The Final Clinton/Sanders Contest: The District of Columbia primary is tomorrow, which will likely result in a decisive landslide for Hillary. Also tomorrow, Sanders will be meeting with Clinton one-on-one to "press her on her policy positions and decide whether he can support her".
"I simply want to get a sense of what kind of platform she will be supporting, whether she will be vigorous in standing up for working families and the middle class, moving aggressively in climate change, healthcare for all, making public colleges and universities tuition-free," Sanders said on NBC's "Meet the Press." "And after we have that kind of discussion and after we can determine whether or not we are going to have a strong and progressive platform, I will be able to make other decisions."Adding:
"Well, I don't think Hillary Clinton can lead a political revolution...but I think if Hillary Clinton is smart —and she certainly is smart — she will understand that good public policy, taking on the big money interests and standing up for working families, standing up for the environment, standing up for clean water, is, in fact, good politics.”
Sigh.
I know Bernie has already lost and we need to unite very soon and all that, but since we have one more day left in this Democratic contest, I just need to say one more thing: The rock star crowds have clearly gone to Bernie's head and he really needs to get over himself with the "revolution" business. Yes, it's great that he got lots of people to come to his rallies and get excited, but he simply couldn't translate that into enough actual votes to win. Conversely, I would argue that it's Hillary who is already leading a victorious political revolution...for women. Also, I'm pretty sure that Hillary "CHIP" Clinton already knows that "good public policy" is "good politics" and doesn't need anyone to explain it to her at this point, but thanks for the last minute condescension!

Clinton Retakes the Lead vs Trump: I'd like to see a few more post-California/Obama endorsement polls not from the likes of Rasmussen and Fox News, but this is looking pretty good so far:
Considering how the last few weeks have generally gone, I'm really wondering if we're about to see Hillary's lead explode in the coming days. In fact, I'm gonna go ahead and predict that the poll averages will have her leading Trump by 8-10 points within a couple of weeks...perhaps even more if Bernie gives an early endorsement. I promise to follow up on this prediction soon and freely admit if I'm wrong!
The First General Election Ad: On a tough day like this, I can just let this one speak for itself.
