Bernie Town Hall on msnbc

He's basically saying Hillary, if nominee, has to come on board to his ideas...but what he was spouting were some things she's already on board with... Like she doesn't share some of his views on issues? He has all the answers?

Don't like his threatening tone...but he did say he would do everything in his power to make sure a repub isn't president. So why not say he'd support her??

just a few more days. Without them the Democratic party will boot him right out of every committee and group from now until the day we dies and goes to the big commune in the sky!

Won't infringe on reg TV viewing... Talking about soda tax...saying it would hurt poor people... So I guess he's still trying to get their votes?

He's looking schlumpy in his chair...

For days, or perhaps a couple of months, I've been hanging out here in this group - as the only safe place for me to be in on the internet. I've read your posts and felt like I was with friends. Today I finally registered. Glad to be here, and excited to participate in the wins.

Bernie is coming off as angry, irritated. All the questions being asked are when will he accept defeat, will he support Hillary, will he support republicans, does he think he will do anything to stop republicans etc. There are only a few policy questions. He was very unhappy about all the "process" questions like "how can you still think you should win if you lose the votes?" Waiting for Hillary's TH.

This is a great post in GDP in response to this town hall: Bernie was saying how the revolution from all the young people rising up will make the change:

Thank you! Here's what I never got about his revolution argument. Revolution is re-evolution, ie, throwing away what we've got and starting from scratch. It happens when everything is completely broken and EVERYONE revolts. But atleast 50% of the country (republicans) are completely against any kind of "socialism". That leaves 50%. Atleast 25% are support Hillary. That leaves maybe 25% at best. How is it a revolution when a tiny minority supports the wholesale change?

because he is a better candidate than Hillary and in the end the supers will back him, because they want to win, he said it toward the beginning.

And, I don't like his my way tone either, but maybe this is his way of saving face.

I think it's a tantrum because he's a sore loser. And as you said, he appears to have issues losing to a strong woman.
