Hillary has Florida and most likely the other 2 states. that will give her at a minimum 400 more delegates.
dave-dr-gonzo March 15th, 2016 at 20:05
But can she spook Der Drumpf like Bernie?
tracey marie March 15th, 2016 at 20:07
she already does.

LMAO GOP. Your many years of hateful rhetoric has caught up with you.

they are stuck with tRump, how embarrassing for them.

(AP) Florida · 214 Dem delegates & HRC won 58.5% of NC 107 delegates.
Hillary Clinton (1,358) won 118 Delegates | 64.8% 922,953 (FL, not NC are totaled)
Bernie Sanders (625) won 45 Delegates | 33.0% 469,518
FL ·99 GOP delegates won by klansman Trump (568) 45% 722,799
SUSPENDED CAMPAIGN: Marco Rubio ‘mommy voted for ME’ (163) 27% 416,218
Natural born Canadian Ted Cruz (370) 16.5%
Smart-guy John Kasich (63) 6.6% 108,909. Many of these (R) primaries (FL) are Winner take all. https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&es_th=1&ie=UTF-8#q=Hillary+Clinton+number+of+delegates+won&eob=m.09c7w0/R/3/short/m.09c7w0/g.11bx8s4sqh

Kasich wins Ohio.
Obewon March 15th, 2016 at 20:49
Shocker:) No Repub has ever won the presidency without OH! It’s over GOP!
Winning 2 of 3 FL. OH & PA in the general election, wins as POTUS HRC45.
tracey marie March 15th, 2016 at 20:50
She count get a historic amount of delegates and votes in this years primary/caucuses
Obewon March 15th, 2016 at 21:15
HRC won everything. Limbots Operation Chaos worked for Dems again!

tracey marie March 15th, 2016 at 20:55
Hillary just won Ohio.
mistlesuede March 15th, 2016 at 22:25
She is kicking Sanders a$$ tonight.
tracey marie March 15th, 2016 at 22:36
he has mo, that’s it. she will still get about 40% of those 71 delegates. Hillary is now at over 1300 with her super delegates
mistlesuede March 15th, 2016 at 22:40
Too bad we don’t have winner take all states. This would be done.
tracey marie March 15th, 2016 at 22:41
It is done, she is half way there and bernie would have to win 80% of the remaining campaign to even get close. She has over 2 million more votes them him, she is clearly the choice.
mistlesuede March 15th, 2016 at 22:42
Still waiting to see ONE Sanders supporter congratulate her like we always do for him. Yeah. Right.
tracey marie March 15th, 2016 at 22:47
Not going to happen.
mistlesuede March 15th, 2016 at 22:49
I know. Her supporters, like us, have so much more class. Did you hear how they cheered Sanders when she mentioned him in her speech? That is class and the way it’s been from the getgo.
tracey marie March 15th, 2016 at 22:51
I still get annoyed when the single payer issue comes up….It was Hillary who wrote and pushed it and Bernie is now pretending it is and has always been his idea and push.
mistlesuede March 15th, 2016 at 23:05
WALL STREET! Hehehe.
I actually emailed her campaign last week and begged them to have her start setting the record straight on trade because she was letting him blame her when she did not vote for NAFTA, as FLOTUS, and she did not vote for CAFTA in the Senate. She did a town hall last night with Chris Matthews. He was pretty tough on her regarding Iraq. But having her explain how she came to her decision on the vote and why she regretted it made total sense. She FINALLY talked about trade and explained it all out and I was relieved. I was afraid it was too late. I wish she had Obama’s campaign team. She wouldn’t have been taking a beating on that false issue.
I guess Sanders got his shorts in a knot today because Bill Clinton made a simple statement about the difference between the two candidates.
tracey marie March 15th, 2016 at 23:26
I heard that earlier, thought is was great. Looks like her lead will hold in Illinois, and bernie could win Mo by about 2%
mistlesuede March 15th, 2016 at 23:41
I think she handily ended all of his arguments tonight.
Kick Frenzy March 16th, 2016 at 21:28
I haven’t noticed him assuming that, but she has certainly exclaimed, practically screaming, that it will “NEVER, EVER’ work.
Which is weird that she’d turn on her own ideas like that.
tracey marie March 16th, 2016 at 21:36
Not what she said…what she said is with this congress it will not be passed and she prefers to expand and perfect the ACA instead of throwing all those millions off the exchanges and insurance

