6. Hillary wins in Arizona.

Summary:
On March 23, 2016, the primary election was held in Arizona and
many voters, supporters of Bernie Sanders where left without
their vote being cast. When Hillary Clinton was named the winner,
many people where still in line to vote for Bernie Sanders. The
government of Arizona reduced their numbers of locations to 60
venues for the whole state and about 800,000 supporters of
Bernie went to vote. This is why the process was slow and
tedious, having people wait as much as five hours to cast their
votes. However, after making the line, some couldnt even vote or
had to cast a provisional ballot, which doesnt exactly count as an
actual vote. This was because some of the voters registration
was suspiciously changed to Republican or Independent.

support of his

are left to vote,
could possibly reach
Clintons delegate
count and win the
primary.

Jot Dots:
1. Powerhouse grassroots online campaign.
2. Primary 2.0 began in March 16-June 7.
3. Pacific and Mountain States are pro-Bernie.
4. Superdelegates can change their minds.
5. Active phonebank, 1,000 calls per 5 minutes.
6. Facebank and Bernie Friend Finder.
Summary:
Congressman Alan Grayson posted on Tumblr how the race isnt
over for Bernie Sanders because of Primary 2.0 which is the

remaining states that are not the Old South, which is where
Hillary Clinton is most popular. States like these, with a big
delegate count are: California, New York, and Pennsylvania. These
states mostly support Bernie Sanders in the Democratic race.
Even though Clinton is ahead of Bernie by a lot of delegates, he
still has yet to win the Pacific and Mountain states. The difference
between Clinton and Sanders superdelegates is even bigger, but
Grayson clarifies that these superdelegates arent secure and can
change their minds, especially if Sanders pulls some upsets.

Hillary Clintons
refusal to release
the transcripts of the
paid speeches to
Goldman Sachs,
since it could
severely damage her
campaign.

Jot Dots:
1. Republican operatives want to find damaging material of HC.
2. She agrees if everyone else does the same.
3. Release transcripts of 3 paid speeches.
4. If they are released, her campaign suffers.
5. The information gathered so far is weak.
6. Clinton is too cozy with Wall Street.
Summary:
Republican operatives are dying to get their hand on the
transcripts, notes, or secret recordings of Clintons paid speeches
to Goldman Sachs. Theyve interviewed people from Wall Street
but havent found anything substantial and legitimate. She is
known for her closed-door speeches in exchange for enormous
amounts of money, which create an unethical and untrustworthy
public image. If Clinton wins the primary, Trump will try and attack
her with this type of information. However, if it is released during
primaries, Bernie Sanders will most likely win the nomination.
Though some say these transcripts will never see the light of day,
at least not until Clinton is president.

defeat.
Jot Dots:
1. Raised $4.2 million in total from Wall Street.
2. Wall Street donors have shifted from Republican candidates
to HC.
3. Big money Republicans, who hate Trump, donate to Clinton.
4. They trust Clinton more than Trump.
5. They increase their donations to guarantee Trumps loss.
Summary:
Aside from raising $4.2 million from Wall Street, Hillary Clintons
boost in the financial sector is due to Republicans, who supported
candidates that later dropped out, shifting their financial support
to Clinton for the Democratic race. This is because these
Republicans dont agree with Trump or dont trust him in terms of
business and they know Clinton better. Trump, up until March, has
only received 1% of contributions from Wall Street. Clinton also
inherited money from Wall Street that was supposed to go to Mitt
Romney in the previous election.
