It’s the weekend? 
Actually, the most heated arguments seem to be extensions of the tone of the posters. When reasonably engaged, most people have no problem discussing the issue in a calm fashion. Unfortunately, this is the straight dope so it doesn’t happen very often.
This is where the issue gets muddied because it is essentially educated guesses. Some states, like New York and California, can be counted on to vote democrat no matter who the nominee is. Other states, like Texas, Ohio, and Florida, might not be so inclined. Likewise with the small states. Will Hillary’s placing importance on the large states pay off, or will her insistance that smaller states don’t matter as much turn off voters in those states? Can Obama win in the larger states where it’s harder to campaign, or will his victories in smaller states turn into broader support.
It’s a shame the campaign has become so long and contentious (moreso amongst supporters than candidates). It’d be a lot easier if they could go into the convention and say that the person with the most delegates is pres and second place is the vice.
Agreed. It’s a mess.
