WASHINGTON -- She’s not rid of him yet. Hillary Clinton became the Democratic Party’s presumptive nominee for president as she swept states across the South and Southwest including Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia in a Super Tuesday show of force. But she still has to face Bernie Sanders. The independent senator from Vermont plans to stay in the race despite huge losses, especially in Southern states with large minority populations, and a virtual inability to catch up to Clinton’s lead in delegates. He has the money and support to stay in the campaign, if only to keep hammering his message. “I congratulate Sen. Sanders for his strong showing and campaigning,” Clinton told supporters in Florida, looking ahead to a coming primary state. “Now this campaign moves on to the Crescent City, the Motor City, and beyond.” Read more here: www.newsobserver.com/news/politics-government/article63478917.html

A big question is why Hillary got the minority support when Sanders has more history and cred in civil rights? Are voters unaware that Sanders was an activist getting arrested for demonstrating when Hillary was a spoiled Ivy Leaguer? Or was it a calculated decision to back the likely winner?
Then there are the holes in the Clinton resume. I was a local Clinton delegate in 2008 and am far less happy to vote for her now than back then, before her decisions at the State Dept trashed Libya and Syria and contributed to the growth of ISIS. I rate her judgment as a 2 on a 5 point scale.
Anyway, I am cool with Bernie drawing it out to the convention, and get P.O.ed when some say Bernie should go recede into the woodwork.
Guess I will vote For Hillary in November because I kind suspect it might be Cruz heading the GOP ticket and even if it's Trump I don't want to see him win.
