It seems that the endorsements of Killer Mike and Cornel West haven’t quite panned out for Sanders. Keep it up Madame Secretary.

I suppose there’s no accounting for taste.

Don’t be so hard on the bros.

According to some Sanders boosters on my FB feed that is just more evidence Clinton is terrible, because he is a “hedge fund manager”.

Especially those that have $250 million in the bank.

They EARNED the money, and it’s a statement that other women can do the same. Unless you think they should turn their backs on performing and become somebody’s wife instead.

When, she wins-she wins big. That is a good thing and a trend that inspires and brings more.

I don’t remember any 100% decisions but it’s looking possible.

Kos has it right. Endorsements don’t mean shit.

But Delegates and EV’s? They matter.

I note how few comments attended this piece, and it verifies what I have observed. There is remarkably little real enthusiasm for Sect’y Clinton. I live and work in what is essentially a Democratic bubble, and I know of one person in my entire circle who actually feels any enthusiasm for her. I dread this election.

Here’s an interesting point: More Democrats voted in Louisiana tonight than Republicans. Roughly 294 thousand Democrats and 292 thousand Republicans voted in the Louisiana primary. That’s not much, but Louisiana is a very red state. There has been a lot of talk about how Republican turnout has been so much better than the Democratic turnout in these primaries. I guess Louisiana was an exception to that.

Well its not like winning the state was some unexpected event.

Opus131 what is it you would like us to do to show our enthusiasm for HRC?

Why is Debbie Wasserman Schultz, chairperson of the DNC cosponsoring a bill that postpones the regulation of the payday lending industry. This industry specifically preys upon the low income,and minority communities that HRC is pledging to support, and help out. Why is HRC not speaking out against this. This fly’s in the face of everything she has said about regulating Wall Street,and the big banks
