So close to HRC becoming the 1st female POTUS and one of the most iconic POTUSes (lol) to ever get elected.

Clinton has this nomination in the bag. She needs less than 100 pledged delegates for the nomination and is leading in the pledged delegates and the popular vote for there's no reason for superdelegates to side with Sanders.

It's the struggle being an educated 23 year old. Bernie bandwagoners supporters are taking the Oregon victory so over the top on social media. They really have no clue, and Bernie only adding to the fire by not being up front with them. 
I'm literally holding my fingers back from clocking them on the spot.

I did the math (which I'm not very good at lol, so this might be completely wrong  ) and before last night, Bernie needed to win about 66% of the remaining pledged delegates for a majority (2026), now he needs about 70%.
If he...
...loses the Virgin Islands by 1% (delegates: 3 - 4)
...loses Puerto Rico by 16% ( 25 - 35)
...wins Montana by 42% ( 15 - 6)
...loses New Jersey by 20% ( 51 - 75)
...loses New Mexico by 18% ( 14 - 20)
...wins North Dakota by 66% ( 15 - 3)
...and wins South Dakota by 50% ( 15 - 5)
...he needs to beat Hillary 85-15 in California only for a majority in pledged delegates. 
And he'd still need to steal her superdelegates after that to win the nomination. |

Trump - Poison / Steel
Bernie - Fairy / Flying
Hillary - Fighting / Ground
Trump is obviously a toxic person and he is as stubborn as a hunk of metal. Trash.
Bernie has magical fairy powers that will give us free college and healthcare. That's the only way he could fulfil his promises, right?
Hillary, unlike Bernie who has his head in the clouds, is quite grounded and knows what can and can't be done. She's a fighter for minorities and Americans and general, and she's also had to fight for herself many times.

Since when Brazil and Argentina are "socialist/communist" countries or in the same political environment as Venezuela?
Stay in school please.

This is all wrong. Bernie, with a Republican-lead government is very unlikely to change the country much. We'd probably just see a stagnant environment. The only changing struggle we'd have would be abroad. Donald Trump would actually have the support in government to enact dangerous change. Bernie is not dangerous as a presidential nominee. He's only dangerous now in hurting Hillary's chances which may help the real threat, Donald J. Trump, get elected.

@Nate_Cohn: Okay, so you don't like closed primaries. Clinton won 12 open primaries for a net-287 delegates. All S wins (closed/open/caucus) = net-226
lol why he dragging?

Donald Trump has released a list of 11 judges whom he would consider nominating to the U.S. Supreme Court if he is elected president and the late associate justice Antonin Scalia's seat remains empty.
The Associated Press reported that these names are on the list: Steven Colloton of Iowa, Allison Eid of Colorado, Raymond Gruender of Missouri, Thomas Hardiman of Pennsylvania, Raymond Kethledge of Michigan, Joan Larsen of Michigan, Thomas Lee of Utah, William Pryor of Alabama, David Stras of Minnesota, Diane Sykes of Wisconsin and Don Willett of Texas.

The problem is that he probably did not even have an input in that list. His surrogates told him to go for that.
I doubt Trump has any ideology and set stance on issues. That's why he should not be president. Liberal, moderate, conservative, or not.

He seems like a loudmouth puppet of the GOP at this point. A bit disappointing to me.
