It's getting obvious that she needs to buy his acquiescence and support or risk losing too many of his voters. Isn't this her only chance?

She doesn't need those voters to win the nomination, so who cares? It's all about the SuperDelegates and she has them all in her pocket. I don't know how Democratic conventions work, but I can't see it going multiple balloting rounds or something like that.

I don't know how Democratic conventions work, but I can't see it going multiple balloting rounds or something like that. I was referring to what happens after the convention. She has to find a way to make Bernie's voters support her in the general election and the most obvious way for this to occur is to make him her VP choice.

I think that's crazy, but I wouldn't put it past that slick witch to try. Why would Sanders be dumb enough to accept, though? He'd be more effective staying a Senator. Unless he has a secret plan to off her and take the throne...

Well, judging by her constant coughing, fainting spells, fatigue, and probable chronic illness she might not make it too long anyway. Plus he can get her to agree to certain issues that he finds important like socialized health care. He realizes that he can't win and she realizes that she needs his voters.

Needs voters for exactly what, though? The voters don't decide Presidents in primary or general elections; delegates do. Don't confuse the popular vote with choosing the winner; that's just the backup plan in case there is an unresovable tie with delegates or something like that. Shit, last time that happened, Congress gave the election to the least popular candidate! In other words, I'm skeptical. Sanders voters and Slick Hilly voters are like Democrats vs Republicans. They loathe and hate each other. Slick Hilly is about as progressive as a hillbilly is an intellectual. She's just a Republican in drag.

Actually, maybe she does need them for a "popular mandate"... she's too RINO. Why would anyone vote for her over Trump? But do they need her? Hahahahaha! Better they let her crash and burn and stay in position to be agitators.

I'm still voting for Trump unless Sanders disposes of her somehow. She's not principaled at all, just a political opportunist.

Obama might allow the DOJ to dispose of her anyway. But somehow they'd have to have Biden usurp Sanders. Biden is waiting in the wings.

Trump has a campaign rally in New Mexico. Riots ensue. A Trump supporter in a wheelchair is attacked. Rocks are thrown at police. Mexican flags waved. Trump's popularity is about to rise again!

I really wonder if Hillary will be allowed to run. Bad, corrupt candidate who looks like a loser. How will they get rid of her and who takes her place?
