Waddaya' mean, what if ?

The cankled one is done, both sides ... twice

[buckalfa]

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

[Donglalinger]

She still gets half the delegates and wins the nomination.

[babble-on]

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.

[Pearls Before Swine]

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

[apillar]

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.

[rfreedom4u]

Hildabeast will find a way to steal it.

[Personal Responsibility]

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.

[HangUpNow]

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.

[Robert DeLong]

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.

[Mr. Jeeves]

The League of Ugly Women Voters will crank up the vote fraud machine in California, just like they’ve done for Boxer and Feinstein all these years. Hillary will win a comfortable victory.

[baltimorepoet]

I wonder. Obama doesn’t like Hillary and would probably figure that Bernie would be more likely to continue Obama’s policies. Polls seem to indicate Bernie would do better against Sanders than Clinton.

I wonder if Sanders wins California, Obama has a talk with the Democratic leadership about Hillary leaving the race, a deal where basically Hillary gets pardoned by Obama as a carrot.

The stick would be where Obama lets the DoJ indict Hillary.

Is there any good way to distribute the Anarchist’s cookbook to Bernie supports BEFORE the Dem convention?

Not that I’m trying to incite anything. I think Bernie supporters would enjoy it as, ummm, reading material.

This is a simple formula:

1) If Dinobernie wins CA, Cankles wins the nomination, Dinkbernie supporters are outraged, Trump wins the general.

2) If Cankles wins CA, Cankles wins the nomination, see#1 above.

3) If the DNC for any reason substitutes Plugs Bite-Me, BOTH sets of supporters are outraged, Trump wins the general.

4) The big threat is that Cankles wins, tries to buy off Dinobernie supporters by naming him veep. Trump may well lose that.

Perhaps Alamo girl will have to update her downside legacy list

[Opinionated Blowhard]

Nothing. The fix is in.

[pgkdan]

We certainly live in interesting times.

[Straight Vermonter]

Biden has relatability and a campaign skill set Hillary can only dream of.

When he ran 8 years ago only 5% of democrats voted for him. He is hardly a campaign juggernaut.
