Where was he REALLY?

How can we trust a man like that?

dollars to pay for people who don't deserve healthcare.

Clearly, Pie in the Sky.

Those rumours about him getting old and "slipping" don't seem to have gotten much traction.

He looks GREAT there!

They'll have to come up with something else.

Unfortunately O'Malley would probably win if he was participating.

Bernie's a tough old guy, nothing wrong with him.

Brock was just doing what he gets paid for - sliming the opposition.

He did such a good job on Anita Hill after all.

I saw that one beat into the ground in one thread.

But they never mentioned what they THOUGHT he was doing, just alluded to something unseemly.

and decriminalization of marijuana.

You mean to tell me he was advocating for civil rights 40 years ago?

How can anyone support a candidate like that?

... human rights! That's all the guy ever talks about! And here are all his supporters -- chasing that shiny object!

there would be no time to relax before the eventual Trump victory.


Edit to add: hair on fire emoji.

No contest.

The Rube Righties go Trump and the Rich Righties go Bloomberg.

It's not very complicated.

That started day one and has been so thoroughly discredited that it would be almost idiotic for anyone to bring it up now.

The fact that Bernie fans have deluded themselves doesn't change that.

contenders handily over Hillary? Like I said almost idiotic to bring it on, asinine even.

Everyone outside the Bernie bubble, that is. Things are pretty weird in there.

The reality is, running an underfunded campaign, and getting hit by the GOP attack machine for the first time, he's toast.

You would too if you stepped off the unicorn ranch from time to time.

I called it!

What do I win?

about many other things.

Perhaps you have a linky to back up that claim?

You see, you were claiming that the GE matchup polls proved that Bernie was electable. Right before you started dodging. Remember that?

Now, the 10 months thing, I can see why you are confused. You see, right now is January, the first month. The GE is in November, the eleventh month. And 11-1=10. Glad I could help.

You're slipping, Dan. I'm starting to worry about you.

You are one of the ones who never engages in substantive discussion. I stand corrected.

Just for "substantive discussion". hahahahahahahahahaha

My irony meter actually imploded that time!

Right?

No need to keep trying.

Makes sense that you like unicorns. You're definitely backing the right candidate.

which everyone knows, and suddenly you change the subject to how much you like unicorns.

Hmm.....

reliable predictions. To hell with polls, ask Dan!!

UNICORN


Unicorn


Unicorns!


Flying unicorns!


Ponies!




Damn!

Huh-huh-uh-uh....

and yet that's the whole basis for your belief that Bernie can win the GE. Which you stated quite forcefully I might add. I believe the word "idiotic" was used.

So either you are truly clueless about political polling, or else... well, no, there's no other alternative that I can think of.

from now on. Now can I have my unicorn?

Tarot cards, GE polls 10 months out, knock yourself out.

But that doesn't change the reality that Bernie, running an underfunded campaign, facing the GOP attack machine for the first time, and having the "socialist" label attached to him at every turn, will get crushed by the GOP.

Now is the time for a real progressive populist movement, but the message needs to be clear and not overly complex and it needs to be repeated over and over to drive it home into the minds of the people.

Then Bernie will win.

GE Electorate of 10mo. ago and what people have woken up to right now doesn't hold a candle to anything one can compare to now. That's why back 10 mo. ago the on-line voting and call-up polls where so out of whack with one another. People now are more committed and are registering in droves to make their vote count. Seems like now would be a more accurate feel to how the electorate is trending toward.

about the two guys who see a bear as they are hiking, it's not whether GE polls are accurate 11 months out, it's whether they're more accurate than Dan.

You're saying that Hillary can beat republicans but Bernie can't. In spite of Hillary supporters posting 10+ polls a day showing Hillary winning for the last several months, polls don't mean much. So the polls showing Bernie beating republicans by a much wider margin than Hillary shouldn't be taken as any sort of refutation of your position that Hillary is the only one who can beat republicans.

Seriously, this is a 40 megaton bullshit bomb. You, like a lot of Hillary supporters, are engaging in the most extreme form of motivated reasoning. You have a conclusion to reach and you are going to get there, no matter what facts get in your way.

Not like made-up war stories on being under sniper fire in Bosnia, or taking speaking fees from special interests, could be used for endless entertainment over social media or anything by someone like Trump.

Keep it coming!

Well, they've been strategizing on how to attack Hillary since ....oh.... 2000? And there's so very much baggage to work with.

I don't see how Hillary could ever win. She even lost the last primary.



And some guy who had never been "hit by the GOP attack machine for the first time"...and was half black.... won....twice...


So I don't get your point.

but lacks the depth to provide any details to back up any of his assumptions. Anymore gems of wisdom to lay on us?

nobody as liberal as him has won any major election outside of a few very blue states, and he's got the socialist label, in a country where over 50% of the people wouldn't vote for a socialist.

Also, I think Bernie is well equipped to handle the GOP attack machine. He calls bullshit when he sees it.

...nearly 50%. Nearly 50% of those likely to vote in 2016 know her and don't like her. She's damaged goods. Same old bullshit in a country where the majority of voters are tired of the same old bullshit. So, in my mind, she's the more dangerous pick if one is scared of another Republican in the White House. She's not energizing anyone, other than those on the right who detest her.

Obama ran in 2008 as an unabashed liberal, not that much different from Bernie. He didn't govern as one, certainly, but still scared the bejebus out of the establishment, both Dem and Rep, in 2008. The same complaints were made about him by the very same HRC supporters, limited, narrow experience, underfunded campaign relying on small donations, never been hit by the vaunted Rovean machine, etc., etc. Well, history turned out a bit different, didn't it.

As for that GOP attack machine, he's already being hit by that. Hillary is going all 2008 on him and it's sticking about as well as it did to Obama. It simply adds another coat of same old bullshit to her image. That dynamic will work the same with the Republicans. It's a matter of energy and new ideas. Obama understood that dynamic very well. He was able to shed the attacks and come out clean, with even more solid support than before by staying up beat and on message and trounced McCain's disjointed campaign.

Given the current economic and political mood of the country, I think he's exactly what the majority of voters are looking for. Hillary is not. She's just repackaged same old, same old. Dems win not by being Ike Republicans, but by getting energized voters to the polls. Hillary is incapable of doing that. Bernie certainly is.

g-d only knows what went on at that!

of making that gif my avatar

I may have to play around with it.

A PONY saluting a COMMIE FLAG!

It's perfect!

he is just a pretender.

Cuz theys

....maybe if I don't see team Hillary employing the same dirty tricks and the same surrogates and the same double standards they did 8 years ago then it might be easier for me to hold my nose in the GE if she is the nominee. As it stands every day I see the same bullshit on here, the further and further I slip from being able to do that.

It's beyond disgusting.

crowds, pretty big crowds, and the people who comprise them seem to be listening very carefully to what he says.

Must be something to his message that keeps packing those big arenas.

And Art Garfunkel. Man has some fine recordings with his pal Paul. Alone or together, they surely do make some memorable music. If they're ok with this Sanders guy playing one of their tunes in his ad, I think I'm ok with it too.

They sing "They've all come to look for America" -- as if America is yet to be found but is very much worth finding.

I think it is too.

Go, Bernie.

....enthusiastic.

Dig it, Claire McCaskill, and dig it the most!

Maybe Hillary can lend him someone from her scores of coiffeurs.

He said the other day in a stump speech that his wife made him get a hair cut.

Next thing you know, she'll be talking him into getting a tux.

Who could vote for someone like that?

I am not voting for Sanders because he will lose and the country will be dragged back to the Dark Ages by the republicans.

Very good!
