    besides, hillary is going to get obliterated by trump. his supporters do not work with reason or logic and he will bombart her with attacks. has much less leverage to use against bernie other than "socialism omg!!1!>!?!11"

    As I said before, we in America have wonderful, old basic minded people who don't use the internet (even if they did, they stay being morons), watch TV or listen to radio for all their info & will vote on what they hear without proper research. Old school Democrats have been waiting for Hilary because they believe Bill will call the shots in the background & Bill, though far from my favorite president was & still is very likable to them. I'm gonna say that's half of the US population over 50 at the least & they'll hear about Hilary winning & ride the wave

    hillary has only won southern states so far, things should be clearer in a few weeks as we move to the west and north with more educated voter blocs. while things fare well for currently, far from over

    You're trolling right? Lol. Do you really think Trump will beat Hillary? I mean there's a chance but.... Like, I'd say 25% chance tops.

    Hillary won 83% of the African-American vote in all the primaries today. Jesus Christ.... She also won the Hispanic vote by a pretty sizable margin as well, 63%.

    Not at all. Head to head nationwide polling shows her barely scraping by him. Plus I think Trump gets a portion of Sanders supporters that liked the "outsider, not bought" s---. Independents will favor Trump. And Hillary will garner no excitement and turnout will be low. That's when Repubs win.
    I know, those A-A margins are f---ing nuts.

    I mean seriously, I live about a hour away from Canada as it is. If Trump wins, that's a scary a--- situation we're all in. lol. You can't even blame me.

    Head to head polling means really minimal this far out though especially when they aren't running against each other or really focusing on each other yet. Also, you're wrong with independent voters. Trump is extremely unpopular with independent voters.

    As far as "garner excitement" I think the idea of trump becoming president will do enough of that. If he wins the nomination, minorities, youth & women I think are going to run to the voting booths in huge numbers come November.

    538's margins were all over the place last night. Not knocking them, I'm an excel geek as well but their models have both over valued and undervalued certain demographics. For instance Minnesota and Oklahoma. Although I agree, Sanders has always been a long shot, but I don't think it's over. That's my objective opinion. We will see what other mid-west states do in the next week or two. Mainly Michigan and Wisconsin. The last state, California has over 400 delegates rewarded, I wouldn't be surprised if polls start showing him ahead there. We will see if a Clinton v Trump general happens, but that's just my opinion. "Record numbers", lol, I think this country will let you down. Unfortunately.

    Really scared that Trump might just be declared the most fitting candidate. If you'd have asked me if this MFer would have been allowed to run with the campaign he's using now, "YEEEEEEARRRRRRS" ago, I'd have said you were out of your mind. But I'd have probably said that before I turned 14. Because as soon as that happened, Arnold Schwarzenegger was elected California Governor within another month or so. Politics determined by monetary fecundity rather than moral and ethical efficacy is why Western Civilization became a d--- caricature of its former self; shouldn't even be a popularity contest when it comes to who is more qualified to run any sector of the country.

    Their models have been pretty accurate throughout the race though especially considering Trump and Bernie have changed the game a bit. Sanders very well could win those states but with how far behind he is behind, he'd need big margin wins. Not only do I not think it's realistic he wins all of them, the ones he does win, I don't think he'll win by big enough margins. We'll see though.
