Because America is stupid, we will have a Hillary Clinton Vs. Donald Trump Presidential election.
If Bernie Sanders somehow pulls off a win for the Democratic nomination, I'm voting for him. Otherwise, if Hillary Clinton wins the Democratic nomination, I'm voting for Donald Trump. I'm not voting for Monica Lewinsky's ex-boyfriends wife who let Americans die in Benghazi. I don't trust her as far as Monica Lewinsky could spit Bill Clinton's spunk (which obviously wasn't far since it was all over her blue dress).

oh my well You are going to be a little mad when she wins the presidency this November.

Good morning, can someone please explain to me this whole #whichhillary hash tag being used by people against her? One of my good friends who hates the fact that I'm supporting Hillary over Bernie tagged me in that video where the girl kept interrupting her. Then I went on my own and watched the speech from 1996 and didn't see where she singled out young black boys, am I missing something? I'm a 26 year old black make btw.

A certain subset (not all) of Bernie supporters who know that the day of reckoning is coming (Tuesday, March 1, 2016) got it trending after some paid Sanders supporter crashed a Hillary event. It's a desperate last ditch effort to convince black voters that Hillary is the devil incarnate to guilt them out of supporting her (even though, as you say, nowhere is it indicated that she's talking about all black people). Sanders's resume of accomplishments is thin outside of apparently taking the bullet for MLK, so this is the only tactic left in their toolbox.

No. Bernie won't win the Democratic Party's nomination because he won't have more pledged delegates from the primaries/caucuses compared to his opponent. She leads him by pledged delegates and will expand on that lead come tomorrow and on March 1st. She's polling well in many states to come.
I really don't understand the voting for Donald Trump because your preferred Democratic candidate didn't become the nominee. Trump is the complete anti-Bernie with his positions on critical issues. He doesn't have the temperament or competency to hold the lead role as the Leader of the Free World. You don't trust Hillary, but you trust Trump? Are you even the least bit familiar with the man's corporate history?
Look, I don't think Bernie is suited to be President, but I would damn sure vote for him over the alternatives across the other side. It's your decision in the end, good luck to you .

If the most recent polls are close to reality here is how many delegates each candidate would receive from super tuesday approx
Alabama:
Clinton-36
Sanders-24
Arkansas
Clinton-22
Sanders-15
Colorado
Clinton-39
Sanders-40
Georgia
Clinton-75
Sanders-41
Massachusetts
Clinton-57
Sanders-59
Minnesota
Clinton-48
Sanders-45
Oklahoma
Clinton-22
Sanders-20
Tennessee
Clinton-45
Sanders-31
Texas
Clinton-151
Sanders-101
Vermont
Clinton-4
Sanders-22
Virgina
Clinton-62
Sanders-48
Total
Clinton-561
Sanders-446
I was generous to Sanders on Colorado and Minnesota to reflect his momentum rather than the polling since they are caucus states. He would not be able to catch up to a 120 delegate lead unless he wins big in heavy delegate states like Michigan. Its hard to imagine any pathway to the nomination when you consider in the March 15th heavy delegate states of Illinois, Ohio, and Florida he is down by double digits.

120 delegate lead without SC? Damn
I remember starkly Hillary in 2008 being about 105 delegates behind Obama after Super Tuesday. She could never catch up even though she won states like Cali, PA, NY, FL, etc
If Bernie wants to be in virtually he needs to be less than 50 behind after ST

A lot of bias, deceit, fiction, unnecessary attacks, irrelevant defensiveness and a one-sided, preferential point of view that contributes nothing to the conversation and is probably not the particular kind of answer that person is looking for. What is going on, Benzene? Talk to us about it.

I really hate how horrible the Dem primary has become. Not between the candidates, but between the supporters. This was meant to be the opportunity for the Dem Party to distinguish themselves from the factional infighting of the GOP.

I mean ... There are good reasons to prefer Bernie over Hillary, but Monica Lewinsky is NOT one of them.

You know what will affect you? Her policies. And her policies are most similar to Bernie the person you WANT to win. Is Bill's raging erection or Benghazi going to play a role in what she's going to fight for if she won the presidency? No. Yet you're willing to vote for the near polar opposite of your ideology? Explain your logic please because I can't find any.

It makes sense when you realize Trump and Sanders both have one major thing in common: they both have a penis.

Yeah both supporters are so guilty of this. At the end of the day, a Democrat needs to stay in office.
There's too much at stake with the following term: Supreme Court nominations, a GOP Senate and Congress and just so much more.
The party needs unity, not division. At the end of the day, Bernie or Hillary would be much better than Rubio, Cruz or Trump (let's face it, unfortunately Kasich is just not gonna be the nominee despite being the most level headed on most of the issues barring abortion)
