ValerianSteel:
Waiting on Puerto Rico results.Hillary is just 54 delegates short of 2383.

Missy89:


she will definitely get the nomination before California closes on Tuesday.

CFCman:
John King is saying that if the current results hold, Clinton will get 40 pledged delegates from Puerto Rico.

I'd prefer she gets to the magic number on Tuesday.

ValerianSteel:
PR is a win.28 delegates to go.

History in the making-First Female Presidential Nominee of a major party.It's been an uneasy race but Hillary Rodham Clinton has triumphed once again.That alone is victory in itself,Uncle Bernard can either share in this or keep hating.

No rigged system here,the people want the most qualified candidate.

Lucasbalo:
Gbam. We're almost there. The Bigoted one will see avalanche of attacks that he never imagined. The batting practice is almost over and the first inning is about to begin. It's going be very interesting 5 months.

ValerianSteel:
With Obama's official endorsement this week,it's gonna be an interesting five months.The worst of Secretary Clinton is already out there,the worst of Unfit Donald is just starting.

I look forward to the Debates even Hillary mentioned it when she came to Fresno a few days ago.That would be the annihilation of Trump.He can go back to his fraudulent ways thereafter.

Lucasbalo:
The Bigoted one will lose in a landslide that would be worse that the one suffered by Barry Goldwater against Lydon Johnson in 1964. The Senate will flip back to the Democrats and the House is a toss up. That's why the Republican establishment is scared to death. Good for them because they harbor his hatred and racism against Obama during the birther nonsense. Talk of chicken coming home to roost.

ValerianSteel:
Much worse,it would be the end of the brand called 'Trump' and definitely Congress is going Blue and no better candidate to win the election than Hillary,she has raised $65m for DNC to help those on the down ticket.This is more than enough reason for any Super Delegate to support her cause she knows the importance of keeping them in their seats unlike Sanders who has spent $200m on his own campaign alone and has raised nothing to support Democrats in Congressional races.

Right now I just want to see Sanders sent back to Vermont so we can focus on he who must not be named and make sure we bury him so deep he never has a chance to resurrect in American politics ever again.

RedCapChief:


Obama couldn't get Congress to go blue and you think Hilary is going to do it? Doubt that. Hilary will win in November because Trump looks like a bad candidate and not because she is a good candidate. I think the GOP will retain their hold on Congress, at least, to keep Hilary in check.

As for brand 'Trump', win or lose, expect a book from that fellow. A $$$$-generating book. Regardless of what happens, Trump comes out on top. The only losers could be the GOP

ValerianSteel:
Hillary had a 69% approval ratings upon leaving office as Secretary of State.The second highest rating in the history of polling.

http://firstread.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/01/17/16570642-nbcwsj-poll-nearly-70-approve-of-hillary-clintons-job?lite

Till this moment,Obama keeps praising her as one of the very best Secretary of States ever but conservatives have shaped the narrative to this orchestrating one scandal after the other.

The poll also found that 66% of those following the story closely now say that Clinton’s use of a private e-mail server while secretary of state likely compromised national security, which is up from 64% last month. More than a third of Democrats (37%) feel this way.

But more than half of Democrats (58%) say that she should continue to run for president, even if “the outcome of the FBI investigation finds that Hillary Clinton broke the law.”

Overall, 65% of those following the story say she should drop out of the race if the FBI finds she broke the law. Among independents, 71% would want her to quit.

Nearly two-thirds (62%) say Clinton should release transcripts of the three speeches she gave to Goldman Sachs in 2013, which earned Clinton $675,000 and have been brought up by Sanders as evidence that she’s in the pocket of Wall Street.

Overall, Hillary made nearly $22 million in speeches in just two years after she left the State Department. The IBD/TIPP Poll finds that 52% say the lucrative fees “raise concerns about Hillary Clinton as an ethical public figure.” Among Democrats, 30% say the speaking fees raise such concerns, as do 59% of independents.

CFCman:


A part of me believes that her 60% unfavorable rating is largely due to the email scandal. The person in the White House who leaked the issue to the press would be to blame if Trump nicks the election on Nov 8. It's an open secret in Washington that Secretary Clinton didn't have cordial relationships with some officials in the Obama White House, chief of whom was Valerie Jarrett.

I'm willing to bet that, without the email scandal and subsequent FBI investigation, Clinton's unfavorable rating wouldn't have soared above 50%.

ValerianSteel:
I totally agree, though I don't know the extent of the bad blood between Hillary and Valerie but one thing is certain,Hillary is said to have been Obama's biggest policy adviser on different range of issues,Obama is said to value her opinion above others and most times went along with Hillary's proposals and this riled up some top officials against Hillary as they felt she was super imposing and considered herself royalty for having the President's ear anytime.

Right now the email scandal has casted a dark shadow over Hillary's campaign.Judicial Watch is going after anything and everything they lay their hands on,the more coverage the email gets,the more negativity her campaign gets.

If Powell was not made to turn over a single email from his personal email,then why the guillotine hanging over Hillary after handing over 30,000 emails.Most definitely the only reason Hillary had the server set up was to avoid FOI into her .gov emails when she leaves office.Cause knowing how they've always gone after her,she took a decision that was wrong but not illegal and in no way has it put National Security in harm's way.

By now you'd expect the same Judicial Watch and even the media to have made calls for an investigation into Powell and Rice,we sure know their goal is not to scrutinize her emails,they have no care for transparency of any sort but a complete witch hunt openly funded by the GOP.

If there's one thing I've come to realize it's that Secretary Clinton rides out any storm with calm and diplomacy.Any human being that can survive a 13hr trial by vocal combat from republicans and come out unscath deserves more than a thumbs up,it means she did her job to the best of her abilities and couldn't be held responsible for what her abilities could not contain or handle.

The bolded suggests that liberals/progressives make up less than 40% of the Democratic electorate

CFCman:


If she wins in November, her performance at that House hearing would be described as one of the positive turning points in the campaign for her.

ValerianSteel:
Huh?

You might want to start being more positive.When she wins is more appropriate

CFCman:


Lol. I can't take anything for granted.

If George W. Bush could be re-elected despite bungling the invasion of Iraq, and only lost the popular vote in 2000 by 500,000 votes, I would still consider Trump as a formidable nominee.

This is actually a huge part of why I'm not just hell-bent on a woman president, but on 'Hillary Clinton' being that first woman president. We've said it til we're blue in the face here but she is the most qualified candidate to grace a ballot in decades and she's been shat on by everyone with an asshole along the way. She's taken punches from every balled up fist in the country and several more pairs abroad. She just refused to stop. I can't wait to have a president who cannot be taken down, and with a record proving it.

BREAKING NEWS:

The AP is already declaring Hillary Clinton the presumptive Democratic nominee.

By their count, she has garnered 2,384 pledged and super delegates. Sanders has 1,566 delegates

Even with the so called Republicon email scandal, there's no way the Bigoted one will Nick the election on November 8th. America is too diverse to elect a demagogic charlatan to the presidency.

CFCman:

I heard that Mr Trump has an African-American supporter
