By April 22nd, Hillary will have won only 2 primaries in an 11 week period of time.
Since Super Tuesday, Hillary has only won 2 state primaries.

By April 22nd - an 11 week period of time - Hillary will have won just 2 states.

Just 2. In 11 weeks.

11 weeks is almost a 3 month period of time.

Does that sound like a "viable" candidacy to you?
Really?
Does it?
I don't think it does.

Does that sound like she has "electability" going for her?
Really?
She can't even win primaries from within her own party!

If anyone else running for President had only won 2 state primaries in a 3 month period of time, they would have quit by now.
They would have been laughed off of the stage.
They would have had enough humility to give it up by now.

1. She won 3 primaries, lost two caucuses and and two primaries.
That's the most accurate way to depict it.

3. She only won Ohio and Rhode Island, for a net gain of 13 delegates.
She lost Idaho by 15 delegates.

Idaho wipes out any gain Hillary made since Super Tuesday.

11. She won the Texas Primary and lost the Texas Caucus.
My statement is correct in every sense.

26. Let's be more accurate - Obama won the state of Texas, 98 to 95.
Because of their primary/caucus type, she won half of the method used, the primary, but lost the caucus, so she lost the state.

But, thanks for splitting hairs.

Lol

She only won 2 states since February 5th!

2. If she wins Pennsylvania, it will be 3 states in 3 months.
That still doesn't make her a "viable" candidate.

Does it?
I don't think so.

4. And Obama has won very few of the large states and the true blue states since he started.
furthermore, Ohio, Texas, and Rhode Island equal three primaries.

5. Maybe in Hillaryopia
But out here in the world, the primaries are decided by delegates.
And by that measure, the measure that counts... Hillary lost Texas.

18. You're gambling a lot on that state given your positions in Ohio, Florida, and Pennsylvania.
considering the demographics, I wouldn't plan on carrying Missouri in November any more than I would plan on carrying Mississippi.

17. Unless you count
MO, VA, WI, IA, MN, WA, and according to Survey USA SC, CO, NV (an Obama delegate win) -- those states alone make up as many as 75% Clinton's total wins, and NC and SD and maybe OR will both be battlegrounds that Obama wins. That is what I can think of offf the top of my head.

30. Oh, well, shit, these were Hillary's talking points today. I shoulda known.
That and the pastor thingy.

Man, it's like Obama is responsible for everything everyone ever did - it's all his fault.

Even Ferraro is blaming the Obama camp.
How lame is that?

8. But we all know Obama won the biggest.
Alaska is the largest of the 50 states, with a total area of 591,004 sq mi (1,530,699 sq km). Land takes up 570,833 sq mi (1,478,456 sq km) and inland water 20,171 sq mi (52,243 sq km). Alaska is more than twice the size of Texas, the next-largest state, and occupies 16% of the total US land area; the E-W extension is 2,261 mi (3,639 km); the maximum N-S extension is 1,420 mi (2,285 km).

15. Interesting that he lost close races
and she lost them big time, for the most part.

There is a lot of dark purple and a lot of light green on these maps.

Pledged delegates


Pop vote

31. True blue states with the entrenched Clinton support?
She has 16 years of the Democratic political machine behind her. The question really should be why Hillary hasn't been able to win by even larger margins than she has?

22. I won't be at the convention.
I didn't apply to be a delegate to attend our state's convention this time, where they will pick the delegation to attend the national convention.

23. But those were REALLY REALLY IMPORTANT primaries
And you're a sexist for even pointing this out.


(Yes, we're at the point where even this requires a :sarcasm: tag)

27. So, what you're really saying is, Obama won the state of Texas.
I just want to make that clear because MSNBC is still saying that Hillary won both Ohio and Texas, and she didn't.
