If you are a Hillary fan
she is for a 3rd party run, even if it puts Hillary in, she is just a #nevertrump

i agree. much of Clinton's momentum and later wins against Obama came in states with large working class white populations. i'll let someone else do the structural racism math.

her campaign was aware of the existence of structural racism and how it can motivate and influence votes, and used it (i.e., he needed to DENOUNCE Louis Farrakhan's endorsement) to win votes from working class whites, traditionally not the most black-friendly group out there.

it's subtle, but Sanders may not himself be a sexist but is aware of institutional sexism and his campaign may use it to help win him votes against a woman in the same way that Clinton is not herself a racist but is aware of institutional racism and used it to help win her votes against a black man in 2008.

I guess, this

https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs...continuing-on/

I see her closing with 3rd party argument

I do think Cruz and his people are looking at 2020, Reagan named VP in 76, trying to contest nomination that Ford got and lost to Carter

Tonight's story is Trump assending, one on one, well over 50 per cent, in conservative state
Hillary is in a tight race, she is slipping

Assending?

Is that like ending an ass, Ted Cruz? Or like rear-ending [Ted Cruz]?

I think it was stupid of Cruz to add that narrative as win or go home for Indiana. He can still blockade Trump. But now he looks stupid.

Explain this blockade to me, when Trump will have over 1300 delegates.


Bernie railing against Walmart, seems hypocritical, he and his wife obviously get their wardrobes there.


Edit to add
now? He looks stupid,

He's poured $500k into Cruz. Laid off 60 workers.

It's a stretch due to California and New Jersey's delegate allocation, but we knew this pre-Indiana. There's no difference between Indiana and [insert state here] where Cruz is going to lose. So why not just keep going?

Because no candidate that takes himself seriously ever has, he just goes further down the sore loser road and alienating himself from millions
But he is a complete jack ass, so why not?

We know you're a trump guy and all...

Trump doesn't have a majority of the vote. It's totally justifiable for the other candidates to attempt to blockade his candidacy and shoot for a contested convention. Cruz isn't alienating himself any further than he already has. There's many people who support the man as the enemy of of an enemy, considering he never stood a chance to win. Drop your bias.

Sanders is toughing it out, why shouldn't Cruz?
