Bernie Sanders vows to forge ahead, despite formidable odds ..

http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2016/04/20/bernie-sanders-vows-forge-ahead-despite-formidable-odds/83274302/


Omg he still will go on....stay home Bernie retire.......you cant win...its called MATH


WASHINGTON — Sen. Bernie Sanders' decisive defeat in Tuesday’s Democratic presidential primary in New York apparently hasn't dampened his determination to campaign all the way to the party’s national convention in July.

“We believe we have the momentum and we believe we have a path toward victory,” Sanders said at a news conference in Vermont after Hillary Clinton declared the nomination race is in “the homestretch and victory is in sight.”

Sanders believes he can still win a majority of pledged delegates and then make the case to superdelegates — unpledged party leaders and elected officials who are free to support the candidate of their choice — that he's better positioned than Clinton to take on the Republican nominee.

He deserves it. After he trashed my party, stole from them and then sued them for defending themselves, I am going to enjoy watching him fall apart in public. He's doing it to himself.

And, to think that, as late as January, I really had no objection to voting for the man.

...the odds that he'll have a hissy fit in public, instead of leaving his press corps behind so he can have on on a chartered jet.

That's just my idea of why he hightailed it out of PA and left them behind on the ground. With no notice. With no way to either get home, follow him to VT, or even to know if they should still try to cover his campaign.

He'll head west before the end of Apr 26th.

Can't believe he let Hillary run him outta town.

I voted early today, and I was happy to see the return of paper ballots.

I hope Sanders and company are not foolish enough to trash Maryland. It is a great state.

At his age, Sanders should know that. He still has a lot to learn, apparently.

What else would uncompromising enemy of the Democratic Party wouldn't vow that? Oh well. I'm not too worried. Visit the social media pages of any random super delegate to see all the abuse, harassment, and outright treats from Sanders supports. Yep, that's really gonna change the Super Delgate tide.

I basically just got some pseudo-French revolution spiel about throwing out anyone with wealth. I'm by no means wealthy but, dammit, when Hillary wins in November, I'm celebrating at the most expensive restaurant in town and, dammit, I'm having caviar! Lol

I love hearing about Hillary's alleged warmongering from people who I fear might actually bring out the guillotines given the chance. Some of these people are true extremists who are not any kind of Democrat.

They go on about how socialist FDR was. They clearly don't remember three other letters he was associated with during his time in office ... WPA. He did workfare long before Clinton ever tried it.

Sanders is just going to make us wait a week before calling it a day. And I can't blame him, because no one should concede 7 days before 5 contests at once. After, most definitely, but before, IDK, he's already invested and whatnot. Let him play his little theater.

I think he knows to stow the angry negative shit now though. Like Trump at his speech, Bernie has a bit of a defeated air about him now.

Propping up a failed campaign and going through the motions to give the impression of vital signs.

The primary is over and Hillary won. If he wants to appear delusional about a path to victory that doesn't exist, that's up to him I guess.

He damn well better stop attacking the presumptive nominee though.
