Houston, we're Havana problem.
Hillary is going to win all five states, it will be close in RI but not as close as Sanders' die-hards would like to believe in CT. Also, every single person will be given a provisional ballot that has the Hillary bubble already filled in for convenience.

The first good thing to occur in this election- my polling place in two buildings down from where I live, and on the way to my car to boot :toot: A Hillary campaign outpost opened up on my block a couple weeks ago and took up all of the good parking, so I know how I'm voting!

Here's hoping today is the day that finally convinces Bernie to drop out.

It'd make it a great day, a day we should celebrate for the rest of our lives.

I don't get people saying Bernie should drop out. He is in it until California at least. He still has support from people and if he is gone they are either not voting Clinton or voting Trump.

Predictions for today:
RI: +6 Sanders
CT: +2 Clinton
PA: +6 Clinton
DE: +18 Clinton
MD: +20 Clinton

Bernie won't drop out, but he is going to seriously wear out his welcome.

he should drop out because if today goes like it should he'll need something like 80% of the remaining vote to win and :lol: if you think that's remotely plausible.

there's dignity in realizing you lost and bowing out.

If you're not willing to lick the boot, then really why are you in politics lol? Everything is a cycle of just getting stomped on so why do you want to lose to it over and over, just submit like me, I'm very intelligent.
Will Clinton get to the magic number today?

Also, is the platform committee at the convention able to issue a minority report?

I think the only way Bernie actually drops out is if he gets swept today, anything short of that and I think he'll stay in (at least hopefully shifting back to policy/message talk and less on the attacking side).

So I'm hoping for a sweep. I want this to be over with so we can get all of our ducks in a row for the general.

My polling location is a block from my house. Gonna be sad when we move.

I was looking up info on candidates for the other primaries taking place and some of them had terrible websites that gave no info at all about the platform the candidate was running on. I wonder how much money some of them spent on lovely websites.

I don't think he will drop out even if he loses every state by 20 points. He will drop out after California, even though there is still one more primary left the next week, but in the process he will solidify some of his Bernie or Bust voters and drive the Democrats to the right, rather than pull them to the left like he initially intended.

Regardless of how far his campaign came, and how much money they raised, Hillary will be more of a center-right candidate than she would have been without him entering the race, and he will only have himself to blame.

Nice Meltdown.

Seriously how do you think this is true? She's come a little to the left on several positions in the primary. Do you think she'll both go back to where she was in September and then go further right?

You think having progressives say "We will never vote you no matter what you say" is success? When you have Republicans taking a more rational view to whether they could support her in the general election against Trump, which way do you think she will go? Bernie will receive some token gestures at the convention, but the lesson to the establishment has been - don't listen to the progressives because they can't be relied upon.

Absolutely. If any measurable portion of the Bernie voters can't be won over, but there are Republicans who can be, do you think she is going to reach out to?

Yeah, there's a reason the Democratic establishment routinely ignores the youth and the left. They don't vote, so there's no point in trying to appease them. The party platform follows the votes.

Name some policies she'll ultimately campaign further right on?

She moved from $12 min wage to 12* (15 in higher cost areas) so is she going to not campaign on raising the minimum?

She clarified that the TPP wasn't good because of Bernie, will she now say it's amazing?

Is she going to say she'll repeal and replace Obamacare?

Seriously think it through, she's not going to take a hard right for the GE. She might abandon the leftward she made during the primary, but I don't buy that she'll move further right. If she's running against Trump, the election is being handed to her so she doesn't need to abandon her principles to win.
