Hillary is winning major urban areas....this is proof that she represents the party more than Bernie

Dems are concentrated in urban areas and Hillary is winning these areas handily.

Detroit, Houston, Chicago, Boston, Atlanta, etc.

Bernie represents my values and to me is all about what a real Democrat should be.

Does he oppose Citizens United?

Did he vote against he war in Iraq?

Is he in favor of marriage equality?

Is he in favor of reinstating Glass Steagall?

Does he take money from Wall Street?

Does he support fracking?

Is he for healthcare for all?

Did he flip flop on TPP?

Does he smear his opponent(auto bailout lie, Koch brothers smear), or call his opponent a one issue candidate?

I'm not sure I recognize the Democratic party any more, as it moves further to the right, embracing corporate America and the status quo. On this site I suppose I'm expected to ignore all the things that Hillary is not when compared to Bernie and just fall in line and support Hillary. For the good of the party right?

And he has lost many of the primary races among Democrats.

No one running for the Dem nominee could ever prevail with this lack of support.
