Ivanka would make one hell of an epic First Lady surrogate. Whenever I see her speak she just emits power.

Ivanka is beautiful, cultured + articulate

Sandra Bland's mother, Geneva Reed-Veal, did an interview with THE ROOT, setting the record straight about some people saying that HIllary and her camp were exploiting Geneva.

Q: How do you respond to the criticism that these campaigns are exploiting black family tragedy for votes?

A: I listened to those who said that about endorsing. Let me tell you. I’m an adult and I’m not being exploited. I’m not being exploited by anybody. I supported Hillary in 2008, and if someone of their own free will wants to come out and work for a campaign then that’s not exploitation. Hillary reached out to my family last year. She sent a handwritten note. She met with me and other mothers in Chicago. No press was there, no one talked about all the things she’s done for me and my family. And let me be clear, had I not lost Sandy, I would still be out there endorsing and working for Hillary.

In the end, every family has a right to endorse whomever it wishes. Even if that means different candidates (Eric Garner’s mother supports Clinton, while his daughter supports Sanders). But Geneva Reed-Veal presents what is arguably a very different take on the role of black death and campaign endorsement.

Regardless of the intentions or motivations of the campaigns, if someone was an active supporter before, the loss of a son, daughter, husband or wife shouldn’t delegitimize his or her endorsement. We may never know how Trayvon Martin or Sandra Bland or John Crawford would have voted in 2016, but if their families believe that allying with a campaign may prevent the next tragedy from happening, they should do whatever they can to honor their lost loved ones.

Morgan provides the tone her campaign needs moving forward.

Why do you guys think Jeb fell this year while Clinton has remained pretty strong? The liberal base isn't as angry as the conservative base? The GOP field was more cluttered and splintered establishment support for Bush? Clinton adapted to Sanders better than Bush adapted to Trump? The Bush name and history is more toxic than Clinton? The differences between the two are interesting to examine, given their relatively similar circumstances.

I think that all four of those are contributing factors to Hillary's resilience compared to Jeb's fading. Additionally, I'd like to point out that Hillary is just a better politician, speaker, debater, and persona in general - likability numbers can say what they want, but Hillary is more entertaining for the general person, and she's better at what she does.

The biggest factor though is probably that the establishment failed to coalesce behind Bush as it did for Hillary. It was there for her from day one and remains behind her, whereas it was only an assumption that it would get behind Bush on the other side, and that never came to fruition. That hurt him more than anything else. In a solely Bush vs. Trump battle, he could have come out the victor. With Rubio, Kasich, and even the non-establishment Cruz stealing both establishment/regular Republicans and the conservative vote, Bush was starved of political oxygen and left to die. That wouldn't have happened if the establishment had been immediately behind him.

Predictions for Nevada? How big the gaps will be for the GOP candidates, etc

[Monceau]

Rubio will come close to Trump in Nevada.

Donald Trump's political strategy will go down in the history books as changing politics forever. Same with Bernie Sanders.

I am literally in awe currently watching Donald Trump on Fox News acting presidential and mature. He just complimented every other candidate and is talking about assuring all Americans healthcare.

I'm extremely interested to see what plays out in the next month or two.

That, plus Harry Reid and the establishment swooped in to save her at the last minute. She's very lucky her husband (not her) has such a strong rep with Blacks.

I thought Hillary supporters were supposed to be the kind ones?

Granted, he shouldn't have said that there will always be a chance to elect a woman president (which is likely true), but still.

Sorry to tell you but there is no republican base anymore. Donald basically fractured the party and they are just different small tribes trying to find their way. The democratic party is way more united in every aspect.

YES! YES! YESSSS! The crowd was everything during yesterday's victory speech.

What was this supposed to show? That there are bad apples in every person's camp? True

Please can Cruz drop out? He's disgusting.

And Marco is embarrassing to watch. He's force fed every word he speaks

Some Hillary stans claim that only Bernie stans can be mean. Probably because those specific Hillary stans think that if someone doesn't like a specific woman that means he/she is sexist.

In no way do I think that's what the majority of Hillary stans think though. I'm sure many do prefer her policies.

Did you watch CNN last night? The exact thing happened by Bernier supporters to a Hillary supporters at University of Nevada in Reno during the caucus.

Hmm. That might be true, but I can assure you no one in here claimed that nor do they think (at least publically) that not supporting her is sexist. I don't support Carly Fiorina and I'm not sexist
