They probably view this as an attempted coup

Well to be fair it's also just because he is the more popular candidate with a better political future ahead of him. Nothing fancy behind bandwagonning.

This must be a hard pill to swallow because there had to have been a time where Hillary and her team just laughed at Barrack Obama as a potential candidate or even a threat.

I mean how long has Hillary been crafting her plan to run for President? At least 8 years right?

She is now saying that she should be the nominee because she does better with the White vote. I'm going to find the quote, brb.

Too bad she doesn't do better with THE vote.

It wouldn't hurt if she won more delegates.

Check this shit out on CNN. Its a delegate calculator. They only way she can win is if she runs at 70% the rest of the way with all remaining delegates. Put in realistic numbers and its pretty clear that she has about a 1% chance of winning.

Clinton told USA Today she will be the stronger nominee because she appeals to a wider coalition of voters. She said, “Obama’s support among working, hard-working Americans, white Americans, is weakening again, and whites in both states [meaning Indiana and North Carolina] who had not completed college were supporting me.” Clinton says this shows an emerging pattern… that whites are voting for her. The Obama camp calls these statements untrue and disappointing.

I think that the fact the Hillary is still in the race the speaks to her ability to make decisions and lead the country. She obviously puts herself and her friends before her her party and her country. Do we really want W light?

PS- I think she may drop out tommorrow, the talking heads are brutal today. The longer she stays in the worse she looks as a potential President.
