Hillary Clinton
Related: About this forumHillary given a gift by rabid BS fanatics in Cali
I predict that California will swing against BS after what happened in L.A.
Not only is it the final nail in the coffin, but his image is permanently and irreversibly damaged. No VP, no nothing. He needs to go back where he came from right after he concedes.
Thanks Bernie Bros in Cali, you're Hillary's best ally

and he's been abusive to the Democratic cause with disingenuous slurs.
We shall see what happens in California.. I hope this news has gotten out. I hear Rachel smoothed it over last night.

(15,373 posts)but I wonder whether he still has his eye on HHS, which is what he really wanted to do after the 2008 election.
In any event, whether there will be a challenge or not will depend on Bernie's behavior from now through November, IMO. Right now, things are not looking good for him.

(15,373 posts)Jane and the rest of his campaign team. They are doing him no good service whatsoever.
In the final analysis though, it's always falls right on the candidate's shoulders. The lack of judgment he has shown in this campaign is striking and proves that he should be nowhere near the WH.
OTOH, the silver lining for HRC is that this same lack of judgment has many voters re-thinking Bernie's candidacy.

(15,445 posts)It was as if a Bernie-Bot been pre-programmed and delivered with that monotonous message.
And, no matter what might happen subsequently, the Bot would NOT be deflected from that pre-recorded script.

(23,741 posts)Between BS and DT, they have really brought out the creeps from under the rocks. While I'm sure the majority of BS supporters are rationale, good people, he has allowed his campaign to be taken over by the vocal far, far left minority. They have tainted his image and he has done nothing to reign them in or disassociate his campaign from them.

Surya Gayatri
(15,445 posts)just before that primary. The Washington Square debacle just about cooked BS's goose.
As the L.A. images of jeering, sneering Bros. and their bullhorns go viral, I expect the same kind of swing in Hillary's favor.
Most people don't like nastiness and negativity.
Go figure...

The only "vile" behavior is in your head.
The untold heroes of the 2016 election are the millions of Hillary supporters who, despite being disregarded, demeaned and marginalized, have carried Hillary to victory after historic victory.

Hillary supporters don't need to "create scandals out of non issues.." BS does that all on his own.
They're only "non issues" because his fans don't care what he does.. the hypocrisy is stunning..
A Conscience of Convenience
Progressives who refuse to vote trampled on their own values when they decided all corporations were evil except gun manufacturers. They were so righteous in their beliefs that they condescendingly attacked the parents and families of the Sandy Hook victims by accusing them of being exploited by Hillary Clinton. Do those Progressives think they are the only ones with the privilege to use the political system to affect change? Do they see everyone else as too naive to see they are being manipulated? It appears that way to many of us.
They're nothing if not hypocritical.. Oh Jaysus!
burnie would never have made a decent potus.. We'll win without them anyway.. they're the type to sit home on their thumbs while stamping their little feet.

(718 posts)People leaving the rally were forced to cross through a narrow channel where they were cornered by an angry mob of idiot "protesters," who screamed in their faces through bullhorns, including screaming obscenities, and just generally being threatening, nasty, and stupid, and frightening small children.
You can see several videos and photos for yourself at the final link below. The free hugs guy comforting the crying child is not with the bullies.
(To my knowledge Sander's has yet to attempt to contain or calm the crazy subset of rabid fans. I assume he will continue to go around fanning the flames.)

(20,450 posts)the hate on while pretending to stay above it all.
But what bothers me the most are people making excuses for Bernie. And he continues to fool his fans into believing he has a viable path to the nomination. He doesn't but he's misleading his fanatics and raising money off of a lie.
I think he's just as bad as Palin and his fanatical deranged supporters are like the Teabaggers.
Not ALL BS supporters are like this, just the fanatics.

(718 posts)Watching Clinton supporters walk through that angry, threatening, pathetic mob full of hate, screaming, F* at them, screaming through bullhorns in their faces, and bullying little children. They disgusted me in every way. They looked like the mob screaming at black people entering highschool when schools became integrated. That's how I'll always see them in that moment. Just disgusted.
