But, it's not just "my guy" that I'm bemoaning about here--it's the amount of coverage given to the Dems in general.

I have absolutely no problem with detailed minute by minute documentation of the appalling train wreck that is the Republican presidential race.

His facebook page, says they want 40,000 people for an event in da Bronx today. If he pulls that many, I believe it will move the needle here.

Wonder how he'd draw in Harlem.

You ever been to the Bronx?

Me? Of course. I have friends that live there.

I agree with the Harlem assessment. I've heard, Hillary has written off Wisconsin and did an event in Harlem yesterday, where she is well-known.

If Bernie went there and drew a comparable crowd, the race would be on.

No not you Duffield. I realize what the Harlem comment means ,but that borough hardly guarantees the states win

The real question for me,is whether Hillary will go anywhere upstate,you know where more than half of the state of New York resides.

She must. Can't imagine otherwise. I may even run into her in the Hamptons this w/e. Though that is hardly upstate. I'm due to bag a section of AT and a SHP that day. Prolly won't vote.

check the comments here out. The comments may surprise some. NY, is in play. Can't trust the polling.

Seems superdelegates are starting to flip as well. No numbers though

Hillary's approval rating as a twice-elected senator from NY was above 50%. That's what I expect her margin of victory to be on April 19. I'd guess 54/46.

Duffield,to your earlier post that some superdelegates are flipping,some are definitely not.http://www.huffingtonpost.com/brian-hanley/alaskan-superdelegate-sti_b_9579342.html

I would too Warbler but according to the NY Times & Washington Post, if the Zombie candidate Trump wins the Republican nomination, he would be entering the general election with the worst approval rating of any candidate in modern times. If Trump has another disastrous week like this last week, especially his interview with Chris Matthews, the Republicans will likely try to take him down in a contested convention, especially if he doesn't reach the magic # 1,237 delegates...OR they may go for a nuke option.

That means the Hillary is going to try to get the nomination by any fraudulent means necessary because who ever runs against Trump will win.

Ledge Rat...my point is that I don't think Trump will be the Republican nominee especially after his disastrous week, including the resignation of the Make America Great Again Super PAC Communications Director, Stephanie Cegielski

Check out here open letter to Trump supporters...

My guess is that Kasich will emerge from the Convention as the Republican nominee. In any case, I would much rather see Bernie rather than Hillary debate the Republican.

Trump should have to make out with Mitch McConnell on a live Fox broadcast to prove his loyalty to the hard core right...Of course pyro would be in on it running his fingers thru Trumps sticky hair...
