It Looks like Hillary is Losing Her Nevada Bet

Nevada's Democrat Caucus is scheduled for this coming Saturday, ahead of the South Carolina primary. Because of the state's diversity -- 15 percent black and more than 25 percent Hispanic -- Nevada was, as Team Clinton told Buzzfeed.com, supposed to be a firewall, one that would put Hillary Clinton back on the road to the nomination. With such a high minority vote, Nevada was seen as providing her a decisive win -- one with a high enough margin to wash away the bad taste that New Hampshire's drubbing left.

As recently as December, a prominent poll had her nearly 25 points ahead of Bernie Sanders, as she was quick to tell everyone who would listen.

That was then. Today, the story is so radically different that, to quote prominent local political analyst Jon Ralston,

"Team Clinton is now repeating the ridiculous and false mantra that Nevada is not so different than Iowa and New Hampshire, two of the whitest states in the union.

Yeah, the wacko libs were out in small numbers for hildebeast. One thing for sure, her team is spending a lot of money on air time here in Reno. Lucky for me the wind was right yesterday and the stench didn't make it to my house which is about 3 miles as the crow flies from TMCC.

Just as the gibsmedat crowd will not choose a RINO/democRAT-lite over a true democRAT, they will take the real socialist over the Hildebeast. Bernie is the ultimate santa claus vote.

With all the super delegates on the Dem side pre-pledged to Hillary, if she loses she still wins. Of course the problem will be the optics of that... and of course an infuriated Dem base waking up to the realization their vote is meaningless to the Uniparty.

The longer Bernie continues to do well, the more Hillary will be forced to spend money in the primaries that she planned to save for the general election. Also, it forces Hillary to go out and speak at public events more than she would have liked. The more she speaks, the more the public sees her as the flawed candidate that she is. Yesterday at a rally, she was literally barking like a dog (she was imitating a radio commercial she claims she once heard.) I imagine her handlers were cringing on the sidelines when they heard that.

And after her ‘barking dog’ moment, the ads should write themselves.

Here’s a link with a video of the barking. Guess it won’t be a “YEEEE-HAWWWW” moment.

Well said! The Chinese/North Korean communist parties operates the same way.

Regarding the super delegates. They watch the weather vanes and the direction of the wind. I believe that since they are pretty much all politicos, they can be bought.

The day will come when the breeze on their face accompanied by solid money from Bernie will be a big problem for Hillary

I’ll bet Rush Limbaugh’s program begins with at least a 30 second loop of that her dog barking. Heck, he’ll use it as a punctuation mark during the day....lol!!!

Should have kept her on a shorter leash (with a muzzle). BTW, if Hillary barks like a dog, does that mean her Muslim girlfriend gets offended and cuts her off?

Hitlery is on ice with every one but older women.

Her problem is she can’t win the nomination, let alone the general election with just the Geritol crowd.

Its panic time in the Clinton Machine.

Somebody said something about the “super delegates” already being in the bag for her. Not sure what that entails. Maybe some contributions to “someones’s” favorite “charity”?

Maybe her handlers thought it was a good idea to add some humor. Her likability is almost non-existent. It would be great if someone at one of her venues was able to introduce “barks” at appropriate times.

Yup... her problem is while she has bought the loyalty of Democratic superdelegates, she has not been able to win the affection of the party base.

A rigged victory would likely lead to her defeat in November.

Right now, Hillary is facing a poisoned chalice and the fallout won’t be pretty.

This will be a repeat of the 2008 loss to Obama in the Nevada Caucus. The far left is very strong with specific unions in the Vegas area. They can make the votes show up.

What’s that, girl? Hillary’s campaign fell down the well?

Yup. Hillary should seriously consider dropping out.

No one wants her.

As far as any one can see, she is struggling to eke out a convincing win.

The Left quite simply has abandoned her.

Right Now Hillary is facing a poisoned chalice.

I hope she has to drink it all including the dregs.
