A month ago Hillary was ahead by 20 points in Texas and Ohio. Now he's ahead in Texas and her lead in Ohio has shrunk to single digits.

In Pennsylvania, where she has the support of the governor and all of the major politicians, her once substantial lead in the polls has dropped to 6 points..and that contest isn't until April 22.

It seems to me that even if Hillary lost Texas and Ohio you don't think she should concede at that point....she should still carry on to Pennsylvania.

Then if she lost Pennsylvania she still shouldn't concede, but should try to get the superdelegates to give her the nomination even though she got her ass kicked in elections all over the country.

But I'm the problem here....it's ME who needs to accept the facts as they are.

You can have all the objections you want to his candidacy, and all the questions you want about his record, but at some point you have to realize that the majority of the people disagree with you and you're going to lose.

Hell I have alot of objections to George W Bush...I had them in 2000 and in 2004.....but that didn't stop him from becoming President and that's just something I have to live with.
If she loses both Ohio and Texas she is done. No doubt about it. Some polls show him ahead in Tx and some show her ahead. Remember polls in NH had him ahead by a lot and he lost. Polls had him ahead in Cali and he lost by a big margin.

And he has won 11 in a row since Super Tuesday. No dispute there.

If she wins 3 of the 4 states on Tuesday everything changes and the landscape flips on its ass again.

If she won Texas and Ohio on Tuesday she would have pretty much swept the biggest states in the nation and the most important blue states plus Florida. I won't give her MI since he removed himself from the ballot. If she did win those 2 states plus all the major states in the nation should he quit? What about if she then went on to get Pennsylvania? Would he quit then?

If I were him even if she did all that I would quit. Unless she gets 2025 I would fight.
