Or IF she is hit by a meteorite. Both true.

DonDiego would prefer the meteorite resolution to her candidacy; it's cleaner and more certain.
And not subject to appeal.
There is NO truth to the rumor that Hillary is impervious to everything except kryptonite! It just appeared that way at the House Benghazi hearings.

Democrats and Socialists are now on the same team. Boiler does not find this surprising.

I don't see any Republican candidate managing to win 50% of the primary votes, as long as four or more candidates survive. It make no sense from any of them to drop out as long as the possibility of a brokered convention exist. I honestly don't see Trump or Cruz getting 50% of Republicans to vote for them in a crowded field, so it just might be that Bush comes in fourth and gains the nomination. Rubio has nothing to lose by staying in, and Bush knows he'll pick up a lot of support if their is a second ballot.

I've been in Vegas for awhile now and am,quite frankly, shocked how much support Sanders has. There appears to be a large portion of baby boomers who feel that they have been giving for years, have gotten next to nothing from the government in return and now think socialism just might be a better system. I met a couple by the pool yesterday who are retiring to Vegas later this year and came this week specifically to vote for Sanders in the caucus. He also has huugge support among the young.
I just found out I'm eligible to vote in the caucus. Having always voted in NY, this will be my first Presidential vote that actually matters, and it will be for a socialist' Given a choice, I can't vote for Clinton.

Nothing new about it. You know, like Medicare.

Okay folks, it's time to get bipartisan on this issue:

Any Democrat who feigns outrage that Trump may be cheated by superdelegates is a two-faced, phony "concern troll" who is utterly insincere, and just wants to find a way to criticize the other party.

Any Republican who feigns outrage that Bernie may be cheated by superdelegates is a two-faced, phony "concern troll" who is utterly insincere, and just wants to find a way to criticize the other party.

There, I think that covers it.
What about Democrats who are legitimately troubled that Senator Sanders may be cheated out of the nomination by super delegates?
What about Republicans who are legitimately troubled that Mister Trump may be cheated out of the nomination by super delegates?
Are they permitted to express their opinions?

For the record DonDiego i. is not outraged, ii. is not feigning outrage, and iii. is of the opinion that a Party may select its candidate however it chooses to do so. He also opines it would be of beneficial if the voters are aware of the selection process, so that they may approve, accept, be indifferent, be supportive, or be "outraged", and state their opinion.

Yes, by all means. But Democrats who are concerned about the Republican process, and Republicans who feign concern over the Democratic process are just phonies.

The Democrat Party has just awarded the Carolina Panthers 14 Superpoints, the
Super Bowl was a tie game!

The LVA Vegas Free-for-All Community is, indeed, fortunate to have forkushV among them to identify that which may be expressed and that which may not be expressed dependent upon their party membership, . . . under penalty of being identified as a "phony".

Umm, . . . what about Socialists? Can they discuss the policies of the Democrat Party, since they are likely to vote for Senator Sanders?
[n.b. The actual Socialist Party USA candidates are Emidio "Mimi" Soltysik (California) for President and Angela Walker (Wisconsin) for Vice President, but DonDiego supposes many members will vote for Senator Sanders.]

Oh, and Independents ? Are they permitted to discuss the activities of any political party, or none?

DonDiego just wants to know the acceptable limits upon his right to free speech.

They then flipped a coin & the Panthers won & since not enough black qbs have won the MVP, so they awarded the MVP award to Newton.
