Delusional, thou name is Bernie Supporter. Each primary/caucus day Hillary has taken more delegates than Bernie has. That's simply a fact. Don't have to be a Hillary supporter to see that fact. He's slipping further and further behind. It's not states, it's delegates you have to watch. And then there are all those superdelegates she keeps as long as on each primary day she comes out ahead of Sanders--which, so far, she has. Try to use your brains.

Yes, she could be indicted and have to drop out. That's a real possibility, I think. But that won't make Sanders presidential--or a bit younger or anything but a too-far-left for the nation socialist and a Jew, neither of which are going to fly. You Bernie people are pie in the sky delusional. Not that I'll cut my wrists if he somehow wins.

Not to mention there are some primary elections coming up in some very large states. So far, TX is the only one of the biggest states that has held an election or a caucus.

It's also highly right wing too....

Sanders has WA/OR and NorCal...question is LA/central valley enough to sway things in favor of Clinton.

And NY....ohh sanders might not get those delegates.

And San Diego. We become increasingly conservative the closer you get to the border. At least on immigration.

Daygo might as well be an LA suburb


I do miss the import car culture there though....I only lived in daygo for like 15 months but it was fun.

Hawaii Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard: ‘I’m resigning from the DNC so that I can support Bernie Sanders’

That must piss off DWS!

That did make Sanders somewhat more credible in my eyes. The problem here is that Tulsi Gabbard stands out because she's not afraid to criticize Obama. Bernie, on the other hand, is terrified. He has got to know that Obama is a war criminal, yet he shines the guy's shoes. This disturbs me.

 

[Sean Renaud]

The thing is while Obama is a war criminal any American president is going to be and every American in government not only approves many of them want him to go farther. So none of them are going to call him on it anymore than I'm gonna call you on illegally downloading movies. Scale aside it's the same deal for those people.

You can't criticize Obama, not even a little bit as he was the designated anti-Hillary. Now that his time has passed, he has to be treated as a icon of the glory of the party.

Hillz is now the anointed one, by the DNC Establishment. She, like Obama before her, will do as she's told by the Dark Lords, while Bernie is a free thinker and declares the game is rigged.

Is Bernie a radical? Not in my opinion. He's a old style Democrat, perhaps sharing the Henry A. Wallace tradition of recognizing the truth in the midst of the bullshit spewed to confuse and entertain the masses.

Bernie has been cautious in criticizing Obama because he knows that doing so would be pointless, until he is in the White House and can indite the Neo-Con's and Obama for the war crimes and other offenses against the rule of law of which they are guilty. But he needs a strong and courageous Sec. of Justice to press the cases.

We shall see if Bernie can, not only win the nomination but carry a progressive slate of Congress critters in to support his platform. If he doesn't break the Rethuglican hold on the Congress he stands as much chance of doing anything progressive as a fart in a wind storm.

 

[sr71plt]

As with the problems of some of Bernie's other campaign promises, there actually isn't such a position as Secretary of Justice.

I understand that Chris Christie wants that position so much that he's willing to kneel to Trump, though.

He can end the war on drugs and he's the only one running who I think actually will.

Clinton will likely try to see how many people she can stuff into her prison.

We've actually been practicing a form of socialism for some time, particularly over the past 16 years. It's Robin Hood in reverse -- we have been cannibalizing the useful part of our economy in order to provide handouts for financial speculators. Don't let anyone tell you that the Wall Street bailout was "only $700 billion," i.e. TARP. That was the tip of the iceberg. We have been shoveling astronomical sums of cash into the ravenous maw of a purely parasitic mafia. The amounts of money that Bernie wants to spend on things like free college tuition are trivial by comparison. Hell, Obama spent $6 billion just to overthrow a democratically elected government in Ukraine -- that's a lot of college tuition right there. And of course, the switch to single-payer health care would be a very substantial net savings to the nation, plus we would get actual health care instead of a giant handout to the insurance companies.

Socialism?

You mean like.. public roads, public airports, public schools, an army paid for by the people...... hospitals..... look around, public fire department, public police.. puclic prisons.....

no wait......

all that is being sold off to the 1%......

Can you say Oligarchy....... or Corporatocracy.....

Every damn thing they say is 1984 political double speak

"Trickle down"... more like "Suck up"

Greed...... it's what makes America a little less everyday.

We could use a little bit of socialism to restore balance. It used to be that workers and corporations worked together. They killed that idea really good!

BULLSHIT this is going to be socialism. He's not talking about nationalizing any industry......... ok......... maybe healthcare....

 

[BoyNextDoor]

And Bernie for the win in Minnesota, but it was close. He is not making up ground yet. That puts a lot of pressure on California and its 500+ delegates. Too bad the reddest of the red states love Hillary. WTF is up with that?

