Hillary supporters will soon be happy with Bernie.

Here is what I think happens.
On June 8, the day after California primary, Bernie will hold a press conference where he will say that it is apparent that Hillary has won the nomination.
He will then congratulate her and give her a full throated endorsement stressing where they agree on most policy positions.
He will degrade The Donald and say that he has called Secretary Clinton and told her that he is willing to do whatever he can to help her win.

I know some of you on both sides right now don't see this happening.
But, it will.
We will be united in Philadelphia and beyond.
Hillary will win big in November.
We will reclaim the Senate and make big gains in the House.

Bernie will get to Chair the committee on the Environment with Dems in majority.
His new organization will then start raising money to try to get as many progressive candidates as possible to run in the midterms in 2018 and get back the House.

Happy Days are about to be here again!!!! Hang in there for just one more month and it's smooth sailing after that. Love does Trump hate!

From a Bernie Guy - relax - Hillary will be Prez.

Everything is fine.
In fact, things are great for we Democrats.
Trump clinching is manna from heaven and will give us the Senate (and big gains in the House).

Bernie staying in thru California is a good thing.
He and his supporters know the super delegates will not change en masse to him.
He knows he won't get the nomination.
But, why get out now?
One more month won't damage Hillary.
It might even strengthen her with more people registering to vote.
All polling shows the vast majority, about 80%, of Bernie voters will vote Hillary in November.
The rest will vote Green or just stay home.
They won't vote for Trump. They just won't.

Bernies supporters in California and elsewhere deserve a vote on 6/7 when Hillary should clinch.
Bernie will get a good speaking spot in Philadelphia where he will bring down the house with a full throated endorsement of Hillary.
She will go on to win 40 states in November.
So, my dear Hillary friends, get a good herbal tea and a massage today.
I know you are disappointed about Indiana but that was just a blip on the screen.
on 6/7, my Bernie bumper sticker will be replaced with I'm With Her.
She will be President. Just a matter of how big the landslide will be.

Old white men love them some Trump

All 4 of these white former state of Indiana coaches have endorsed Trump:
Bobby Knight. Indiana Univ basketball
Gene Keady Purdue Univ basketball
Lou Holtz. Norte Dame football
Digger Phelps Notre Dame basketball

I've been flipping back and forth from CNN and MSNBC watching reporters talk to voters leaving the polling stations in Indiana....almost every white male over 50 voted for Trump...one was a hard core anti abortion guy and he voted for Cruz.

One older female Democrat, Hillary supporter said she crossed over to Repub to vote for Cruz because of how much she hates Trump.

My plan to revise the primary system.

No Caucuses
Five primaries held every 2 weeks representing different parts of country.
I would prefer having these every second Tuesday or every second Saturday.

E.g.
Start the first Tuesday in February with Iowa, N.H., S.C., Nevada, Montana.
If the Iowa and New Hampshire people freak out, let them go first on Tuesday and the other three then go on the following Saturday.
Then 2 Tuesday's later, 5 more states from different regions.....and, so on...and so on.
After 20 weeks, all 50 states would have voted.
2 weeks later, all U.S. Territories and D.C. vote.

All states should use the Presidential primary dates as the same date for their state and local primary election contests. This would drive up voter turnout and save the states from having to have multiple elections.

Imagining how the Trump/Clinton debate might go.

Wolf Blitzer: Welcome everyone to the first....
Donald: Wolf, before we start i just want to say that this audience looks like it's full of a lot more women....which means more hysterical screaming for Shillary and more disgusting bathroom breaks...these women all go in there together....which is collusion.
Hillary: wolf, what is he talking about?
Wolf: Well, bathroom breaks were discussed by both campaigns and.....
Donald: It was not discussed with me and I have it on good authority that Secretary Clinton does not alwAys wash her hands after going number two, and I will not shake her hands, and then I will be called rude and sexist....
Hillary: How do I respond to this stuff?
Donald: Well, I hope it's better than you responded with Bengazi when you didn't take that 3am phone call and let our wonderful soldiers die while you were sleeping or in the bathroom doing God knows what.
Wolf: Since Mr.Trump has brought up Bengazi, would you like to address it, Secretary?
Hillary: well, I testified for eleven hours on it, but I guess anything is better than talking about my bathroom breaks.
Donald: You see, that's what she always does. Just like a woman, always wanting to change the subject or tell the men what to do. Where what I want is to make America great again and I will take that 3am call,,because I don't sleep..sleep is for losers...like Secretary Clinton who lost so many lives at Bengazi and all over the Middle East when she was a disaster as Secretary of State
Wolf: Well, we've arrived at our first commercial break.
Donald: Somebody needs to time her on how long she takes in the toilet....I have no idea how she's going to get out of the ugly yellow Chairman Mao moo-moo and get back here in three minutes.
Hillary: I can't do this. Somebody call Bernie. He can take on this fucking moron. I quit!

***sarcasm - meant to show how Trump relates to women like the moran he is***

What do your gopper relatives think of Cruz/Trump?

My brother is one of those small govt, keep my taxes low republicans.
He's pro choice and pro gay, so Cruz is not an option.
But, he thinks Trump is a moron.
However, he admittedly irrationally hates Hillary....some of it sexist, I think.
So, he says he will stay home in November.

Just wondering what some of you have heard from the repubs in your life.

Where's the GOP Indiana polling?

The media has been hyping this primary for two weeks.
Telling us it's the make or break state for Cruz.
And, yet, here we are on Friday with no new repug polls in weeks from Indiana.

Let's have some fun....Cruz announcement

Ole Teddy says he will make a major announcement at 4pm today..
Let's speculate on what it might be:

I say that he's leaving his wife and will partner up with new running mate and life partner - Lindsey Graham.

Bernie could win 3 out of 5 tomorrow.

The most recent polling on rcp has Bernie ahead or within margin of error in Rhode Island, Delaware, and Connecticut.

MSNBC changes Bernie beat reporter

Casey Hunt out
Chris Jansing in

Quite an upgrade, IMHO.
Hunt always seemed bored and stressed the negative.
Jansing is a true pro and plays things down the middle.
