He has to burst her inevitability bubble and then the political landscape will change.

No signs that the Revolution has begun. Where is it?

Bernie will have won 8 states by tonight.

I believe that it is the tale of Hillary's inevitability that is wearing thin.

She is running out of time to close this out.

...besides "anything can happen"

Bernie has closed the gap in other primaries.

and a town hall. and most importantly....the tell....Hillary reversed course on her participation in the town hall.

Team Hillary didn't like the trend in the internal polling.

It will be the smug, condescending, insufferable DU postings of yourself, bknite, LexVegas and several others which stay my hand in favor of no-one.

Thank you for doing such a bang-up job of marginalizing and alienating my (and many others') opinions and concerns.

Swing State Voter, Signing Out..

I will vote for Bernie if he is the nominee. I won't even hesitate or hold my nose. I don't want this country to be dominated by a right wing, fascist Supreme Court over the next, at least, two decades. I cannot imagine how a real Democrat would not vote for the Democrat in a presidential election, rather than giving his/her vote to the Repubs by sitting out the election.

... on an internet political forum are not to be taken seriously, at least for me they aren't. Fortunately, the great majority of voting-age individuals have a much more mature attitude about what their vote means, and aren't inclined to use it as an empty gesture of vengeance toward some unknown person (who's unlikely to care one way or the other).

Interesting to see how people who *appear* to "care" so much about the value of their vote are so willing to throw it away as if it had no value at all. I guess that's why I don't take them seriously. They're either not serious about their threat, or they weren't serious about their vote to begin with.

You'll do as you wish. It doesn't matter to me. If you refused to vote for the nominee, then that was your choice beforehand. Using me (or the other named individuals) as your "excuse" is completely meaningless.



Go, Hillary! We love you!

...if Bernie could just barely lose nearby Nevada with its Republican governor & one Republican senator, he may well have a shot in notably more liberal California.

I just don't think it gets the job done.

And I think it's cute how you call it a "discussion."

...doesn't have any relation to electoral success in a State as large and diverse as California.

I can still see a longshot that involves tying in MI and taking Ohio and PA. But that shot keeps getting longer daily. (But, hey, I'm still Team O'Malley at heart, so obviously longshots don't deter me.)

Of which, we will assuredly be subjected to plenty.

The shooting? Meh! Won't bother me at all ...

I'm not naive, the question is whether Hillary will drop Bernie's message like a bad habit. I think she will, hopefully she proves me wrong.

So I hope you're wrong, too.

Expect a right wing centrist at best.

Nothing will change. Many would say that's a good thing. However, a lot of systemic change is required. And damn soon. But it won't happen.

Those systemic issues were in place when Clinton and Obama were elected. They're still there only now even more entrenched. This isn't about dissing Obama or BC. It's about returning the US gov't once again into a body that works for WE THE PEOPLE - the masses - NOT just the big corprats, Wall St. and the 1%.

But it's not going to happen. We will continue to have a gov't that doesn't work for or even HEAR 99% of us. We're not even visible to them. Money buys ears and eyes in Washington and none of us have enough to give them to get them to see or listen.

We're done.

Nothing will.

elect a true progressive, it's so obvious now that corporatism has been destructive for most Americans.

In Congress. Your Right Wing centrist meme is just the same old smear. It's a pant load. She's not liberal enough for the Purity Party but she will be for the US electorate

Stick it to the man.

That is all he needs to do.

... is if it is stolen from him.

you need green bouncies for posts like that.

... portraying Hillary in an orange jumpsuit. DUers are finding it difficult to detect sarcasm and ridicule unless it is explicitly labeled.

The rest of us don't need to vote. We should just all fold up our tents and go home. Get ready for the coronation. Resistance is futile. I know! That could be Hill's campaign theme!

He isn't and he won't.

I don't really care if we lose. We lose bigger when we don't show up for the fight.

There is no chance of that. If he stays in after Mar 15th that tells me his real end goal is to tear down the Democratic Party as much as possible.

My theory is that he was never really in it to win it. If he was he wouldn't have sealed his fate with AA voters by dissing the crap out of Obama. And he would have had some sort of plan to elect down ticket Dems he would need for his "revolution" - instead he smears the whole party.

I think he's bitter that the Democrats in congress have not supported his socialist legislation over the years, and this is simply his parting shot. It's unfortunate, IMO, that he is using his true believers to do this. They don't deserve that.

AND PRINCE CONSORT BILL !!

nomination by working hard for it. It's funny, I never see this kind of language used for all the men who have run for President.

Meanwhile the family royal Bush has retired from public service.

Hillary will win the big ones such as Michigan, Illinois, Florida, Ohio, New York, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey. California will likely be close so that doesn't help him. He will likely win Oregon and Washington state.. but too little too late.

I think Sanders campaign know this and are now in survival mode.. win a few states here and there and pick up enough delegates to have some influence at the convention.

No one was going to defeat her this time around. She took her lumps in 2008 and did all the right things politically, starting with nominating Barack Obama by acclimation in Denver, which has not been forgotten. Bernie has probably done as well as any challenger could have, but you don't get to parachute into the party a year before this presidential election after spending seven years making up your mind in public whether or not Obama has been a good President and beat an established star who has paid her dues like Hillary.

fact. HRC is well known everywhere, Bernie Sanders is not. Hillary has no new voters to attract BECAUSE she is so well known. Bernie has gone from complete obscurity to being about 200 delegates behind. He has nowhere to go but up. The more people get to know him the more likely he can win. He is attracting new voters, independents and Hillary has maxed out her support.

His status as a relative unknown has always been presented as a bug in the program, but as you point out, it's actually a feature.

but I feel fairly positive that he will take Alaska on the 26th.
