She simply must somehow convince NYers that Bernie is coo-coo bananas, it's all she's got.

Problem with that is, we've seen the more she attacks, the more it helps Bernie. Hillary is in a very tough spot where smears are the only path forward.

people get used to that. After a while, you can come into contact with someone and smile and say, "Good Morning", and the response you will get is, "WTF is that supposed to mean?" If Hillary was a DU member she would be a giant, mocking ROFL smiley of a poster and would be ignored very quickly by most.

I take offense to that!

...secure in the knowledge that white American politicians will take notice of them one out of every four years, like clockwork. Even if said politicians, and the rest of us, are a bit hazy on the numbers.

Take it easy boys, me and the sherriff take a dim view to show offs with guns (from one of my favorite movies)

number regarding "it's not dark enough brownie!!!" bullshit melanin purity test the poster uses to assign consideration of someone as a "true" PoC minority meme that is as divisive as it was meant to be.

I am a rainbow coalition kinda' guy and don't like the attempts at division just for a teen like heart throb love of a candidate.

Sorry to Jeff or anyone else that misunderstood my attempt, in my defense I was rushing out the door for an appointment when I posted it and should have worded it better.

Am I wrong?

I'm not wrong about this: there has to be an end to the melanin tests as to whether a person has a right to speak.
Unless you support Hillary Rodham Clinton. In that case you can say any kind of shit.

Let's see if you get a response.

lol

"Non-white" might cover a few more groups...

the number "43".All numbers in the 40-50 range are not "45"!!!

Sorry if I hurt your feelings, but sometimes saying 'cut it out" is just not enough.

Are you sad you spent moments of your life you will never get back demeaning a stranger on an anonymous message board and do you think that was a liberal and empathetic thing to have done?

right back at you and your so-called "hurt feelings".

As an empathetic individual I rather be the subject of your wrath than somebody else. That's why I won't regret the time we spent in our tête-à-tête.

Is that still called a "Jesus Complex" or has it been changed to a "Hillary Complex"?

Maybe you should ponder that question yourself, champ.

No man or woman stands so tall as when he or she lifts others up.

But not elsewhere in our discussion about the difference between saying something about an opinion and saying something directly about that person. http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1251&pid=1660451

Weird huh? Kind of makes people doubt your sincerity.

Which is it? Is language exact enough to justify your comment here or inexact enough to justify your other statements? Your differing views between here and there seem to contradict each other.

I am flattered, I think.

Its non existent

Not in someone who is trying to earn your vote to become your boss.

How do you see:

1) the state going
2) NYC going?

I'll go first:

1) State: Clinton 55.4, Sanders 44.6
2) City: Clinton 65, Sanders 35

Long Island will be even, and NYC will be strong for Bernie, 60-40. Even if true, it's probably not good enough to make up the difference in delegates, but it WILL demonstrate the power of his message and ideas.

on how things will shake down here--I actually have Bernie winning upstate (which parochially I'm calling everything north of Westchester) by double digits.

We'll see in 13 days.

In NYC. I'd give him Long Island, though.

Seeing as the New York primary is closed, Sanders isn't going to be dealing with the same sort of electorate as he was in Wisconsin. Independents are not allowed to vote in the Democratic primary. Sanders only got tied among Democrats in Wisconsin. The real "firewall" is Democrats and Sanders has a major issue winning Democrats.

their Dem registration.

2 weeks to go and more scandals on the horizon.

Just waiting for those tears.

Hillarys supers.

I assure you, she is not unhappy about such a tiny loss. I'm sure she would have rather won, but she knows that she still has a HUGE lead.

What in the world???

Bernie was expected to win Wisconsin and to be honest, the fact that he only won by 13% and got a whopping 10 delegates in a state that seemed custom made for him is strange as hell. And he once again lost the black vote. But somehow, him losing the black vote YET AGAIN is a good thing and Hillary is the one who's panicking despite being ahead 250 delegates???

Upside freaking down world around here today. Somebody's panicking but I don't think it's who people are so desperately trying to say it is.

party. She laughed like crazy at the silly notion that someone who has been recruiting, fundraising, and campaigning for Dem candidates for about 40 years was suddenly the party destroyer.

We really have entered silly season.

with an urgency that sidelines "party unity."

The Clinton campaign is all in -- they are risking their biggest single advantage against Sanders: the myth of Hillary's inevitability.

This is beyond panic, beyond being the first to blink. This is how Clinton went down in 2008 -- slinging mud at Barack. It cost her then and it still resonates. The voters most involved don't forget these things.

When Hillary attacks the Democratic voter base for backing her primary challenger she loses, short term and long term:

She may sharpen her rhetoric, but she is all about the differences in their plans. That isnt going to change. She has a huge lead, and she knows it is unlikely to fail her.

you guys get blown out of the water

and you can't even see it

it is like watching cartoons

is absolutely one of the most insulting and despicable things I've seen - yet. And we're only on day one of her "Disqualify and defeat" strategy. ick.

It is nice to watch her go further into it, daily.

NYers are hard to bamboozle.

Albany metro area is contiguous to VT.

Bernie sounds NYC. It will help him gain momentum.

He still sounds like Brooklyn.

It's important to remember 2 key details:

1) Wisconsin was an open primary with same-day registration (albeit with onerous regulations)

and

2) New York's voter registration deadline has passed and it's a closed primary.

Sanders will win but the landslide percentage has me worried.

and laughter.
