[@Gunman610]

+Ayub Mohamud As of 4/9/16, out of 2,324 pledged delegates, Hillary has only 250 more than Bernie. The only reason is looks like she's blowing him out of the water is because of superdelegates, who tend to vote how the DNC tells them to (469 for Hillary, 31 for Bernie). With 1,941 delegates left, this race is hardly over. And if she DOES win, she's going to have to give the millennial voters who will turn the general election a reason to vote for her, rather than stay home.

[@kunaljanvalkar2850]

Hillary is crooked in her practices, but she is not republican, also not democrat. She is a Karen who really hate people, especially middle class and poor. Also she can be seen patronising common men and women of US who made her their Messiah. She really don't have any philosophy but tries to pretend. Trump on other hand don't hate people but he thinks they are stupid and capable of being herded like sheep which ultimately was proven correct. Trump don't even try to pretend that he has any thought or philosophy. That makes him look like more honest.

[@Markdfadf]

And by sane country, you mean like Nicaragua? Or some other failed state? Here is the reality. Both are on the on the political left by European standards. Hilary is not right wing anywhere that isn't a mess. Bernie Sanders would be a nut job in every thriving country. Sweden and Denmark are NEVER electing Bernie Sanders or someone with his views. He is an economically illiterate buffoon here. He would be the considered the same economically illiterate buffoon there.

@@FarhanAmin1994 Failing to predict the future isn't naivete, no. Saying with absolute 100% confidence that you have successfully predicted the future and proceeding to mock everyone else is fairly naive, though. In fact, given your implication that predicting the future is impossible, it would lend credence to the very notion that confidently claiming to do so is _by very definition_ naive.

Wade J You're not one of those that have never finished a big math problem are you? Not that you put a position up on your comment, just an obtuse proof of your lack of position so.....Try looking at the big numbers and the economic models that we are running now. Understanding that lower education(which is demonstrably proven to happen to ppl that have no jobs or food) will increase the government size and cost us more over a 10 year period. You do realize the FBI came about during the depression because crime went off the scale. The less desperate the bottom 10% are the less police and federal police we'll need. Look at all of the data on education outcomes of schools with high unemployed parents and then the well off areas. It's not magic Wade, it's proven by statistics since the early 1900's. Prior to 1980's most companies were true corporations, but the models have changed to LLC and LLP or what is called "pass through" and pay no taxes. So as the number of corporate taxes drop, who picks up this burden? I would assume the owners, but not in this country because of a complicated tax code allowing exactly that group of ppl to avoid such burdens with schedule A write offs. So now 30 years later and the tax pool drys up we start 2 invasions of islamic countries, allow the banks to be propped up by tax dollars and allow those same banks the ability to continue their style amoral behavior.....What is your plan Wade J? Do you have a plan. Or do you think cutting out the middle man, (the lobby) and allowing the 1% to just run the country from the oval office is a better choice? Those poor lobby folk are gonna lose their job.

Personally, I prefer a competent autocrat who can effectively represent American interests abroad. Compared to an idealist giving the same speech seven days a week, I think Clinton's government experience speaks for itself. Oh, what's that? She changes her position on the campaign trail? She oversaw some shady business? Too flipping bad. International politics is no place for "integrity." And any president we choose will do those things anyway. Might as well choose the one who's been doing it for over a decade.

[@DarthAlphaTheGreat]

+andrew tapia I am Canadian, and I think (while Trudeau is ... too eager to prove himself) our social welfare system is awesome that I want the US to have it too.

[@DarthAlphaTheGreat]

+andrew tapia So for me, I like most, only most of his policies. Particularly the ones about money in politics, social welfare and war. I would also like regulation on Wall Street and large banks, however they way he want to approach it seems dangerous. The key is to remove influence of corruption in politics, but it might be too fast (for the US anyway) to reverse the influence and actually break up the system completely. In the long run maybe, long as in a few decades though when the technology have advanced and resources is less of a concern, not in 4 years Also I disagree with his approach to the regressive left, which is ignore and appease---but I understand where he is coming from.| For similar reasons, I think Trump is actually better than Cruz, even though he is most likely only saying those things to get votes while Sanders have a record of supporting the things I support. If I have to pick one of the Republican front runners I will choose, bleh bleh bleh, Trump. Simply because Trump is unpredictable makes him having a slightly higher chance of doing something right, while Cruz will just drag the US straight into fascist hell (hyperbole intended). :P

Daniel Horton I'm considering voting for Bernie too, but what made me decide this was "Can he beat the GOP nominee in the General Election?" and I think most polls said yes.

I love how he fearlessly struck a nerve with this monologue. Hey, I'm voting for Bernie Sanders too, but he still said a boatload of truths that are nothing short of refreshing to hear. #FeeltheBern

[@jameswray50]

I never took Bill as a Shillary supporter. Shame.

