Yes, HRC, her surrogates and many of her supporters are full of it. UNTRUSTWORTHY! nt nc4bo Feb 2016 #18
i saw that ad here in OK madokie Feb 2016 #33

It's called focusing on here you have a chance of doing well Armstead Feb 2016 #12
Odd strategy if he really intends on winning the whole ball game.. DCBob Feb 2016 #14
It's nice that you're so concerned! You should send his campaign your suggestions DCBob. nt nc4bo Feb 2016 #19
I have no interest in helping Sander's campaign. DCBob Feb 2016 #20
Oh I "got it" alright, realized the bottom was rotten and quickly 86'd it.. nt nc4bo Feb 2016 #21
Nah..you didn't get it. DCBob Feb 2016 #23
The larger implications that Bernie doesn't care about minorities? Armstead Feb 2016 #22
That's the rotten part. Team Hill cannot focus on policy without resorting to slurs. nt nc4bo Feb 2016 #24
You didn't get it either. DCBob Feb 2016 #25
Should have just said that Armstead Feb 2016 #27
You may be right but I doubt he can win with that strategy. DCBob Feb 2016 #28
Probably not. The deck and time are stacked against him. But no one could have forseen... Armstead Feb 2016 #29
The Dem leadership had already decided on Hillary long ago. DCBob Feb 2016 #32
It's one of the bigger states up that day and delegates are rewarded proportionally Tom Rinaldo Feb 2016 #34

Hahaha M$M cut away...said they thought Sanders was having a news conference but nc4bo Feb 2016 #7
Well he did take a question from the Press - so it's a press conference! Nanjeanne Feb 2016 #11
I reckon it's a rally speech and presser in one. nc4bo Feb 2016 #17
Great Bernie speech.... NO TPP! kgnu_fan Feb 2016 #8

Hillary is NOT adopting ANY of Sander's policies.
She is just saying she is.
Like Obama, those will be trash canned on day ONE while she serves Wall Street and the War Mongers.

I was simply making an observation and implying that it might have larger implications but clearly you didn't get it.

I once had a fair amount of respect for you even though I often disagreed.

Oh well.

I thought it was obvious with the ball game analogy but I guess not. I think Bernie is throwing in the towel but will keep going anyway and try to win as many states and delegates as he can to give his message as much strength and exposure as possible. That's it.

But I disagree about throwing in the towel. Perhaps trying to generate momentum by chalking up wins in places he thinks he has a chance to win....And chalking up as many delegates as bargaining chips if he doesn't.

how far he has already come. So who knows?

But you know what really bothers me?

If the Democratic leadership had given him more support, acknowledged his legitimacy (longterm and popular Congress member, one of America's Best Mayors) and helped him buff up some of his rough edges, I am absolutely convinced he could smoke the shit out of the GOP.

A big win gains Sanders a lot more delegates - plus an impressive margin of victory thee would be, well, impressive. Clinton will have some big margin victories to point to down South of her own.

MSNBC accidently covered some really juicy bits. I didn't see the entire thing and am now po'd they didn't stick it out.

Just now, they cut back to Sanders saying the campaign was just wrapping up the presser.

Idiots by decision.

Thanks Nanjeanne!