Socialism shows up in my front yard every day. I call it municipal garbage collection for my trash and public waterworks for my lawn sprinkler. It's pretty neat.

Bernie Sanders optimistic for more midwest upsets after shock Michigan win

“This is a critically important night,” said Sanders in a statement issued after an earlier campaign rally in Miami, where there was barely any mention of the unfolding cliffhanger 1,300 miles away.

“Not only is Michigan the gateway to the rest of the industrial Midwest, the results there show that we are a national campaign,” he added. “We already have won in the Midwest, New England and the Great Plains.”

In Ohio, Missouri and perhaps Illinois, the hope is that this will come from voters who are warming to his uncompromising opposition to recent free trade deals and a general critique of the “rigged economy” that is seen as more authentic than Clinton’s discussion of inequality.

The importance of these issues to the 2016 electorate was confirmed on Tuesday by the strong performance of Donald Trump in the Republican nomination race, which saw him take Michigan by an 11.6-point margin.

Despite heaviest media attention on his anti-immigrant rhetoric, Trump’s opposition to trade appears to be a major factor for his support among working class voters.

Both Trump and Sanders have heavily criticised the North American Free Trade Agreement (Nafta) struck by Clinton’s husband and the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) brokered by Barack Obama.

Though Clinton now says she is also opposed to TPP, she was a supporter of negotiations during her time as secretary of state and is seen as generally more friendly to big business interests thanks to a history of donations and payments by Wall Street.

Can Bernie beat her in California? If he can, the jig is up, her petard is Hoisted, the political landscape will change!

OH WAIT!! THAT'S DIFFERENT!!


Because conservatives approve of that socialism....employs lots of Republicans!

It's OTHER socialism that they don't like that is bad.

You understand it's not personal if I beat you do death with a sack of dumb puppies right?

 

[sr71plt]

Is California a "winner take all state?" (I don't know). If not, just beating her wouldn't mean much unless it was by the percentage she just whipped him by in Mississippi.

Yea it is

L.A./Valley rednecks (Clinton) vs. S.F./ NorthCoast Hillbillies (Sanders)....who will win?

We will see.

Not that it really matters....Hillary will still take all the delegates, votes don't really matter, the dog and pony show this year is just a little more obvious.

 

[urguyscott]

You know the nomination is fixed. There is no way Sanders cold get the nomination even if he won every state. Old Hilary has it wrapped up with her bribed and corrupt "super delegates". Like the press (who she hates as much as Obama) that she keeps inside a cattle bin, the political bosses have long since been bought and paid for by her charity organization. (By the way she is the only running candidate that has her own slave plantation, it is called Haiti) She is a liar, a thief, has blood on her hands, a traitor to her party and her country. Like Sanders she does not call herself a Democrat, but a so called Progressive. In Sanders case he believes a Progressive is a communists and in Clinton's case she believes a Progressive is a fascists. Both are correct in the present sense of the use of the word. A real slap in the face to such great Progressives like Teddy Roosevelt. They feel that the Constitution and Human Rights, Civil Rights and Women's Rights are things of the past and no longer "keeping up with the times." But every country that has been a so called social state has failed. Greece is a perfect example. Oh they point to other countries, a very few, and say see it works there. But it is a bubble like Greece, Russia, Venezuela, etc. will burst. I have lived in Europe and seen how the system works. If you go to a store there are two ways they handle a customer. If you are a stupid liberal American they will charge you full price and make you pay the heavy tax. If you are one of their own then it is cash and carry. You pay under the table. The only people who live like royalty in a communists imperial state are the royalty. The members of the Party. They live like kings off the backs of the people. Even Little Mad Kim lives like that in the most communists state of all. It's how the system works.

I wonder why college students back Sanders, except for being foolish enough to believe he will really give them "free" education. He will have to take money away from the overpaid teaching staff, make their books free that they get a kick back from and the way overpaid administrators. If they want income to be spread equal then why go to college to try and better yourself for a good paying job? Just let the state decide what you will do for a living and regardless get paid the same as every other slave.

But no matter what Hilary had this wrapped up right after the left sold her out for Obama. It was part of the deal she made with them.

Not only that but have you looked at the shit?

Hillary wins by 1%? She gets like 80% of the delegates.....

Sanders wins by 30%? 1 more delegates than Hillary. When he wins by 10% or less they split delegates LOL

 

[Sean Renaud]

Everything I'm reading says Democrats don't have winner take all primaries at all.

You are right, it's the pubs with the WTA and I misread that.

My mistake.

Yea sanders is fucked, 90% of the vote will only get him 3 delegates so the point is moot...idk why he thinks he can win this, I'm just hoping he stays in long enough to shine a light on what bullshit the DNC is.
