This. She's a liar. She says anything that gets her the presidency. At least Trump says what's on his mind. No one know what Hell is thinking.

Embarrassing. Trump is widely regarded liar, come on now. Pay attention.

Bernie voted against gay marriage in 2006, so both him and her came around to gay marriage and gay rights around the same time.

Bernie Sanders was 'there' on same-sex marriage 20 years ago

I have a hard time understanding why this is sooo major when she did fight for gay rights when more than half the country was still against it. She arguably done more for gay rights than many gays who remained on the sidelines.

Besides people don't just vote on just one issue, otherwise there wouldn't be gay conservatives.

Hillary will have about 1,640 delegates by the end of the night. 2,383 needed to win. Draw your own conclusions.

She's a Democrat. No one in the Democratic Party is going to backpedal when it comes to LGBT rights. We're a very large base in the party now.

If superdelegates were going to decide elections in this modern day they could have done it in 2008 if they truly wanted to. The superdelegates saw in 2008 how Obama was picking up steam and they switched, as they should have. While antiquated, the superdelegate system is a formality and doesn't really influence anything.

Because she's always fought for LGBT rights, it just took her a little longer to come round to gay marriage, like it did with Bernie Sanders and a lot of people in Western culture. She's for it now, that is the main thing.

Sanders has closed the Ohio gap slightly to 57-41 and is leading Missouri 51-47. Still a major underperformance for him in the former state.

MO 26%

Trump 43.1
Cruz 40.3
Kasich 8.1

Missouri is probably going to be like Michigan. Kansas City and St. Louis (the biggest metropolitan areas) either have just finished polling or some still are and haven't been taken into account yet. That could lead either way but both have a high AA population and she is currently leading with less than 1% in each so far.

I have to say, Illinois is a little nerve wracking... Does anyone think Bernie may snatch it???

Wasn't he against nation-wide gay marriage very recently?

In 2006, he refused to really go in depth about it and said it was a states issues and he was okay with civil unions... So, Hillary's exact stance in 2008.

Doesn't change the fact that he voted against gay marriage quite recently. One's voting record speaks volumes.

So Bernie for sure won't get picked? Why are so many people voting for Hillary btw? There was so much hype for Bernie. Is it the racist republicans who are homophobic and against Bernie?

well, some musical artists have a ton of hype then don't win the charts or awards...

No. 75% of the Democratic electorate is the Chicago area and it's heavily diverse. Hillary has that on lock.

All that matters is she is for it now and supports our rights.

Some of my family members were homophobic before I came out and now they are pro-gay and are supportive of gay rights and ending discrimination.

I would never hold their past views against them or anyone else who changes their mind for the better. Silly argument really.

You're clearly not listening to her if you believe this. I question your judgment on this race if you're unwilling to pay any attention to her.
