should we ???? with Sanders still in the way



SEATTLE — Hillary Clinton’s high-level bundlers and donors are increasingly urging the campaign to direct more attention to Donald Trump, and begin the process of tearing the bark off the billionaire they expect will be the Republican nominee.
In weekly conference calls, periodic meetings and closed-door campaign fundraising events, a vocal group of Clinton’s top funders are calling for a more immediate and aggressive approach to Trump, reflecting a sense of urgency born of the real estate developer’s domination of news cycle after news cycle.
"There are those of us who recognize that a Trump candidacy is a very serious threat. In Minnesota we lived through this in 1998, when Jesse Ventura was elected," explained Ken Martin, the chairman of Minnesota's Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party and a Clinton fundraiser. "The concern for me at the DFL is that there's a complacency among some party leaders who don't believe that he's electable. The more that people believe that, the more dangerous it gets."

... she should wait until the nomination is officially or mathematically hers. As threatening as Trump might be to the country, he won't defeat Hillary. I'm hoping he's the GOP nominee for all the damage he'll do to their party ... why fatally hurt him now? He needs to win their nomination, or put them in a tailspin with a brokered convention and then run as a third party candidate. Give them enough rope now. They'll hang themselves with it later.

To a statement like he made yesterday but he may not be the GOP nominee, he has not received the delegates and right now an all out attacks may not be needed.

She's responding to Trump's outrageous remarks, but concentrating on winning the primary.

From the cheers, I actually thought his followers mistook that bird--and thought it was 700 delegates.

I do know for real
Among New York’s superdelegates this year are Hillary’s husband, former President Bill Clinton, Sens. Kirsten Gillibrand and Chuck Schumer, and most of the state’s House members.
