And he LOVES all the free publicity. He loves not having to pay a dime for it. Wherever he goes, whatever he says or does, the cameras are there.

So you thought Sanders was defeated? Not so in Indiana!

Bernie Sanders upset Hillary Clinton in Indiana's Democratic primary Tuesday night, giving his flagging campaign another reason to carry on to Philadelphia even though he has virtually no chance of overtaking Clinton for the nomination.

With more than three-quarters of precincts reporting, Sanders led 53 percent to 47 percent.

Say does anyone have the numbers for Indiana?

"Right now, Sanders looks like he’ll earn about five to 10 more delegates than Clinton in Indiana. That means Clinton will have an elected delegate lead by the end of the evening of around 280 to 285 delegates. In order to catch Clinton in the elected delegate count, Sanders would need to win over 65 percent of the remaining elected delegates. That’s actually higher than it was before Indiana voted."

This Is What a Republican Attack on Bernie Sanders Would Look Like

This piece is absolutely right - the GOP would have a field day with Sanders.

Hillary has been the subject of intensive scrutiny and intensive negative campaigning, not to mention all the outright smears, for decades. Bernie has had the benefit of not being scrutinized because no one on the GOP side has taken him, or is taking him, seriously.

Why the Clintons Don't Fear the Coming Armageddon With Donald Trump

I like the word "relative" in the subtitle "Hillary Clinton’s ultimate trump card will not be her gender but her relative humanity" of the article you posted

 

[beancounter]

According to this article, Hillary will beat Trump , no contest.

The GOP’s electoral-map problem is not about Trump. It’s about demographics.

I await the return of pork belly futures and Whitewater ...

I get that name calling is a part of the election, but one candidate telling another that they're a bad mother, on Mother's Day, is crossing a line.

Agreed, 100%. Ms. Stein seems to have more than a little bit in common with Donald Trump.

"This is the demographic that eats itself into obesity in front of bad TV — reality shows such as The Apprentice, which brought Mr Trump into their lives. Here was a man who spoke his mind and fired people. He may have been a schmuck but he was an open book. “I love the poorly educated,” he said after one primary victory. Mr Trump knows his market."
