Clinton and Sanders campaigns agree that it could be over by Feb. 8

Hillary could be the de facto Democratic nominee by Feb. 8. Her team privately believes that, given the way expectations have been set up, even narrow wins in the two first-voting contests would not be discounted. Clinton has robust field operations in both states and could diligently grind her way to victories. Even Sanders’ top aides acknowledge that, barring other factors, it could be game, set, match if Hillary starts the voting year with twin wins, giving Brooklyn ample incentive to go all in there and try to put it away early.

As a dispassionate observer it is my considered opinion the Vermont senator will be under enormous pressure the next hundred or so days. It will be interesting to see how he, his team, and his supporters handle it.

I love that! It cracks me up every time you type it. But sometimes, the reactions of others are equally amusing.

Note this article is from Bloomberg(a right wing mouthpiece)
If by chance it is over I will refuse to vote for a Republican and write in Bernie Sanders on election day

SC or NV would do. That could change a lot of things.

It's been great advertising for us, but we need to turn our eyes to the GE.
