Whatever.

DAILYBEAST: The White Entitlement of Some Sanders Supporters: If you’re young, white and privileged, you don’t expect to lose. When you do, it must be because you got cheated. Blacks know better.

Well, people are already calling the "get ready, Donald - we're coming" tweet that Warren put out last night, either her endorsement or another sign that she will be Hillary's VP pick.

And she might lock up that nomination at 3pm today when the polls close. I don't think there's any polling data from P.R. and she has a history of doing great there. So, we'll see...

This election cycle has me drawing parallels between Hillary Clinton and tennis champion Serena Williams. Both are pioneering American women in their respective spheres yet they remain somewhat polarizing figures. While many Americans have finally warmed to them, there's a huge contingent that will root for anyone else by default.

None of those matter. This is all that matters, from yesterday's Reuters poll:



"Clinton leads Trump among women by 15 points. More surprisingly, perhaps, Clinton now also leads Trump among male voters. In mid-May, Trump led Clinton by 7 points among men. Currently, though, Clinton leads Trump by 8 points among men, a 15-point swing.

"Trump continues to lead Clinton among seniors. Voters older than 60 prefer Trump by 6 points, 43-37. Clinton dominates among young voters, though. She leads among voters younger than 35 by 30 points, 54-24. Clinton currently enjoys a bigger margin among young voters than President Obama did in 2012 against Mitt Romney."

"That would drive Bernie's cult INSANE and I think I would love it."

Spend your hate on Trump, and calling the people a "cult" who support him makes you and sabrelady look like children. The support he has gotten from working class and middle class Americans is mind blowing. He and his ilk are the future. If anything is a cult, it's the cult of Clintonites.

PJ, the people who liked Nader are the people who like Bernie right now. I hope you folks stop trying to demonize his supporters. Bernie Sanders is not the Ralph Nader guy. We all know the formula, and Bernie not supporting her is not going to happen. The day after the convention Hillary will be close to 65% in national polls.

For the umpteenth and ONE time: Nader took money from the GOP and spoiled it for Gore, who was a perfectly fine candidate and lost by a thread. Pull on that thread and it unravels to Ralph Nader, who turned his back on a lifetime of progressivism and took money from Karl Rove to help defeat Gore.

In this country, one thing is true: If you don't elect the Democrat, all you do is elect the Republican.

And that, as they say, is show biz.



We'll see whether the new voters in California outvote the Latino voters, who sometimes turn out in big numbers and sometimes don't.

The time for fighting among ourselves is over.



NY TIMES OP-ED: Sanders Fans, I Get Your Pain. But Let’s Unite Against Trump.

Zzzzzzzzzz.....

Let us hope. His recent statement "It will be a contested convention" is absolutely infused with a rancorous unwillingness to accept any concept of defeat. And every time he digs his heels in, his base doubles down with their conspiratorial fervor about rigging and theft. The Sarandon led preference for chaos -- in effect, "Let 'em eat Trump steaks!" -- permeates factions of Sanders' supporters, the belief that a Trump presidency will invite rioting, paralysis and thus spur Sanders-inpsired "revolution." (Form, as ever, TBD.). They completely ignore SCOTUS, quality of life legislation, threats of reversed hard-won Obama-era progressive achievement that impacts millions. The rarefied air they breath is clotted with self-indulgence and privilege. I hope the Clinton surrogates are clear-eyed about this faction's agenda as an immediate obstacle. They cannot be wooed, even with a far left choice for VP, only overridden with decisive action. After Tuesday, patience will be in short supply. The monster awaits us.
