After reading the posts of many HRC supporters this AM ...
all I can say is ...

whatever you're smoking, please SHARE! :smoke:

After a paltry 9 delegate pickup in PA, she still trails by 127 delegates (151 PLEDGED delegates). No how, no way does she catch Senator Obama in the remaining states. The only hope she has is for the SDs to override the will of the people and GIVE her the nomination, which will no doubt destroy any chances the party has of restoring a Democrat in the Oval Office. And even if common sense prevails and Obama wins the nomination, HRC will continue to inflict as much damage as possible in order to ensure his defeat and set herself up as the 2012 Democratic front-runner.

Destroy the village in order to save it. Brilliant.

1. I have never heard a Hillary supporter give a convincing response to this.
I would just like to hear how people who lean strongly towards Hillary think she can win the nomination without tearing the party apart and ruining any chances for a Dem victory in November.

5. yeah that's what i want to know too
i just don't understand how they can ignore the basic math of the situation. especially given that the recent trends in superdelegates have been for obama.

16. From the supporters that I have engaged here---
They don't care about the party, they see it as a cleansing of undesirables.

2. it honestly makes me feel bad
I want her to stfu and drop out but I feel bad because I remember how hard it was for me to come out of denial that Kucinich really had no chance, no matter how many times people said it LOL. I think that's what they're going through now. So while I have a heart for them, I have no heart for her..

Plz wake me up when it's over, kthxbai

3. They are willing to use Rethug votes to get the job done.
Go figure. In all fairness, I would love to meet a Hill supporter in person. The ones I knew were soured by Bosnia Theater. They were big enough to admit that she is not presidential material after that.

6. The worst thing about it is...
..it's all predicated on their hopes of superdelegates saying "Hmmm...this person won more states....won more pledged delegates....and won more of the popular vote.....but we know better as far as who is electable so we'll decide for you."

Not since Bush Republicans have I seen a group so willing to be told what someone else thinks is best for them.

9. Today's RCP has Obama up 1.2% vs. Gramps...
and Gramps up 0.3% vs. HRC.

If your post was meant to be sarcastic, it flew right over my head.