Like when you guys rip on Bernie for being older or spitting or continuously putting down Bernie supporters?
There are Bernie supporters on this site who congratulate Hillary on winning.
The difference is that it’s hard to be nice when we can’t trust her to hold just about any position she takes, while we know Sanders will stay true to his position.
He’s held the same positions for decades.
Most of her positions are things she “evolved” on in the past several months, some others in the past couple years.
That’s not an unfair poke or mis-characterization or being mean just to be mean… it’s cold, hard facts and is the reason Bernie supporters have such an issue with her.
Not to mention the way she twists the truth (at best) about Bernie at almost any chance she gets.
Kick Frenzy March 16th, 2016 at 21:24
Well, she squeaked by in a couple states.
Heck, in Missouri she’s only winning (not final yet) by 0.2% (631 votes).
It’s 1.8% in Illinois, with 1% still left to report… and that’s her home state.
In North Carolina and Ohio, she won with a healthy margin of around 14%
And in Florida, as expected, she won pretty big (but not as big as I’d expected).
Congrats to her for her wins.
(I just hope reports of her and Bill breaking the law by being inside and near polling places isn’t true… but there’s more evidence pointing to something about it being true than nothing.)
tracey marie March 15th, 2016 at 21:24
she is maintaining her lead in Illinois with almost 50% of the votes. Mo is still up in the air, not enough votes in and very close as of now.
William March 15th, 2016 at 21:24
OK, now he’s stepped over the line.
tracey marie March 15th, 2016 at 21:26

I love me some Karoli@crooksandliars.com for this: “Marco Rubio snuck in a quiet announcement that he was suspending his
campaign, but he was careful to bury it in a pile of old speeches, much
of which he stole from candidate Barack Obama.” http://crooksandliars.com/2016/03/marco-rubio-suspends-his-campaign-after
tracey marie March 15th, 2016 at 21:27
I listened and laughed….he talked about his mom for 5 minutes.
tracey marie March 15th, 2016 at 21:26
Kasichs daughter and wife are twins.

Very proper and middle America.
whatthe46 March 15th, 2016 at 21:32
to bad he’s on the wrong side.
tracey marie March 15th, 2016 at 21:33
He is not a good guy, he wants to take rights away from women and is strong on voter laws to disenfranchise minorities.
whatthe46 March 15th, 2016 at 21:47
see, he’s on the wrong side. if he loved his wife and daughter, he’d want them to be respected. it’s so apparent that only liberal politicians have respect for women.
mistlesuede March 15th, 2016 at 22:30
Exactly. He stands there talking humbly and seems so very nice. He and his family would at least not be an embarrassment if they were in the WH. But he had to be dragged kicking and screaming to take the medicaid expansion for the ACA and is turning back the clock on women’s choice. He still is not what we’d want, but the thought of the other two and their families would be horrible.
Obewon March 15th, 2016 at 21:47
Bhutan’s king Wangchuck married two twins, but neither are his daughter. Kasich maybe a superfreak! Just kidding… … …

William March 15th, 2016 at 23:50
Interestingly, European nations are growing concerned over Trump and his fanatical ideals. Some countries have sent observers to the USA, and former Soviet leaders are saying “See we told you America is an aggressive war mongering nation of bigots”. The also cite our decade long involvement in the middle east as proof. http://www.spiegel.de/international/world/donald-trump-is-the-most-dangerous-man-in-the-world-a-1075060.html

i don’t doubt it! and i’m pissed. the UK is debating on not even allowing tRump into the country. my son is going into the AF reserves, so proud of him, but, no way would i want him to go active if repukes are in charge.
