Hillary’s world collapsing around her: Wisconsin, Bernie’s surge and FBI probe poised to derail her
Salon ^ | April 6, 2016 | H.A. Goodman

Full Title... "Hillary’s world collapsing around her: Wisconsin, Bernie’s surge and FBI probe poised to derail her White House bid"

Wisconsin represents more than just Bernie’s sixth straight win, or the likelihood of seven straight wins after Wyoming, right before New York. This political revolution, ignited by Bernie Sanders and fought for by people of all races, faiths, and ethnic backgrounds across the U.S. has been bolstered by political momentum. It’s not current delegate count or prior poll numbers, it’s unprecedented political momentum that will win Sanders the Democratic nomination.

It’s the fact Bernie Sanders isn’t going to be interviewed by the FBI like Clinton, and also the fact Wisconsin has kept political momentum alive at a crucial time in the Democratic Primary race. Since Sanders does better against GOP competition than Clinton, he’ll win the presidency when elected Democratic nominee. Clinton’s “FBI Primary” is around the corner and Wisconsin symbolizes the continuation of something profound.

“If Bernie becomes president, then we need to stop calling America a republic. “

Please explain that to this citizen of a Constitutional Monarchy.

And don’t forget Bill met with Trump personally to encourage him to enter the race as a Republican.

“Sanders is by far the stronger Demorat candidate.”

Only because America is so bloody innumerate.

Another Salon article says that it’s time for hillary to go. Looks like Salon just joined the vast right wing conspiracy.

Of course, that same article cites a majority of dem voters agreeing with the Sanders message that it’s time for an alternative to the long time way of doing things. Apparently, nobody told them that bernie’s way is even older than he is and just as decrepit as he is. It’s true that you’ll never go broke betting against the collective IQ of the voters.

And we have the nameless, faceless bureaucracy (separation of powers problem...anyone?) regardless.

The Clintons have been working on this for almost 8 years and spreading money and favors around to make sure it happens.

Yes, and the past lines up like dominoes accordingly...

She had to pay off the State Parties (superdelegates) so she needed cash.

She had to use the Clinton Foundation and her SOS gig to raise the cash.

She had to have her own server so she could delete emails to hide the fact that she was using the SOS gig to raise cash.

It’s looking like 2 of my grandsons are going to vote for Bernie, unless their parents can talk sense into them. However, I don’t have much faith that their mothers will even try.

This is reminding me of Obama back in 2008. Early on in the primary season, many of us on Free Republic were cheering Obama on to beat Shrillary in the primaries. Some of us even crossed over to vote for him (after McCain clinched the nomination) - the original "Operation Chaos". We were joking among ourselves that "something funny happened on the way to the coronation (Shrillary's)".

But in the end, we regretted it because Obama captured the young and gullible and it was pretty much all over with regard to prospects of a GOP win.

I see the same thing happening here. If Bernie gets the nomination, he's going to get 70-80% of the under 30 vote automatically and they will be as energized as they were for Obama in 2008. That will be hard to beat in the general.

Your post may have been a bit of satire, but lemme tell you about the college professor I knew (she was one of my professors) who, along with several other top notch professors and teachers, won a trip to the USSR in the early 90”s.

When packing her bags, she actually had to include toilet paper, tissues, asprin...common things we take for granted, on her trip. Apparently, Russian toilet paper was much like the tissue used for dress patterns. And, it wasn’t easy to come by, either.

They planned their accommodations so that they encouraged private enterprise, and even then, they had to share showers bathrooms. She brought back pictures of the state run hotels which were in very bad shape. There were holes in the floor coverings, rot in the wood, lack of caulking around the tiles on the walls around the tub. I’ve seen better in ghetto housing.

But yes, the Toilet paper..some places really don’t have any.

Nice contrast. I also notice all the guys in their charcoal and dark suits, while Hillary! looks like Huggy Bear from Starsky and Hutch.

The Clintons always cover all their bases.

That's a myth. In 1992, Bill Clinton was the beneficiary of a lackluster unpopular incumbent. Perot was not the deciding factor. Perot won zero electoral votes and there are no examples of states that would have flipped over to George Bush had Perot not been in the race. Sure, he won a lot of popular votes (19%) but was a non-factor with how the electoral college turned out.

1996 was a gimme. Dole/Kemp...even Dukakis/Bentsen could have beat that ticket.

2008 we endured the constant drumbeat of the inevitable Hildebeast. But she got her head handed to her by a community organizer out of Chicago. Clintons didn't have their bases covered then.

Now in 2016, the Hildebeast is getting spanked by a rumpled old socialist out of Vermont. Doesn't sound like all the bases got covered this time around either. She's getting clobbered in many states by embarrassing and humiliating margins. If she doesn't pull out New York next week, then like in 2008, the much ballyhooed "super delegates" that everybody is counting in her column are going to start getting cold feet.

There is no "Clinton machine", if there ever was one. Both Bill and Shrillary are washed up and even many Democrats are fed up with them. The fact that 82% of the under 30 year-olds voted against her last week in Wisconsin is pretty damning.

>>A lefty sees the writing on the wall. Unfortunately this is not good news for us. Sanders is by far the stronger Demorat candidate.

I think he is seen as more honest, but the term “socialist” is still very negative for people over 40.
