I believe this because I've seen similar craziness play itself out in my own State, a reasonably blue California that kicked out a Democratic governor and replaced him with a brash, know-nothing body builder/actor, a remarkably strange "Governator" who was completely out of his depth but who somehow managed to win election not just once, but twice.
So yeah, I believe anything can happen (and possibly will).

(5,614 posts)I really like the second one. So restrained and sophisticated compared to the other two, especially the nude statue in the fountain.

(39,316 posts)Bernie supporters, and I often am one, come across as even more defensive than Hillary supporters.
I don't remember this kind of taking it personal from other primaries, is this a millenial, gen-x thing? I can't imagine actually being that invested to get so wound up at this stage because it's still the Democratic party we're dealing with not the gop.

(39,316 posts)Hillary has more experience in that game. The game is politics, it's not nearly as dirty as the other side. That's why I wonder about generations because there's an oversensitivity I haven't witnessed before.
