Winning Wisconsin won’t fix Bernie Sanders’ superdelegate problem

Sounds about right.

 

[Boxlicker101]

And the party oligarchy has done nothing for rank-and-file Democrats. Working people have been voting Republican for reasons that SEVERUSMAX partially analyzed in his earlier post. Even though Sanders is a cranky populist sloganeer, he actually seems to be interested in the problems that ordinary people face.

Yeah. He wants to make their problems worse by taxing the bejesus out of working people.

Say whatever myopic bullshit you want, let your confirmation bias rule your intellect and have your public policy spoonfed to you by Breitbart and Trump if you must, but outright lies? Shame on you.

Hillary Clinton: ‘I’ll take Bernie Sanders over Donald Trump or Ted Cruz any time’

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton responded to charges from Bernie Sanders that she was “not qualified” to be president on Thursday by saying that the Vermont senator would be a better president that Donald Trump or Ted Cruz.

Before taking a ride on the subway in New York City, Clinton tried to downplay what has become an increasingly bitter rivalry with her Democratic opponent.

“I’m going to trust the voters of New York who know me,” she told reporters. “And have voted for me three times, twice for Senate, once in the presidential primary.”

“Look, I don’t know why he’s saying that,” Clinton said. “But I will take Bernie Sanders over Donald Trump or Ted Cruz any time. So, let’s keep our eye on what’s really at stake in this election.”

I'd love to credit Hillary with being a class act there and if we're using Trump as a standard she is nothing but. However in a more realistic world she's only being kind because under no realistic scenario can she still lose. Bernie can't just win he needs to CRUSH. We'll see how well Bot calls Cali with him predicting a north south split with Bernie winning his half and Hillary mine.

My prediction (despite agreeing that Norcal and So Cal are two different states) that we'll see no such divide just Hillary edging out.

 

[BoyNextDoor]

This whole Bernie saying that she was “not qualified” is really a massively stupid creation of the media.

He never impugned her credentials, he said if you take money from Wall Street you are "not qualified" to be president. It was some pretty normal rhetoric.

 

[Sean Renaud]

Bernie isn't an idiot. We live in a sound bite age and before you say a damn thing in front of a camera you better make sure nothing you say can be taken out of context.

And yes it is a media creation.

Seth MacFarlane tells Bernie fans to stop bashing Hillary over trivial crap – because they’re helping Trump

Comedian Seth MacFarlane is a Bernie Sanders supporter — but not unconditionally.

MacFarlane, perhaps best known as a voice actor and creator of “Family Guy,” gave an interview on the Jason Rantz Show, according to MyNorthwest. MacFarlane said he believes the Vermont senator’s supporters have been unfair to his rival, Hillary Clinton.

“I actually am one of the people who has been a little disappointed at the way that, not necessarily the campaign, the supporters of the campaign have treated Hillary,” he told Rantz. “I think she’s been treated a little harshly by the left.”

He also talked about celebrities and their responsibility to use their platform to speak out on issues — or to remain silent if they do not have the education to do so.

“The problem is if we don’t pick our battles, then we look unreasonable,” he said. “And I think that’s part of where Trump has come from because we have not been able to separate things that are injustices from things that we’re just offended by. And it’s troubling.”

Yes Bernie Bro's should stick to what is important and ignore her distractions. Slick Willy is still correct, "It's the Economy, stupid."

Bernie fans should be bashing Hillary over the important things, like the war crimes, but they seem to be chicken-hearted about that, because then then would have to bash Obama as well, and they inexplicably feel that that would hurt them with the voters. They are a little slow.

Agreed

It's not that she isn't qualified to RUN for President. She's a U.S. citizen, born here, over 35, etc. It's that she hasn't displayed the vision, the strength of character to avoid greed, and the independence from the billionaire class and the corrupt political system they have created that would qualify her to deserve my vote for President. I'm from Vermont and we know Bernie can't be bought. Can anyone say that about Hillary? I'm sure some will. But the vast majority of Americans do not. She is the only hope for the Republican Party to win in November, and we all know what that would mean.

Hopefully for our country, Bernie's pathway to the nomination, be it ever so narrow, will remain open so we aren't forced to make another choice of the lesser of two evils. We can only imagine how horrible one guy would be. Think how stark the contrast would be between Bernie and Trump. "I don't care about your damn hotels and golf courses. . ."

Because while you're not wrong if we were to use a brush broad enough to qualify Hillary as a war criminal we'd have to utterly dismantle both parties. Which is kinda impossible.

He does not even like sending soup back at the deli.

Hillary say that about Hillary, and she was born in America, SO THERE!

The first pebble falls in the coming landslide!

MADISON, Wis. -

A Democratic super delegate in Wisconsin has decided to endorse Bernie Sanders, who defeated Hillary Clinton in the state's primary earlier this week.

State Rep. David Bowen is the first of the state's 10 super delegates to side with Sanders. Six others are committed to Clinton and three are not saying who they will back. 14

Sanders' 13-point win over Clinton on Tuesday in Wisconsin netted him 10 more delegates than her. But she could have tied him in delegates if all 10 super delegates went her way.

Now with Bowen's decision, Sanders is guaranteed to have at least a two-delegate advantage in Wisconsin.

Bowen says he voted for Sanders in the primary and he wanted to be sure his supporters were represented through his super delegate vote.

New York will be a tight race. Will Hillary's minions come out for her or will they switch?

Sanders campaign releases Spike Lee-produced ad

https://youtu.be/lauspctcEqQ

Couldn't have come at a better time with New York's minorities ~71% for Clinton.

Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders on Saturday dropped a new ad produced by filmmaker Spike Lee.

