I don't know what the exact demographics of the party are, but there is no way Obama could be leading Hillary right now in every measurable count without a healthy percentage of the white, working-class vote.

Especially in states like Utah, Colorado, Idaho, Iowa, Vermont, Alaska, Wisconsin, North Dakota, Wyoming, Kansas, etc.

3. Well, he is not leading in the
white bigot vote and that is all that matters right now. We should be kissing the feet of these folks; at least that is what the MSM, Hillary and her supporters keep telling us.

5. Common sense is sorely lacking among SOME of Hillary's ardent supporters.

Oh, you forgot. Those states don't count because Obama won them.

7. FUCK the rich and upper middle class! ---> They now OWN Washington D.C.
It's time for "the people" to take back control through REAL representation.
