Glad to see a Hillary supporter having the appropriate and rational reaction to yesterday's results.

For what it's worth, you shouldn't feel TOO bad. Hillary is still most likely going to win.

If you think she's still most likely to win, then how is feeling defeated rational? Huh

You had an awful night and severely underperformed expectations. Your candidate has 100% establishment support and started off with a 50 point lead in the poll, but ended up losing a State by 20 points to a virtual unknown. That's bad, and a rational person should acknowledge it.

Who ever said it wasn't a bad night for her? The point is that one bad night doesn't change the overall fundamentals of the race. Certainly not enough to be wailing in despair about how she's doomed.

Everyone knew Sanders would win big in NH. Everyone knows he can't win in SC and on Super Tuesday. Now if he does end up winning in NV AND in SC AND dominates on Super Tuesday... yes, I will feel defeated. But only then. It's anything but rational to freak out over the results in a lily white liberal state Sanders was guaranteed to win a long time ago.
