If Hillary barely wins the popular vote in Texas but loses the delegate vote, will she be able to... |
|
count this as a "win" and, assuming she wins Ohio, keep going in the race? While she would have "won" both states, she wouldn't have gained in delegates. Is this really a reasonable win now?

1. We Are Way Past Reasonable By Now |

That was two exits back. Don't make me stop this car!

2. So why does the "biased" MSM go along with this? |
|
Not too many weeks back, a win mean a blowout for Hillary in these two states. These were going to be her delegate "get well" plan.

5. It's Called "Churning" |
|
In the market, it's buying and selling for the purpose of making a stock look lively.
In the news, same deal.

4. She has to fold after March 4. Everybody except people with basic arithmetic skills will be shocked. |

7. She isn't going to win anything in Texas. IF she wins Ohio, it will be a small margin. |

8. I have no idea what's driving her at this point. If I were in charge of her campaign |
|
I would have gracefully bowed out as soon as she lost her lead in Texas.

9. I can undestand staying until March 6... |
|
This gives her one day to absorb the loss and call all of her key supporters to let her "decide" to bow out gracefully. Then she can schedule a joint meeting with Obama on the 6th and concede and endorse.
Absent of this, I expect to see a mass exodus of Supes to Obama on the 6th.
