...not just Iowa...

It’s March 15, roughly half the delegates have been allocated, and Hillary Clinton now has a commanding 320-ish lead in delegates. Lots of math has been flying around, but in short, Bernie Sanders does not have a realistic path to the nomination.

The primaries go on, and people should turn out and vote for whoever they feel would best lead our nation. No one is cancelling any elections. Your later vote counts as much as someone else’s earlier vote. But a lot of people already voted for Clinton, and that’s the difference here. (As an aside, I look forward to debating the best ways to reform this bullshit primary system, because it’s all sorts of f’d up.)

This day brings me no joy, or sadness. I have one overriding concern right now: We must face the villain of a lifetime on the GOP side, someone who literally incites his followers to violence while gleefully leading them in a Hitler-like salute. It defies parody. Our number one priority is to keep him as far away from the White House as possible. Our number two priority is flipping the Supreme Court. Say what you will about the Clintons, but they gave us Justices Stephen Breyer and Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Another one of those, and the court is ours. Within the next eight years, another conservative vacancy is likely to open up. We can control the court for generations. Say goodbye to Citizens United and partisan gerrymandering and voter suppression (among so many other things).

That’s it! Anything else good a Clinton presidency might give would be gravy. But beating Donald Trump and taking control of the Supreme Court are the two single most important tasks on our agenda today.

I have written about the site’s new rules, effective today, here and here. But to make it super easy for everyone to understand, let me distill them to their very essence:
