(14,255 posts)damaging to Hillary. He was supposed to be just a useful accessory - run for a month or two, and then bow obsequiously out of the primary, gifting Hillary with his supporters and his grassroots organization. Thus the pissiness.

Bernie has not said anything close to what they said about each other during their primary.

(309 posts)Bernie's not damaging Hillary; she's damaged herself. She is her own worst enemy, or rather, her lack of core principles, and the triangulations she makes to stay on the "popular side" of issues are what damage her.
Not his pointing out where they differ on policy...and in practice.

(309 posts)And the meme travels far and wide, if not corrected: was disturbed to see commenters at THE GUARDIAN news site railing against the "Sander's chair-throwers." Truth be damned, if it serves the narrative, eh?

(8,254 posts)I guess its too much of me to expect people who can't count to read. Shame on me
she has gotten more votes among the inside the bubble Democrats. Republicans and independents vote, and she does horribly with those groups. If you look at early primaries, she won a lot of votes because people thought she was more "electable", which was nonsense then just as it is now. She is now tied with the most disliked nominee in polling history in Trump, has horrible net favorables (historically bad), is not trusted, may be indicted by the FBI and Sanders polls much better than her versus Trump. So, great decision by the inside the bubble crowd. The panic is starting to set in now that the reality we've been trying to get you all to acknowledge for months now (maybe if you had confronted this earlier you wouldn't have chosen such a bad candidate) is now sinking in.
All Clinton needs to do is quit running as a moderate Reep
and corporatist in Dem clothing.

(309 posts)..."Hill is over the hill?" cause she's only a few years younger than Senator Sanders?
No, I would never be ageist. She stands or falls based on her character and/or her principles....age has nothing to do with it.

look for a "home" for him? How many non-senile people do you know you need to live in a "home"?
What "truth" about Bernie's mental competence do you have? By all means, quick, share this breaking news, known only to you, with the MSM.

your ageist attitudes. Haven't seen a Democrat do that. Ever.
Equating a genuine political fight during primary season with senility is called entitlement.
The presumptive attitude of the HRCers for those of us who will not just line up behind a coronation, exudes from every pore.
We can disagree, and you can disapprove of Bernie and all of us--but the fact remains--you have been ageist. And it's no better than being sexist.
I'm done. Not interested in talking to an "ist" of any kind.

(651 posts)denying the GE reality now facing him/her. Now tied nationally and in key swing states with the most unpopular major party nominee in polling history. Bravo, great choice! Brilliant strategy too, when the likely nominee is polling so horribly (she herself would be the most unpopular major party nominee in polling history if it wasn't for Trump) to blatantly lie on national TV about his supporters in the last week or so. You all might as well be Jill Stein supporters.

(3,282 posts)That if Bernie stepped aside in this race that the media would pivot away from what they currently find an interesting race and towards the sensationalistic caricature that Trump presents on the other side of the aisle. You'll be seeing wall-to-wall Trump coverage again, because when the Democratic race gets boring, he'll be the interesting thing to put on the airwaves.
