Re: 2016 Election
"Following Bernies Sanders New York upset, campaign manager Jeff Weaver appeared on MSNBC to say even if Hillary Clinton wins the all the delegates required to secure the nomination and leads the popular vote, the Vermont senator's campaign would fight to flip superdelegates all the way to the convention. "It's going to be an election determined by the superdelegates," he said, contradicting the campaign's previous power-by-the people rhetoric. "
Apparently Sanders no longer believes in the will of the voters.

OK, having been following this conversation for several months now but what does 'WFP' mean? The only thing I can find is World Food Program.

The WFP was, by some opinions, supposed to be Bernies saviour in NY. Ooops.

Wishful thinking on the part of the Republican establishment.

Trump also has the etch a sketch problem. You can't just shake your campaign and start again from scratch.

Re: 2016 Election
Now it looks like Clinton v Trump, I suppose we should be wondering who the VP picks will be and I wonder if that will be deciding factor. I will vote democrat but I really cannot stand Hilary Clinton, especially when she pulls those faces of her, they just come across as smug, condescending and false.
Also both of them turn 69/70 this year, so unlikely be 2 term Presidents, so the VP will be of utmost importance to both parties, I would imagine.
Did anyone see Paul Ryan on the
last night. Definitely a back room pick if it comes down to a third/fourth ballot.
