Uh, Hillary is still the nominee short of being indicted.

She still gets half the delegates and wins the nomination.

A lot of “if, then” and so “if, then” this next thing.

Would the Democratic voters really accept having Clinton just summarily pulled from the nomination?? Millions have voted for her and supported her and truly believe in her, even though of course that’s not unanimous. I think dumping her and propping up an old white stooge like Biden in her place would make a lot of women voters very angry at the party.

Good article. But, isn’t it interesting, indeed amazing, that perennial primary loser Biden is now considered most formidable?

“Conservative America wrings its hands over Donald Trump’s chances of beating Hillary Clinton...”

Ridiculous and ill informed (not reflecting today’s currents) statement.

American patriots are feeling glee because Donald Trump will almost certainly beat Hillary Clinton in a Reaganesque landslide accomplished with independents and crossover voters.

The idea that conservatives are “hand wringing” is offensive.

I honestly don't think it matters to Hillary and company, they will steamroll over Bernie if he wins every state next Tuesday but loses the nomination by one superdelegate the same as they would have if he would have dropped out after Iowa. For that matter, for all those that think Bernie is going to squeeze all these concessions out of Hillary, think again, the Clinton's don't work that way, Bernie will by lucky to get a free salad at the convention hall cafeteria once the Clinton's take full control of the party. That's not to say there won't be repercussions, Bernie's supporters are going to be very angry and Bernie himself might get so angry he refuses to support Hillary.

Bernie can find a way to claw his way to the nomination, Republican ads will run the next morning featuring his smiling face with a hammer and sickle alongside.

Good thing McLame isn't running or we'd hear "he's a good man and you have nothing to fear about him." Up until this year, I doubt the Republicans would run such an ad. They would be perfect gentlemen and not mention this slight flaw.

LOL, what if??? Hillary had the nomination before any primary was held. It makes no difference numerically if she wins CA. That said, the media will have to work OT to spin perception on her loss (if she does lose). Theyll just have to work harder to make her appear presidential. In the end it matters little whether its Hillary or Bernie...the dems will fall in line because both are cut from the same rotten cloth.

Trump will trounce Hillary. She’s the worst candidate in history. Entitled, not charismatic, not likable, completely dishonest etc...

Trump will struggle with Sanders. They share many of the same messages but have different answers to the common problems. Both are both populists but Sanders has been at it longer and is better at it than Trump. Sanders has charisma. A summer full of Sanders alone will unite the democrats and his populist “eat the rich” message will play MUCH better with independents once he gets the full microphone.

Trump will lose to Biden. He’s a gaffe machine, sure, but he gets the same “Oh, that Joe...” kind of pass that Bill Clinton got. He’s got charisma to spare and none of the mud on him that both Hillary and Bernie have. And while the Bernie supporters will be ticked that Bernie doesn’t get the nomination, they’ll get over it when Biden chooses Elizabeth Warren as his running mate.

Kalifornia matters a lot. If Sanders wins or ties Hillary, it will reinforce the behind the scenes panic at the top of the Democrat hierarchy. The potential downside effect on donations to Hillary is a concern.

It wouldn’t be a surprise if big donors that Hillary depends on didn’t return phone calls. That would increase the calls for her to drop out. With more details of the FBI’s criminal investigation surfacing almost daily, there’s no upside potential for her in the future.

At some point “the talk” will happen. She’ll have to withdraw. The excuse will be medical reasons. If she doesn’t she’ll be facing a special prosecutor. That’s the sign that Hillary’s been thrown under the bus.

While people may mouth support, real support will dry up fast. Look for more puff pieces featuring Biden. We’ve already seen them. Someone is hedging their bet.

If The Bern beats The Hag in Cal, then follows up by sweeping the entire Left Coast, the Dem Convention will require SWAT. The Bern's supporters will never vote for The Hag, no matter what.

But since most of Cal's larger cities and towns are controlled by "ethnic" persuasions who favor Xlinton, we should assume the voting facilities will be heavily calibrated to force what is considered a crucial win for The Hag.

Hillary is like 70 away from the nomination, Bernie has to win 837 out of the 906 remaining. Bernie may win the popular vote in California, but it would have to be very lopsided to keep her from getting the 70 she needs. But she will pick up the 70 between California with 475 and New Jersey with 126.

A lot of useless speculation in my opinion. Her lies carried her too far into the nomination process. Had her lies been exposed very early on, then Bernie most likely would have won.

Debbie Blabbermouth Schultz made sure that Hillary Rotten Clinton wins the nomination by awarding her more delegates to her right at the beginning

Trump will lose to Biden....He’s got charisma to spare.

On what planet? Biden is a doddering, clueless joker. A dirty old man.

Trump will struggle with Sanders.

How will Trump "struggle" to extol the benefits of Capitalism while citing recent examples of the evil and epic fail of Communism? (hello Venezuela.)

If Trump can't bury Stalin's son or Satan's daughter, America has much bigger problems requiring even yuger solutions.

Well the reason she has so many delegates is because she has been awarded several hundred super delegates right at the beginning.

I did some quick research. hillary got 51% of the CA primary vote in 2008, compared to Obama's 43%. Why did she back out then? I can think of three possibilities: bad judgement, a reverse-racist refusal to fight for the nomination against a "black", or a deal that she was in line for the nomination in eight years. So now she's entitled.

I will contend the hillary has lost if she has less CA support than she did eight years ago.
