Already Trump is talking about the polls showing him beating Clinton,so we could be in for a repeat this year.

Despite the 'probably' qualifier and the 'in-laws-in-various-parts-of-the-States' buttress - the 'half the country' statistic with regard to a majority not supporting both a woman's right to choose as well as same sex marriage is wrong.

Here are some same-sex marriage polls. Not only is themadpooper wrong, but it's pretty clear which direction that issue is moving in:

Marriage | Gallup Historical Trends

Yup. I think this is where the right wing "anger" issue comes from. People who live in a pretend world, one that denies the truth of what the rest of the world is doing, tend to get upset and confused when reality comes knocking.

Right - and Gallup's 60% support statistic (May 2015) even pre-dates the Supreme Court ruling.

....and by the way, with regard to 'MP's' drivel - liberals are not 'for abortion' - only sadists might be.

They are for a woman's right to choose.

There is a difference

Sanders wins the Wyoming caucus. Looks like the delegates split 7 to 7. Five Thirty Eight's target for Clinton was 5, so in their eyes this was another Sanders victory that takes Clinton closer to the nomination.

Tho he beat her by an 11% margin, thats not reflected in the 50-50 apportionment of pledged delegates. Furthermore, Clinton scooped up all 4 Super Delegates who've already committed to her.

This nets loser Clinton 11 delegates and winner Sanders 7

I call that fair

I don't think that you understand how the caucus system works. The caucus votes also aren't allocated by popular vote, either.

The reality is that Bernie Sanders is losing the popular vote in states that don't use the caucus system; on the whole, he is well behind Clinton. So unless you think that there is a good reason for the guy who is coming in last to win the nomination, there's nothing to be upset about.

I think most people realise how the system works, why do you think so many people are pissed?

You've never mentioned any particular reasons in any of your posts, even though you comment about her several times per day. If you don't know why you're such a whinger, then why should anyone else?

I think you need a new calculator.

I find it amusing that you are willing to devote so much time and effort to complaining about Hillary Clinton, yet you've never once explained your reasoning. Which suggests to me that you don't have a reason.

March 29th was the last time I mentioned Hillary. I suppose I could keep repeating myself but why?
