Just heard (KERA) Hillary proclaim she needed a convincing win in NY, in part to unify the Democrats for the election.

She won't get it.

Sure it will, just like every other faux Clinton scandal dreamt up by the right since Richard Mellon Scaife.

You should try some Free Speech TV. Tom Harmon and Stephanie Miller seem to coexist well.

I am here a couple of burbs north of Park Ridge, IL since Friday.
And, I seldom repeat what I hear, only original thoughts.

I hope so, but like I mentioned in another thread, I think what will likely doom Sanders in NY is the closed primary.

Hillary Clinton’s campaign finance records show the wealthy Walmart heiress, Alice Walton, donated $353,400 to Clinton’s “Victory Fund.” The six-figure donation contrasts Clinton’s campaign messaging as a workers’ ally. Walmart stands out for its oppressive labor practices and corporate greed behavior. Before that Alice Walton contributed $25,000 to the Ready for Hillary political action committee.

Good. We're going to need every penny to counteract the Koch money bomb ($889 million and counting) that is coming our way in the general election.

Until Citizens's United and McCutcheon vs. FEC are overturned we democrats have to fight on the battlefield that exists, not the one we wish we had. I for one don't want the perfect to be the enemy of the good.

Isn't the Victory Fund the one that funds down ticket candidates? Clinton has raised almost $30,000,000 for that while Sen. Sanders has raised $1000.

A rigged election is a rigged election. Until we have a leader elected by the people, unencumbered by monetary obligation to the rich and powerful, we don't have a free country. We have a puppet regime.

Hillary is the frontrunner and all of a sudden the USA is a banana republic with fake elections. Mr Pots, you, to use an apt expression, have gone to pot.

No, Potter has hit the nail on the head. Our elections have been rigged by our two party Duopoly and the ruling class for quite a while.

This year a couple of "outsiders" have made it a bit farther than they were supposed to, so the rigging has had to become more obvious.

We are allowed to vote in order to maintain the illusion that we have some choice in the matter.
