Bollocks!

Thank you California! Iā€™ve already mailed in my vote for Bernie and will be hitting the phone banks this weekend. I feel sad for you hateful commenters that will no doubt attack me and/or leave unnecessarily negative and snarky comments about another Democrat still in the raceā€¦but then I realize that you are such an infinitesimal percentage of voters, i donā€™t really care.

Eh. With a sample size of 550 voters and a margin of error of almost 6%, maybe donā€™t count Hillary out quite yet.

According to our latest polls-plus forecast, Hillary Clinton has a 97% chance of winning the California primary.

I certainly donā€™t expect anyone to attack you. Many people at TPM voted for Sanders in the Primary and that is what you did since you support him.

I just hope you will vote for the Democratic nominee in November. I havenā€™t heard or seen one Hillary supporter who plans to do otherwise.

Join the Hillary supporters, Most have been experiencing that for some time.

TPM didnā€™t report on the SurveyUSA poll released Monday that had HRC up by 18 in California . As I said, polling that is favorable to HRC doesnā€™t make it to TPM.

Vote with your heart in the primary and with your head in the general. Thanks, kend90027, for participating in the democratic process.

I donā€™t get the reflexive defensiveness, though. Did you comment here hoping to provoke an ā€œattackā€?

In any case, I wish your candidate the best of luck, and hope that, should he not prevail, that you support the Democratic nominee. If he does prevail, Iā€™ll sure as heck be voting for him, and gladly.

If Bernie squeaks out a win in California, he still loses the nomination. Woo. I guess if the polling had him possibly winning 80%/20% then this might be interesting, otherwise itā€™s still just giving the illusion that thereā€™s still a contest here.

Mailed my California ballot in on Tuesday. I voted for Secretary Clinton.

538 has had that poll (may 13-22) up for a couple of days and gives it a .45 weight. A poll by Survey USA (may 19-22) has a weight of 1.91 and shows Clinton ahead by 18 %

Hereā€™s one for youā€¦

This guy attacks someone, while at the same time claiming victimhood. LMFAO!

There were plenty 4 years ago.

This poll is before the State Department report, which is likely to take a toll as well. Hillary has repeatedly stated that ā€œit was permittedā€. This is clearly contradicted by the report, further calling into question HRC honesty and trustworthiness. Two weeks is a lifetime in politics. A lot can happen.

Are you kidding? What does that have to do with now? BTW! I was an Obama supporter last time, but would have voted for Hillary if she had won the nomination. And this time I would vote for the nominee of the party as well. I am a Democrat, and that is the bottom line for me.

Look. The factual report of how Hillary supporters have been treated is just that. The person I ā€˜attackedā€™ was proclaiming anticipatory ā€˜victimhoodā€™ for the prospect of being disagreed with.

Iā€™m under no obligation to find him anything other than comical unless I make the truly insulting assumption that he will vote out of pure spite if anyone hurts his feelings.

Kend90027, I guess you decided not to continue the discussion since it didnā€™t turn out the way you hoped/expected. Iā€™m disappointed because I wanted you to see that we welcome all ideas here.

No doubt the media, including internet media like TPM, were anxious to deliver the coup de grace to Bernie Sandersā€™ Campaign. At this writing on 6/6/16 @ 7 PM PDT, Associated Press has declared Hillary the ā€œpresumptive Democratic nominee for US Presidentā€ - a pre-election annointing by media if ever there was one. So now, deflated and disgruntled California voters will stay home with a jug of Jack and let the Billary Campaign have California.
SHAME ON THE 4TH ESTATE AND THOSE HIGH AND MIGHTY PRIESTS OF THE ESTABLISHMENT WHO WRITE IN SUPPORT OF CORPORATOCRACY!!
