Does a big Super Tuesday win mean anything for Hillary?

[Takket]

Honest question. Does it? Reason I ask is Hillary is doing well in traditional general election "red states" and Bernie in "blue states". So even if Hillary has a blowout tonight winning those "red states" does that mean anything with so many "blue states" left to go?

And about those "red and blue" states. If hillary is the nominee, is it worrisome or encouraging that she is doing well pulling red states? I mean, Bernie or Hillary... doesn't matter in the general, the blue states are going for the Dem, so is it better to hope hillary can pull more swing states she is clearly doing better with more middle of the pack dems? or is it bad for her in the general that she doesn't seem to be resonating with the base (bluest states) so we might not get the most progressive voters we need out in November?

1. Yes.

A huge South Carolina win was a big confidence booster and reinvigorated her campaign.

2. Not much unless you buy into the media narrative hype

If she wins enough tonight she'll try to say that Sanders needs to quit so she can focus on Trump. Never mind that there's a long way to go, or that she stuck around much longer in 2008.

Her supporters will be obnoxious though despite her staying in in 2008 and there being so many states left.

3. it means Bernie cannot reach minorities nationwide

its just not happening for him

4. Yes, it makes extremely difficult for Sanders to win the nomination.

The primary is not fought with the same tactics or strategy as the General Election, and does not have the same purpose. They are very different elections.

Comparing these two different elections is like comparing apples and spare tires.

12. interesting....... i don't usually pay such close attention to the primary process

mostly because i'll except any candidate the Dems put forth. So didn't know about the differences.

5. A big Super Tuesday win is good for any candidate. Don't overthink it.

6. Name a large Blue State where Sanders is expected to do well.

9. i don't know, that's why i'm asking

I see Cali and NY out there as big prizes, but don't know how they are leaning.

7. No matter how it goes down, it won't be a knock-out for either candidate

We all still have a long way to go.

8. Democrats don't count unless they support the 'Not Hillary' Party.

Keep it up.

11. Yes. It means she can stay in the race despite lack of funds.

13. It means that she will have between 150 and 200 more

pledged delegates than Bernie after tonight. It's going to be very difficult for Sanders to overcome that lead as the primaries progress. The nomination is won by the person with the most delegates as you know.
