Hillary Clinton will lose the Democratic nomination to Bernie Sanders setting up a huge fight to "steal it by getting the super delegates" at the party's national convention next July in Philadelphia, political strategist Dick Morris predicted to Newsmax TV on Wednesday.
"Hillary is losing to Sanders," Morris told "Newsmax Prime" host Joe Pags. "There is one post-debate poll that shows the margin collapsing from 20 points to 15.
"In Iowa, it shows the margin collapsing from 18 to 5, 50 to 54," he added. "She's already at about eight or 10 behind in New Hampshire."
He predicted the floor fight next year during the Democratic National Convention because Sanders could win those two states â and then take those primaries in states that do not have large African-American voters, who are most likely to support Clinton.
"What may happen here is that if Sanders wins the first two primaries and then does well in the white primary states â not South Carolina, but the largely white ones â Sanders could beat her in all of those primaries," Morris said. "You could have a situation where she tries to win the nomination, steal it by getting the super delegates â all of whom believe that Sanders would be a disaster for the party."

Don’t be so sure of that. If Hillary Clinton is the Democratic nominee, her strongest base of support will likely come from moderate Republicans.
“I expect the black vote to be way down this election cycle.”
I don’t know about black women, but black men will not vote for a woman to be President. No matter what they say before they go in the booth.
The same goes for Latino men. They make their wives cut up their steak at the restaurant.
We know zero democrats that want Hillary. Most if them dispise her and resent that she’s bring forced dune their throats
I am not entirely sure that after 16 years those FBI files would be of much use to Godzillary.
The only person Hitlery will loose the nomination to is Mooch, assuming the Constitution has any meaning left.
‘Tricky Dicky Morris predicted that Mittens Romney would beat Obama handily just 4 years ago.’
Michael Barone believed Romney would win, though it would be close. Has anyone even ceded the possibility that election fraud shifted Ohio from GOP to Dem?
Any democrat starts out with NY and CA - about 1/3 of the EV needed to win. Whoever gets their nomination has an excellent chance at winning and we’d be dumb to think otherwise.
WHOA! I was comparing Bernie to Hillary... NOT to any Republican...
Hillary would give us ALL the leftist crap you speak of - AND she would be corrupt. Sanders would just give us the leftist crap...
Trump’s my first choice, Cruz second followed by Carson. I’m not establishment. Oh - and sight unseen I would vote for YOU before I would vote for Hillary - think about that one.
I looked up the Dem super delegate history from ‘08. Hillary was way ahead in pledged of super delegate super, but the Obama started gaining momentum. Iirc, right after Obama played the race card on BC was when a trickle of defections really picked up steam.
Iow, even after a super delegate pledges support, he/she can change their mind. Hillary has been betrayed by super delegates once already. History could repeat.
The only way that will happen is if she is indicted.
Which isnât going to happen.
I think Bernie will win Colorado. I see almost zero interest for Hillary. There are two big democrat groups in the state, blue collar and latinos centered on Pueblo (Hillary), and the lilly white Boulder/Aspen axis (Bernie). Blue collar dems are in decline, while lilly whites and millenial wanna-be lilly whites are surging.
Group amnesia has already set in on Servergate which would have destroyed ANYONE else in the USA running for any office.
Is Dick Morris ever right?
Re Servergate and collective amnesia:
The Clintons have pulled so many unethical stunts over the years that it’s hard to keep track. Similarly, Obama has done so many illegal, near-illegal, and downright treasonous acts during his administration that it’s hard to keep a list.
“Ah, I’d love to see a Trump vs. Sanders presidential campaign....the first communist, socialist/populist candidate in American history pitted against the ultimate embodiment of U.S. capitalism, free enterprise, entrepeneurism and “don’t tread on me-ism”.”
Trump uses gubmint to have his ways and has openly admitted to have bought politicians. He is farthest from the “ultimate embodiment of U.S. capitalism, free enterprise”. He, however, is a populist opportunist who has his sight on power. He is tired of playing a powerful guy on reality TV and buying middle men to do his bidding... now, he wants to be in charge.
If Dick predicted it, then the nomination is Hillary’s.
A crypto-communist and doddering old fool is a better candidate?
The man has got to be the worst prognosticator on the pundit circuit. Krauthammer isn't much better. When they are wrong that often, it stinks of bias-driven propaganda.