[@BigYellowJoint1]

He wasn't but HBO is owned by time warner a massive donor of Lizardy Clinton

[@mcmikk]

this was exactly 1 year ago, and holy shit the times have changed

[@PoundTown595]

Lol. Great advice!!

[@RugbyLeagueisbest]

That was belly laugh out loud funny. I wonder if the right wing understood it? REALLY understood it? From a british viewpoint it was spot on.

[@KCKatheist]

+RugbyLeagueisbest These rethugs are as dense as the Malcontent Tories of the mid 1700's, my friend. They will "hear" that only which is pleasing to their ears and nothing more.

[@hollowman6274]

Vote for Bernie!!! Sanders2016.

[@AMpufnstuf]

The difference between Christopher Hitchens supporting one war that his fans disagreed on and Bill Maher becoming a paid spokesperson of the Clinton empire is this: Hitchens still had fans after his stance, and he could somewhat explain it.

This really is the season finale of American Elections

[@davidharford3873]

If the super delegates joined with Bernie he would be leading.

[@thatunnamedredshirt]

Hillary still had a large margin of votes in the primary?

[@kaoko111]

"Do You really want to deffend all Trump says and tweets in the middle of the night?" Are You kidding Bill? The GOP lost his gag reflect so hard that the sons of Ted Cruz doesn't puke anymore when they hug him.

[@sheraz1001]

That aged like fine milk.

[@AngriestAmerican]

Got news for ya,,,,who ever wins,,we all lose.

[@zenphoenix42]

+Robert De Unless it's Bernie, of course.

[@SerperiorCraft]

This was actually a really good segment but I cringed every time he pretended Bernie doesn't exist. This is supposed to be a "real liberal"? Laughing off the corporatism and corruption that shrouds the Clintons? I mean, I'd understand if there wasn't someone to the left of her running right now, but what the fuck Bill?

[@huwguyver4208]

For sure. Bill Maher is smart and funny as f*ck, but I was surprised Sanders didn't even rate a passing mention.

[@wiet111]

Bill endorsed sanders...

[@konstantint1588]

"let hillary have the next four years"... How could not even mention Bernie Sanders? Hillary hasn't won yet, and there is no guarantee that she will. #feelthebern

[@cftvdata]

Well, he didn't invade Poland, but does Portland count?

[@lineoarlow5120]

This segment is brilliant, first time I've really laughed at his stuff. Like to see that he's not taking himself so fucking seriously right now and isn't so close-minded

[@6946375]

I'm a Republican I fucking hate Hillary Clinton but I would rather vote for Bernie Sanders he is the lesser of two evils

[@DK-td2sh]

+victor case Yeah at least Bernie seems like a decent human being even if his policies are insane.

[@Kingzombie35]

Bill, Bernie has won the last 7/8 races in a row. He's leading in several of the upcoming states and some polls show him closing the gap in New York and California. (There are also some polls show him leading nationally) It's not Hillary for sure yet. So to see you not even acknowledge Bernie's still obvious presence in this still fairly competitive race and act like she has this whole thing wrapped up in this segment is kinda disturbing.

[@Kingzombie35]

To any imbecile that wants to argue with me, please note that I'm not interested. I'm not saying Bernie will win this thing. It sadly likely won't happen. But none of us really know that for sure, I just simply laid out facts that show this race is not over yet. And Bill should know that.

[@PostSurgeOperative]

+Kingzombie35 Unfortunately for Bernie, to win the nomination by securing delegates, he would have to win every remaining state by a huge margin. He's polling below Hillary in many of the remaining states. It's unrealistic to the point of delusional to believe Bernie could win every single remaining state by the margins necessary to secure the nomination according to convention rules. At this point, the only path Bernie might have to winning the nomination entails a federal indictment of Hillary Clinton, and that probably won't happen. And even if she does get indicted, she might win the nomination anyway.

[@damionjackson1743]

+Kingzombie35 I agree

[@thebatman1148]

+Kingzombie35 It's over he needs 58% of the remaining delegates he looks like he is not even going to get a majority of the remaining delegates. There are also the super delegates which can change votes, but would have by now but haven't.

[@Kingzombie35]

+PostSurgeOperative You must've missed my *disclaimer* I left at the bottom of my comment. I'm not interested in arguing. But, I'll bite just this once. He has won by big margin in the last 7 out of 8 races. Go look at the results of those races if you don't believe me. I never said she wasn't still leading in upcoming states. But he is leading in SOME of them. They exist. As I said before, It's still more than likely he won't get it. But this race is still going and we're not 100% certain what will happen. One thing is for sure, he's gotten farther than your shitty candidate Rand Paul has ever gotten! ;) So, please. Fuck. Off.

[@KevinSnydermoonlighttide]

I like the idea of Hulk Hogan on the nickel

[@BauthorFowler]

I'm betting the GOP wished they listened to Bill now.
