Sanders: Clinton team thinks race "is over. They're wrong"

WASHINGTON (AP) — Bernie Sanders said Tuesday that his primary bid against Hillary Clinton was far from over, pointing to his victory in Indiana and strength in upcoming races as a sign of his durability in the presidential campaign.

The ideal situation would be for Hillary to only have enough delegates for the win with superdelegates. That will have Bernie supporters royally steamed.

That, plus a pie fight between the FBI and DOJ about indicting Hillary. And Hillary must refuse to be dragged off the stage by the Democrats, even clutching at the carpet with her fingernails.

Bernie staying in and doing well in primaries shows Hillary’s weakness, which will manifest itself in the general election. Do the party bosses want to nominate a sure loser?

The legal risk to Hillary has just jumped. Trump appears to have clinched the Republican nomination but he remains the weakest of the major candidates the GOP could have fielded against Hillary. From a Democratic perspective, the calculation will be that any credible Democrat will beat Trump handily; even Hillary, with her sky-high negatives, has trounced him consistently in the polling.

Hillary is a probable winner against Trump, which means she will be even more determined to stay in the race come what may. But it would be very easy for Obama to allow a indictment to go forward, which -- if it takes out Hillary -- would mean swapping a likely winner for a certain winner, and increasing the down-ballot pickups as well.

Keep your Democratic propaganda to yourself!

The recent polls show them neck and neck!

Trump is the only one who could beat Hillary.

You have no idea what you are talking about and are likely a Cruz holdout.

Trump vs Sanders ! What a match up. Hillary, under indictment ? Stay tuned.

[VanDeKoik]

Good.

Let the media be forced to cover that for a while.

[refermech]

Political theater doesn’t get any better than this.

The reality is that even with a Cruz, Hillary would have more likely handed to him his rear end, because he would be way too nice. Right now a fighter is needed and Trump is that fighter.

I speak as a Cruz supporter who stayed until the end because I thought he'd be a better president, NOT because he is more electable. Hillary Clinton is an extremely weak Dem candidate who will not be able to turn out minorities like Obama could. Trump is another rich guy who, unlike Romney, can reach the disaffected working class voter. He will also take it to the Dem lke we haven't seen since '88. There is a cost, the political race will be vulgarized further now and for the foreseeable future. It is what it is. HRC is a sitting duck, the northeast is in plY, and ANY one who says he knows how the downticket is affected is wrong. We are in uncharted territory.

Take a look at Hillary’s current approval and disapproval numbers. The powers making the decisions certainly are. Sanders won by taking 47% of the women’s votes. That shows that just because she’s a woman, Hillary can’t count on that anymore.

Obama had to personally intervene with donors for Hillary. she’s also been skirting the law by using state funds she shouldn’t. Like Cruz who folded partly from funding issues, Hillary is facing the same obstacle.

Keep in mind Sanders still virtually matched her again in fund raising in April. Sanders not dropping out means we’re about to see a Trump/Sanders tag team attacking Hillary. With the FBI, now acknowledged by the DOJ, conducting a criminal investigation into Clintongate, shes’ about to endure the worst summer of her life.

Bernie staying in

Yipee, this means Hillary has to stay to the Left too Long and may not be able to pivoting to the center as the Progressive/Liberals have to do to fool the public.

[Hattie]

Old Bernie has the Dem party by the neck right now. He is going to demand a lot.

[scooby321]

Bern you have always been pratice

Doesn't matter what they want. They know if they go up against the beast it's Arkancide time. Pay attention

[gr8eman]

Uh...NO!

[DaveA37]

“Shes’ about to endure the worst summer of her life.”.......

I must inject that her “worst summer’s” are yet to come when/if she gets indicted and eventually convicted. Said conviction must only come AFTER Trump is sworn in to avoid any chance of a pardon. She, along with odumbo and others, BELONG in prison.

...weakest of the major candidates the GOP

Who are these other mystical 'major candidates' you speak of? Or are you just bitter Cruz failed.

[Gritty]

At some point the Democrat Party is going to want to dump Hillary because of her many scandals (not because they are horrified she obviously broke multiple laws but because her felonies are obvious targets in the election) and weak performance against Bernie. She is simply an unlikeable candidate.

Bernie still won't get the nod because he is an obvious nut. It will be a ticket of McAwful/Liarwatha or somebody just like them which will unify the Party and still fool enough stupid voters to slither across the finish line. Biden is too weak and flaky to get the nod. Hillary will throw her support to them at the convention and the super-delegates will fall right in line with the Party bosses.
