This is from yesterday, so my apologies if someone posted it already. I looked and didn't see it, but maybe I missed it.

Dump Hillary, and Dump Her Fast: The Democratic Establishment is on a Suicide Mission, and it Will End With Trump

According to the polls, Hillary Clinton has a remarkably high net unfavorability rating nationally, and it continues to rise steadily, as it has been doing for the past three years. The American people on the whole also find Clinton highly untrustworthy. Most worrying of all, though, is how Clinton is shown to fare in hypothetical match-ups with the GOP candidates. Polls show Clinton losing in an election to every single Republican still in the race except for Trump, with whom she’s almost tied. Bernie Sanders, meanwhile, would according to those same polls beat every Republican runner handily.

These are worrying statistics not just because it now seems very likely that Clinton will be the nominee, but because the Democratic establishment has always assured and still continues to assure Dem voters that Clinton’s presidency is inevitable, even though the evidence suggests otherwise. Worse, this Democratic establishment has failed to amply confront Clinton’s at-times dubious record, a record that the Republican establishment will happily start attacking as soon as her candidacy is confirmed.

With the mainstream media currently maintaining a firewall that largely rejects and/or ignores Clinton-based criticism, what will be the average voter reaction when the GOP establishment begins its assault and really puts Clinton’s shady weapons deals, Wall Street ties and numerous policy flip-flops in the spotlight? Make no mistake, this is exactly the kind of stuff that the establishment of the Right will be throwing at Clinton soon enough. That’s on top of the ongoing email controversy, which has prompted an FBI investigation, and a judge to threaten Clinton with a subpoena. To reiterate, Clinton is already predicted to lose to the GOP as it is, or – at best – tie with Trump.

None of us can see into the future to know for sure whether Clinton will eventually bring round Sanders-stumping Dems and independents to beat the GOP in November. It is a plain fact, however, that Bernie Sanders has – according to statistics – for the past several months been the best bet for voters seeking a Democrat as the next president. Only the mainstream media didn’t shout too loudly about that. Right now, stumping for Hillary Clinton in the Democratic primary is a huge gamble, one that most voters won’t even be aware they’re making. Rest assured, though, that the Democratic establishment – the politicians, the press, the big-money donors – knows exactly what kind of game it’s playing. And it’s playing it so irresponsibly, it may as well be a suicide mission.

8. Not sure what you mean by that.

Context is everything!

2. The issue is Hillary supporters feel that she can do no wrong

They're inoculated to the truth by previous right-wing lies. In another thread, a Hillary supporter just told me that she personally doesn't listen to any negative stuff regarding Hillary because it's all lies.

Head in the sand.

4. Ok. n/t

5. How is it a 'plain fact' when only 4 states have voted so far and Clinton has won 3 of them?

That's not basing a 'plain fact' on anything really factual, is it?

17. She won 2 of them, maybe just 1 without all the BS shenanigans.

6. You know it's on their drawing board.

What to do? Hillary has dirt that has been discovered but not uncovered... probably lots of it.
Is Trump waiting to spring it on us after Hillary 'wins' the Primary?

7. 48% of Republicans wouldnt vote for Trump if he's the nominee.

9. Grandson just told me that yes, he will go with me to vote early for Bernie, here in Florida,

but he keeps reading that Hillary has things sewn up.

He is very clear and emphatic that he will not vote for Hillary. He will stay home for the GE, at best. He will not vote for more of the same old crap.

The DNC owns this. Overweening hubris.

14. Sorry, but fear doesnt work on me.

Im With Her.

16. I'm glad you have nothing to fear by the prospect of a Trump presidency

Still, there are a lot of people who (perhaps) have more to lose, and who have already seen the tragic results of his rhetoric played out across the country. So I'm glad you have nothing to fear. Must be nice.