The 30-second spot features a diverse cast of activists including Harry Belafonte, Erica Garner, Shaun King and Linda Sarsour.

"People of color have a deeply vested interest in what Bernie Sanders brings to us in this election," singer and Civil Rights Movement activist Belafonte says in the ad.

"People like Michael Brown, Sandra Bland and my father Eric Garner," Garner continues.

Garner, whose father died after being put in a chokehold by a police officer, has appeared in ads and on stage with Sanders previously.

"They're not just hashtags and trending topics. But these are mothers and fathers, sons and daughters," says King, a writer and Black Lives Matter activist.

California or bust: Bernie Sanders charts a White House path

Defying opinion polls and expert predictions, Democratic hopeful Bernie Sanders aims to seize the party’s White House nomination from Hillary Clinton’s grasp with a last-ditch come-from-behind triumph in California.

By far the most populous U.S. state, California is the largest prize of the state-by-state nominating contests, and the vote on June 7 is one of the last before Democrats convene in July to select a nominee for the Nov. 8 presidential election.

An aggressive schedule of large rallies is planned along with heavy purchases of TV, radio and online advertising in three languages and a “far, far more expensive” campaign effort than in any other state, Sanders campaign sources disclosed.

Bernie needs California to come over to the Light and show the leadership California is know for. He'll need to do so despite the Limousine Liberals who will be supporting Hillary, Like Boxer, Pelosie, and Finestine.

LOL!!!!

Sanders could take 90% of California....he will get at most the same delegates as Clinton.

She's bought the election, it's over.

The only thing we can do is hope Sanders stick it out long enough to shine a light on that fuckin roach.

 

[Sean Renaud]

Can you point to these states where Bernie got screwed on pledged delegates?

 

[BotanyBoy]

It's not the pledged delegates that are fucking him or owned by Clinton.


Sanders can't get the 70% landslide win needed to outvote Goldman Sachs.

"You should get out and vote!" lol.....fuckin why?

American democracy...LMFAO! what a load of shit.

I keep wondering why folks think Clinton bought the Democratic nomination from under Bernie Sanders when she's been a stalwart worker inside the party for decades and did her homework, research, preparation, and dues paying for the nomination (not to mention the one before that as well--falling right into line when she didn't get that nomination) and Bernie Sanders just showed up, not even a Democratic Party member, at the beginning of the campaign process and decided he wanted to be the Democrats' standard barrier without three minutes of party support work.

I'm not going to wring my hands if he gets the nomination. I'm not even going to cry if she gets taken down on the e-mail business and has to drop out and default the nomination to him. But don't try to tell me that she's stealing anything from him. If it happens, he's the one who did the stealing.

The woman has literally dedicated her every move for the last 16 years if not longer to the singular goal of being the President.

Similarly if things continue at the present pace she would be winning on pledged delegates ANYWAY. The fact that the party she's been loyal to for decades is showing loyalty back is ultimately beside the point.

I can't speak for anyone else, but I don't think she is buying the election. I think that she has always been maniacally ambitious, but at one time she was semi-idealistic as well. In 2008, she learned the hard way that the gangsters that have run the DNC for the past decades don't give a damn about who the voters like. There were rumors that there were some serious threats made, if she were to make a fuss about the nomination being handed to Obama. She was offered an opportunity to kiss the ring on the hand that had just stabbed her in the back, and she accepted with unseemly haste. She chose to degrade herself, become a sleazy ho (AKA "stalwart worker"), and pledge to continue the vicious neo-con policies of her two predecessors. Then the money spigots opened up, along with the favoritism in the press.

I think the whole idea of "party loyalty" is a charade at this point. The same combination of monied interests runs both parties, and they stage the epic "wedge issue" brawls over gun control and abortion for the same reason that we have the World Wrestling Federation.

Because there are some of us out there that think the hundreds of millions of dollars being poured into pumping her up has more to do with the election than all that dues paying bullshit you hold so high and are totally obsessed with. Especially seeing as that's literally the only thing she has going and besides it seems Obama didn't have to pay any dues or really do fuckin' shit except spend record amounts of money.

Money talks....seniority and paying dues is a bullshit fallback for backing a total fucking slime ball candidate.

Stealing has yet to be determined.

All that CNN/FOX chanting about her inevitability might win out.

Sanders could still continue to crush Clinton in NY/CA like he has in other liburhul states and I bet as long as there is a way for the DNC to say 'fuck that Clinton is the Chosen one!' partisan shit they will do that because they don't give a fuck about democracy or the people. They want that Wall St. funding!

Similarly if things continue at the present pace she would be winning on pledged delegates ANYWAY.

Of course she would....even when Sanders wins he still can't win.

He would literally have to have 70+% of the vote to win..and even then I bet they would just say "Fuck you all, you'll get Clinton and you'll like it." and I'd bet most democrats wouldn't be the least bit upset about it.

Spineless mother fuckers wonder why the 1% keeps fucking them and they bitch about it but when it comes time to vote the scum out the fucking morons do everything they can to keep them.

US politics are god damn corrupt as it gets and the American voter is too stupid to vote in their own best interest, we deserve all the shit they shovel onto them. I'm just glad I got my shit handled cuz that allows me to say fuck y'all and laugh at those who get shit on.

Shit I should be a republican.....at least then I'd get the satisfaction of watching them send liburhulz to the fuckin' moon.

It's more like 24 years. Even during the 1992 campaign and into Bill's first term, she was implying she would be or was co-president with her husband.

I've been paying a little attention to the Bern man recently and the only reasonable conclusion any rational objective person could make about him is that he is a feeble old man.
