Hillary Clinton Dominates Super Tuesday Primary Day For The Democratic Party.

Clinton's seven wins on super Tuesday increased her delegate lead over Senator Sanders and puts her campaign on solid footing going into the Florida and Ohio primary.  Her winning percentage margins were true to the election polls on the eve of voting.  Clinton was able to get her vote out where her strength lies.

The vote for Clinton on super Tuesday over came the negative comments made by Andrea Mitchell of MSNBC the day after Sanders won New Hampshire when Mitchell reported Sanders won over 50% of the women's vote and used that as a precedent for what would happen to Hillary in the up coming primaries.  Well Hillary prevailed on super Tuesday despite Andrea's comments.

But Andrea was not the only negative voice concerning the women's vote.  Gail Collins and Kathleen Parker, journalists for the New York Times and the Washington Post in a Times Picayune article dated 2/14 basically said the same thing about Hillary and the women's vote and were wrong just like Mitchell.  Both Collins and Parker talk about a generational gap between older and younger women like Hillary is out of style and her own worse enemy.  Its a case where journalists have too much time on their hands, too little original thought and too little political understanding when it comes to the voters.

Mitchell, Collins and Parker are chapped because from the very beginning Hillary took her campaign directly before the people in person and through the social media and not the cable news networks and the major news media.  The media found some new, Donald Trump and proceeded to give him more free time than any other Presidential candidate even though he is the wealthiest of them all.

Clinton will do well the rest of the primary season because she is a serious public servant who does have political understanding on the issues, cares for people, has policy plans and is the most experienced of all the candidates.  She also knows arithmetic.  And when the primary season is over and the votes are counted, Hillary will have the women's vote.
