For Trump and Clinton, winning isn’t enough

this is ridiculous. If Hillary wins, she wins. She already has a lead by 200 pledged delegates and 2.5 million votes. This race is not nearly as close as the media is playing it out to be, especially considering most of the primaries left are closed.

[screamingintune]

the media wants a nailbiter and that has been their M.O. in every election, so they pull that shit. Hillary is not getting indicted.

but don't tell that to Sanders supporters! according to them the media's totally in the tank for Hill!!!

I am a Sanders supporter but I also believe it helps Hillary (and the Democrats in general) for him to stay in. If he drops out, the media focus will shift completely over to covering the GOP side even more than it already does.

Barely pulling off a win in her home state would not be great for Hillary.

"Perception that the people want Bernie and the Party wants Hillary"

LOL whose perception is this??cause the votes say otherwise. Delegates and popular vote

The media is so transparent. They like this narrative of "ohh look how close this is on both sides" Realistically they know Hillary is sorta done and Trump close enough, but to keep people engaged they have to act like its a nail biter.

Back in 08 Hillary was behind by about 75 delegates and everyone was all "WHY ARE YOU STILL RUNNING" yet here we are 8 yrs later, she's ahead by over 200 and its a "nailbiter" lmao gimme a break.

It's pretty baffling, yeah.

lmao Nate Silver went in on Salon for making this implication on twitter the other day:

The 538 team has been giving me life in terms of shutting people down. MY Favorite was this one regarding people saying "yeah but she won the southern states"

Obama beat Clinton in 9 of 11 ex-confederate states. Fortunately for her, they didn't count it, so she won the nomination.

funny, i was just reading yet another article which broke down the statistics saying that it is almost mathematically impossible for bernie to make up the difference - even before you count super delegates. this constant speculation/back and forth about the likelihood of either of them being the nominee is so redundant at this point. i just wish one of them would drop out, but at least june is just around the corner.

i think people should really start preparing for the general election because there is going to be a lot of anger and disappointment no matter what come the convention.

someone linked this to on fb: http://demrace.com/ and had california at 75% bernie and the rest of the states 49 bernie / 51 hillary. I had to scoff. Yes it's possible for Bernie to come back....technically, but probability is definitely not on his side.

[screamingintune]

lol not a chance Bernie gets 75% of California.

[dorawa]

Lol even as a Bernie supporter, he'll be lucky if he even wins California.

Are we having a post for the New York primary?

Fox and MSNBC just called it for Trump (duh).

[tropicopenguin]

the NY times called it too

[littlelistmaker]

i don't know why cruz even bothered campaigning in ny. i know there are a lot of delegates but it was never going to happen.

The CNN Exit Poll had Clinton 52% and Sanders 48% but I have a feeling the margin is going to be larger.
