I refuse to be driven out, thank you very much

As Trump Rises, House Republicans Lose That Sense of Security - The New York Times

"To have a chance at recapturing the House, Mr. Wasserman said, 'Democrats need Bernie to voice strong support for Clinton, and to campaign for her actively in the fall to drive out his voters.'"

Elsewhere in this morning’s Times, in another story about the Indiana primary, we find this curious sentence…

“…In the Democratic contest, Senator Bernie Sanders rebounded from a string of defeats to prevail in Indiana over Hillary Clinton, who largely abandoned the state after polls showed her faring poorly with the predominantly white electorate."

Spin much? Nate Silver’s web site gave Clinton a 95% probability of winning, and Real Clear Politics’ amalgam poll had Hillary winning by about five percent, about the same margin Sanders won by in the real world. Predominantly white or not.
