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.

...we still have free elections...

As long as we pick the candidate of their choice it appears, we'll see how the convention goes to see if that's true or not.

How many ways could Hillary be blackmailed if she became president?

It's not blackmail if what they want her to do she was planning to do anyway, whether asked to or not.

A Trump/Sanders Populist Party ticket

Everyone talks about GOP voters staying home in November if the GOPe has their way. I see the same thing happening if Hitlery is nominated. The rabid Bern-ers will stay home, too.

When is one no longer considered a Noob?

It’s tossed around a lot but I can’t seem to get an answer.

“What is that supposed to mean?”

ESL?
It means exactly what it says.
They have the most popular vote delegates. So why the Hell not team them up in order to defeat the establishment of both parties.
Hell, they could do no worse that the last 4 occupants of the White Hut.

That’s confusing.

I haven’t been following Bernie, but is there even one item on the Trump ticket Bernie would agree to?

Trump is not a socialist, so why would he do that? Unless you are trying to be cute and tell us there is no difference between them.

No. Nothing they would agree on.
Bernie as VP looks pretty good in a suit would go to funerals and ribbon cuttings. Trump would be President and maybe get something done. But the biggest thing, this ticket would do is take Washington back from the current ruling elite.

H.A. Goodman is missing on this one... Hillary and Sanders represent the strongest wings of the Democrat party:

1. Can I take someone else’ money, land, effort etc and keep it for myself or for the groups I favor?
AND..
2 Can I kill the baby I don’t want...

Democrats are coming to the conclusion no one can stop them from killing their babies so Sanders has the upper hand. He’ll win...

They agree our campaign finance system needs to be reformed, on trade and sometimes immigration. Trump has even acknowledged a crossover vote on trade between his supporters and Sanders’ supporters.

They won’t let him get the nomination.

Bernie is old; he doesn't look or appear to be frail, but if he becomes an insurmountable obstacle to Hillary fulfilling her 'destiny', then he may just experience a "health crisis" - courtesy of the Clinton Crime Syndicate.

Bernie is refreshing for democrats because he is 100% open and honest about being a die hard socialist. Hillary cant even handle being labeled a liberal.

I personally think the elections are merely for show, it doesn’t matter which party is nominally in power we keep heading down the road to perdition.

FBI probe poised to derail her White House bid

Bullship...what are they waiting for? Permission from Chairman Obama?

Competently designed ads could destroy Sanders in a week.
Hillary has not and can not attack an opponent to her left without alienating her own base. Trump or Cruz could unleash hell and show why Sanders would lead the US right into Great Depression II and an inevitable Stalinist dictatorship. 40% would welcome that, but 40% will not win an election.

I think you are wrong on both counts...

I think Trump has a much better chance against Hillary...but it's definitely not a foregone conclusion...he won't crush her...

Hillary will do a scorched earth on Trump, what the GOPe is doing today is kindergarden...

Sanders is a much different opponent...

He has a much larger, stronger and loyal supporters ...

Lots of them will never vote for Hillary, but many Hillary supporters would vote for Sanders...

Sanders is far more dangerous than Hillary in the general...

Face it, Sanders is an old coot, likeable and speaks to a lot of people concerns... never mind most of it is pablum, but it goes down easy

The last landslide was Reagan, almost 37 years ago...

This country is far too divided to ever gave someone a landslide again...
