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.

3. Veruca will stamp her feet, hold her breath, and claim that PA is the next firewall.

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.
