Let's ask some questions first:

1. Do you believe the media is biased towards the democrats? If you say yes, keep going. If you say no, you are too much of an idiot to try to reason with. Go play with blocks. How are you even reading this?

2. Do you believe that if Trump does not win the nomination, the media will turn on the republican nominee the second Trump is out of the picture? If you say yes, keep going. If you say no, you are too much of an idiot even to reason with.

3. Do you believe Senator Sanders will bow to the wishes of the party and make nice with Clinton if he loses the nomination? If you say yes, keep going. If you say no, you are too much of an idiot even to reason with.

When Clinton closes the nomination, she will have a honeymoon. Obama is behind her. She will not be indicted and the media will suddenly turn on the "first woman president" cascade. She will have her time in the sun. She and Sanders will tour and speak together. She will be seen with many a Hollywood star, and many an African American influencer. Senator Sanders is not an idiot. Neither is Clinton. She will pivot to the middle but continue to reverently bring up the aged Senator Sanders and the importance of His Issues. No mention will be made of his socialism.

In contrast the republicans will get to the end of a truly amazing mudslinging cage match and enter an even bigger pile of shit, their convention. They will have insulted, sued, libeled and defamed each other. No one will get the 1237. The convention will be filled with rancor, disruption, and chaos. There will be hidden back room deals and open threats. A victor will emerge, but he will have made mortal enemies of at least a 3rd of the base.

In delegate math the democrats have a serious advantage. Maybe Trump, with his genius for disruption, could break this, and I only say that because he has outwitted everyone so far. I doubt it though.

Polls change. Sanders voters, those mutable little folks brought up on sugar cereal commercials, will do what the pretty box tells them to do. High flying Hillary Clinton, First Woman President, against the Ultimate Evil Trump or a forgettable evil clone.

Sanders voters will turn out for her.
