is very aware that Clinton, and not Sanders, has worked to help candidates like Kathleen Matthews get elected.

Tweety has a reality check this year.

He seems torn between Hillary and Sanders and has said as much, but when something bugs him (like this Sanders' claim) he's like a pit bull. (no offense to pit bulls)

retires. as far as a Warren, no one outside of DU knows who she is.

And the BSers will continue sending in their $27.

"It's undemocratic that the GE is held on a Tuesday in November. It disenfranchises everyone who prefers to vote on a Wednesday in January. We're filing a lawsuit, and Susan Sarandon and Mark Ruffolo are going to visit the Pope to enlist his help as a character witness for Bernie. They're close friends, you know!"

Someone like a Bobby Kennedy. I don't see any promising and charismatic individuals like that in Sanders' circle. And it would have to be a genuine Democrat.

Sanders' movement will fade with him.

I feel sorry for young people who invested time, money, energy, and hope in the wrong person. He is not the man they think he is.

unless your name is Castro.

Sanders appeals primarily to anger, fear, frustration, and hate. You can't build a lasting movement on anger and hate. You have to have the power to draw people together. You have to unify and be inclusive. You have to make people feel good about their party, their country, their way of life. You build on strength and not weakness, solidarity and not divisiveness, realistic hope and not pipe dreams. "Free college" is not a vision of the future. A vision of the future embraces everyone -- young and old, all income levels, all belief systems, all genders, all races, all ethnic and religious groups. You don't attack persons. You attack problems.

His appeal is hypnotic, but temporary. People eventually get tired of feeling angry all the time.

His flawed character has deeply hurt and needlessly retarded the progressive movement.

And those that didn't consider him a leader. Just goes to prove that if your willing to be disingenuous enough to promise that you will implement every progressive program known to man, and some socialist programs to boot, there are people clueless enough to follow you.

If I were running I'd promise pot for every chicken.

I can't get the image out of my mind.

I listened to him for years on Thom Hartmann, and I always thought he'd be a good fit for Sunday morning talk shows. But now, deconstructing the past, I realize that he gave pretty much the same answer to every question posed him by Hartmann's listeners (a very sympathetic crowd), and essentially just gave the people what they wanted to hear. I suspect what kept him off the Sunday talk shows was that no one likes him.

but I have to say when he sees something egregious he will speak out. It seems that lately he's getting disgusted with Sanders.

is that a couple of them, like Matthews and Maddow are actually trying to be reporters and sneak it in, here and there, DESPITE what they're being told to do.

Chris Matthews just said that Sanders' ad is a flat out LIE, and that it needs to be pulled!
