If you cannot win the primary/caucus of the party you are running in

[Peacetrain]

You will never be able to win the general election... Winning the primary/caucus does not mean you will win the general..but there is no way in the world you win the general if you did not win the primary/caucus of your party..


Everybody eligible to vote today.. GOTV!!

2. No nody has tied up anything yet!

Both sides who can vote today ..need to get GOTV.. its as simple as that.. if your candidate of choice does not pull in enough votes to become the nominee.. they would not have won squat of anything anyway in the general..

8. Senator Lieberman lost in the Connecticut Democratic primary. He then ran as an independent

and won the election. The point is it doesn't necessarily follow that if you finish 2nd in a party primary
that means you would do worse than the person you lost to in the general election.

9. I can't agree. Not in an America w/ 40% independents and mostly closed primaries.

In closed primaries with either party's electorate representing roughly 30% of the voters in all but the most deeply blue or red states, primary results can be massively skewed from what will occur in general elections. The favored candidate within the party's voters can tank with independents. They can massively motivate the other party's turnout. I believe both of these things will occur with a Hillary candidacy...and that neither would with Bernie.
