9. He hasn't won all 11 primaries in a row by at least 20 points.
Sadly, he only beat Hillary in Wisconsin by 17 points. Clear indication of the great run of success she's enjoying now.

12. Repukes will put the argument to you in a week or two and they
will make the case once and for all, backed up by the MSM who you cheered on while they were trashing Hillary.

17. Republicans are supporting him in droves
to keep Hillary from being the nominee. Then,when they have succeeded in their goal of anyone other than Hillary,they will all go back "home" and vote for McLaim. I've heard repukes talking about it here in my area. What a dirty lowdown thing to do,but they are doing it.

28. left handed
He can't get elected because:

1)He has a funny name.

2)He has is a muslim sounding name

3)He isn't black enough.

4)He can't beat Clinton's organizations in the caucuses

5)He is too intellectual he won't inspire people.

6)He is too black

7)He won't be able to raise enough money

8) He is too inspirational

9) He won't last beyond Super Tuesday

10) The Latinos won't vote for him

11)His followers will wake up and realize they are being hoodwinked

12) People read emails that say he is a communist/muslim/madras going/no pledge of alliegence saying/republican plant

13) He can't debate

14) He can't win big states


So I am guessing that the only thing that hasn't been thrown at him is that "He is left handed".

Of course there is one more thing and that is once he is hit with some criticism and you would think since he just handled these other 14 things and they just didn't stick that you might think he will when they hit him with something really smart and clever. Just watch him buckle when they launch the "he is left handed" campaign.

35. Because I won't vote for him.
At least, if my vote counted for anything, he wouldn't win. Of course, neither would HRC.
