It's an absolute crock to say that Sanders can beat Trump but Hillary can't,in fact the opposite appears to be true.

[Scootaloo]

1. Apparently bigotry is a big motivator in both parties

[artislife]

15. heh!

[Skwmom]

2. Your argument is meaningless. n/t

[giftedgirl77]

3. Numbers don't lie.

[KingFlorez]

4. The choice is clear

There is only one candidate capable of defeating Trump and that candidate is Clinton.

[PowerToThePeople]

5. My crystal ball is fuzzy

I will hold off making ay judgements on this issue until mid November.

[Gregorian]

6. Nope.

At least that's not how I see it. There are a number of ways in which Trump can lose votes. I don't know of many in which he gains. Bernie won't lose any, but will gain from Hillary Clinton's supporters (at least some), and Independents. I may be wrong. It's guessing. It's from sentiment picked up my experiences, and many others on forums. I know of two, personally who will vote Trump, but vote Bernie otherwise. It's insane. I am not getting it at all. But there is momentum with Bernie's campaign, it's just how much. He's promoting solid principles.

7. So not adding the rest of the rethug primsry counts to Drumpf is because

Reasons?

[sufrommich]

8. Trump has 7.5 million popular votes,Sanders has 6.1 million.

Not sure what you mean.

[Paulie]

11. Majority of the rest won't come over to Dem

Somewhere around 6 million more rethugs have turned out this season. When arguing for the general election time, we ignore the difference at great cost.

[B2G]

9. Does that even mean anything when

The Dems have been splitting the votes 2 ways, while the Repubs have been splitting them between 4-8 candidates??

[artislife]

16. That math is too difficult for the Math crowd. nt

[grossproffit]

10. Clinton is strong on both national security and foreign policy, which will be very important

this coming election. It's an area that's not even a blip on the radar of some here.

[artislife]

17. By strong, you mean itching to pull the trigger? nt

[azurnoir]

12. The totals are more telling

pukes 19,097,136

dems 14,757,215

pukes ahead 4,339,921

[Kalidurga]

13. Yeah but haven't Republicans mostly been voting in the Southern states as well?

I mean seriously don't you expect more Republicans to show up to vote in North Carolina, South Carolina, Texas, and other red states? That was a nice try though.

[ibegurpard]

14. I see

So all the votes that went to other Republicans that added up to FAR more votes than those that went to the Democrats are going to break for Hillary... is that your theiry? I see you've thought this through quite carefully...

[bobbobbins01]

18. All the states that favor her have voted.

So of course she's ahead. And now we watch the slow steady decline, just like her poll numbers for the past 10 months.

[MaggieD]

20. No, she has many more wins coming up

NY, PA, NJ, MD, DC, CA and probably even AZ, NM (just to name a few)

[bobbobbins01]

21. OK, we'll see.

I think she might have NJ and MD, possibly PA...but not the others. And her wins will be nominal in those states.

[MaggieD]

22. Then you are kidding yourself

His donations and turn out will diminish now, as people see he cannot win. It's the death spiral of every losing campaign. And that is why a candidate simply cannot come back from a 320 delegate deficit.

[MaggieD]

19. Any port in a storm at this point, apparently
