I can see Carson and Kasich dropping after SC.
Cruz isn't going to drop out period, Rubio and Bush would need to decide together who has the better chance and one will have to agree to drop, I don't see Bush doing that, it could happen.
That would still leave Trump, Cruz and Rubio and I don't think it will work to stop Trump, it needs to be a 2 man race going in to ST, and I think it's going to be a 4 man race.

I agree with Lights and Waves, actually. I like having supporters of both sides in the thread, but your tone and attitude are regularly aggressive and condescending. For example, it certainly wasn't "mature and fitting" to respond to Retro's respectful post by telling him to "NOT even try" comparing candidates and then make sweeping assumptions about all Clinton supporters.

Seriously though, and including the heart emoticons and the such. Like, come on people. It gets exhausting to hear Bernie supporters tell me that they know what's best for me, as if I'm some kind of uninformed voter.
Retro, those numbers are astounding!

I agree with you, both drop out after SC. Maybe Kasich could survive until Super Tuesday but that's as far as he goes
And yeah Cruz isn't gonna drop out. And Rubio/Bush together won't be enough to stop Trump because 1 v 2 (Cruz and Rubio or Cruz and Bush), Trump wins after Super Tuesday. It seems like he has the nomination locked up unless he says something totally egregious or every candidate drops out except Cruz

They vary. Another poll in Oklahoma released last week by a major publication had her at +13. He's doing really well with the independents and young voters, which is his strength.

The only reason I get attacked for this is because I am not a Clinton supporter. We get called "Conspiracy Theorists", we get people admittedly trolling and going on extremes to "rile up Bernie's cult", we get people posting articles against Bernie with messy titles to piss us off, Bernie getting called a "communist", unrealistic, unelectable, people justifying sexist comments against female Bernie supporters, etc. I could go on forever.
I'm not the one getting WPs and getting banned multiple times on here for calling out bias, I'm actually very mature compared to what's been thrown around on here. I get why you might not see the bigger picture because you support Clinton and you will naturally tend to attack me, but I do not accept people calling me immature and asking me to act like an adult. Go a few pages back to the trolling that was getting warned, go to the first page and check the OP that got banned twice for saying all sorts of absurd things in regards to Bernie and his "cult", the "Conspiracy Theorists", go check the ATRL sigs that troll Bernie's campaign. Please check reality.

Trump isn't gonna sweep the GOP SEC Primaries. He'll possibly take most, but look out for Cruz to make a splash. Cruz should take his home state, Texas, which is the biggest coup of the SEC primaries.

I hope if Bernie goes onto the general his rhetoric can mature a bit so that his responses in debates don't always tie back to Super Pacs and Wall Street. I get that his single issue focus helps drive donations, but republicans are going to clobber him if he doesn't start to pivot to broadening his answers to encompass more.

I'm finally starting to see negative Bernie articles about his lying and empty promises. Thank goodness. It went too long just seeing anti-Hillary articles on facebook.

Yeah there are a bunch of people in here that troll Bernie but no one says anything. Then as soon as you mention anything negative about Hillary, you get attacked. This thread has been biased since day one though.
