People should vote for Hillary.

She won't catch Obama in delegates. She won't catch him in the popular vote. Well, to catch him in delegates, she needs to get 58% here on out. Not going to happen. To get the popular vote, she needs to net 700K votes, and there are apparently 6 million still out. So she would need 3.35 million to Barack's 2.65 million. That's 56%. Still quite a hurdle really. If MI and FL get to revote, then she needs 53% of the total.

So the only way Hillary gets the nomination is if she "steals" it from Obama. And if she does that, the blacks and other Obama supporters will be furious. If Hillary gets the nomination this way, there's no way she wins the general.

“People should vote for Hillary.”

Republicans should vote in the Dem primary period. The more Republicans that vote, the more the results seem illegitimate.

That way, Hillary can make an argument that “the superdelegates were created to prevent GOP meddling in our elections” when she tries to steal it. It will be COMPLETE chaos when executed properly.

Spot on analysis.

There are too many that want to sing “Ding Dong the Witch is dead” that they don’t understand the numbers.

SHE CAN’T CATCH HIM and get a legitimate lead in delegates before the convention.

And WHEN she steals it, everyone will know it’s because he holds the views of the perpetually aggrieved victims, who will stay home in disgust.
