hoping Hillary gets enough fantastic momentum from Super Tues to carry her through in the other states next Tuesday.. especially Arizona.

Yeah, it was mostly Hillary supporters who were forced out by the bogus alerts and stacked juries. So happy Skinner let them back. It's what we lobbied for and we got it!

So proud and ecstatic of all our Hillary supporters~

[Surya Gayatri]

25. Outspent her 2 to 1, 3 to 1, and still his "revolution" didn't catch fire.

Speaks volumes about his appeal to the wider electorate.

[Cha]

26. Maybe it was the wrong message.. whatever it was the Dems weren't having any..

Thank you for addressing what is in the OP, Surya! I thought it was muy interesante!

And, how about BS trying to relentlessly tie Hillary to Rahm in Illinois~Hillary's birth state.. I'm thinking they spent a pretty penny on that ad blitz, too.

[Surya Gayatri]

27. And, His Pureness dares to say that he NEVER goes negative...

Pffffttttt!

[BlueCaliDem]

78. Yeah, well, he can't sell those anti-Rahm ads as positive nor issues. That was outright negative

campaigning. I hope Vermonters are paying attention!

[Her Sister]

49. many reasons!

I think the debates/town-halls could be one reason. Perhaps it finally clinched that someone was being repetitive and not answering questions about their big plans, while the other someone was just more than ready to take the job from day 1 !

[DemonGoddess]

28. K&R!

Very, VERY happy with last night's results!

[Cha]

29. And, with MO, Ill, and Ohio having Open Primaries we knew it could go either way,

DemonGoddess!

I'm so glad Hillary Won her birth place of Illinois even after BS pounded her with association to Rahm.. like she wasn't her own person.

[book_worm]

30. Our turnout in IL was excellent compared to the GOP side as well.

[Cha]

31. Good to know, book! And, Hillary won her birth state even though

BS was pounding her with her relationship to Rahm like she wasn't her own person.

That must have sucked to have spent all the ad $$$$ on Rahm.

[NurseJackie]

32. Very interesting. Even after all that effort ...

... and money, he still couldn't win.

[Cha]

33. All that dough and 3 Open Primary states.. Ohio, Hillinois, & MO!

Mahalo, Jackie~

[NurseJackie]

34. I'd forgotten about that! That's even MORE impressive ...

... for Hillary! She done good!

[Cha]

75. And, Ohio! Hillary slams the door on Bernie

snip//

But if Florida was a bonanza that widened the delegate gap between them, Ohio was the wild card win that allowed Clinton to shift her gaze forward -- her 13-point victory represented a staggering blow to Sanders, who was not able to translate his economic message and opposition to foreign trade deals into success in Ohio and Illinois. In the other industrial Midwestern states to vote Tuesday, Clinton held a slight lead in Missouri with 99 percent of the vote in.

The Clintons had deeper roots in Ohio, which the Democratic frontrunner won eight years ago, and had more union backing there than she did in Michigan. That contributed to big wins across the state -- she won early voters by over 40 points in Cleveland; by almost 30 in Columbus; by almost 40 in Cincinnati; and by over 40 in Dayton, a Clinton campaign aide said, crediting campaign manager Robby Mook’s game plan for the resounding win.

36. Sanders did outspend Clinton in a couple of states

Sanders did outspend Clinton in the March 15 primaries http://www.nbcnews.com/meet-the-press/sanders-narrowly-outspends-clinton-ads-march-15-states-n538836

Bernie Sanders has outspent Hillary Clinton in advertisements in the March 15 primary states, $6.3 million to $5.3 million overall, including in Missouri, North Carolina and Ohio, according to ad-spending data from SMG Delta.

Clinton, meanwhile, has outspent Sanders in Florida and Illinois.

I admit that I am impressed by the Sanders fundraising efforts but I am glad that Clinton kept the margins close enough to win. In 2012, President Obama was outspent by the GOP and Romney but still won.

[Cha]

41. I love it.. "narrowly" is a $Million dollars!

Bernie Sanders has outspent Hillary Clinton in advertisements in the March 15 primary states, $6.3 million to $5.3 million overall, including in Missouri, North Carolina and Ohio, according to ad-spending data from SMG Delta.

Hillary got more bang for her buck$$$$$$!

President Obama got outspent by RMoney but he had Obama.. and Hillary will have Obama in the 2016 GE like she campaigned for him in 2008.

I love it.. full circle!

[72DejaVu]

39. Ironically, Bernie proved his point.

The side with the most money CAN be beaten.

[pandr32]

62. Oh well! It's only money!

And remember that Jane Sanders is positioned to receive a commission on ad buys! (No sarcasm--she is officially in this position within the campaign).
They will have one hell of a book to promote when it is all over as well, no doubt. Sanders (both of them) will also likely be sought after for speaking engagements after the National campaign has brought lots of celebrity to them, too, just like so many other high profile people. With all their new-found clout maybe the Sanders would actually head up a charitable foundation to further some of their causes.
You never know!

[murielm99]

68. I don't believe he will stay in the Senate.

There is too much money out there for him, and for Jane, to scoop up. Also, the Democratic Party, the one he has used and disdained, may decide to run a strong Democrat against him in the near future. He could lose an election against a real opponent. If he does stay, he deserves to be given meaningless committee assignments and obscure jobs. He has earned that.

[pandr32]

I guess much of what happens next depends on how Sanders handles himself now!
