Hillary supporter, but I'll admit I find Bernie's campaign to be more energizing.

like sour grapes, and I think it is bad for November. Slamming Planned Parenthood was a turning point for me. I thought it was as stupid as it was just....bitter.

Come on people, there has been ugly shit coming from both sides, and it's your preference that determines how you perceive it.

I think SBS was doing better before he started to go negative. To me, he is burning too many bridges with the broad brush attacks on other Dems and "establishment" people. I give him a lot of credit for resisting a negative campaign, credit that I could never extend to people here on ether side of it.

calling him racist and sexist have been beyond acceptable.

She never called him a racist. People here were lied about with claims they called SBS racist. Never seen such bullshit.

it was not bullshit. Claiming he didn't value the black vote, ad nauseum.

He had not one word in his stump speeches or website about womens reproductive rights or issues important to POC- for at least three weeks. Nothing. Anyone who said so was accused of calling him a racist or worse. That was a big fuck up.

but thanks for playing!

were accused of saying it for exactly that reason. I saw it, and it was fucking stupid.

And this doesn't value the black president...

But...thanks!

Phrasing is something that is more language based and less specific forum based. Also are you sure she is not a member here?

Claiming the did not value the black vote is NOT calling him a racist, and pretty fucking offensive.

He had not one word in his stump speeches or website about womens reproductive rights or issues important to POC- for at least three weeks. Nothing. Anyone who said so was accused of calling him a racist or worse. That was a big fuck up.

and when people noted it- the response was to deny he was racist- when no one said he was racist. that went on for weeks.

What was your response too?

As were the organized attacks on POC here.

But those who will not see, cannot see.

Very telling.

Rachel Maddow was just talking about how odd- but true- this has been in polling.

That really angered me. He clarified his statement later on saying that he was referring to her policies, but too late. When you say that the most qualified person in many years to run for president is not qualified to do the job, then you're off the rails. It was particularly grating because that person also happened to be a woman, and as any woman or minority knows full well, the incline of the ladder we have to climb seems always steeper than for white men.

Please people, even if you can't be honest with us, be honest with yourselves.

She has had lots of practice.

which shows she said he was unqualified. As I said Sanders said she said it, it was not true, he had to back track.

But, you knew that.

See, a talking point gone array.

She called him unqualified (not she said he was) by implying he was.

You know exactly what I mean. It doesn't matter if it's implied or outright spoken. The listeners get the gist of what is being implied.

He never actually called her unqualified either. He said if she does these things she is unqualified.

But go ahead and keep your narrative going. I know it's all you've got.

and he goes and proves her right by reading a headline and not the story....and guess what, she NEVER said that. Now if you are mad because she didn't sing his praises, well he can do his own campaigning. That's not her job. She's a bit busy.

The message declared that she was going to change her tactic to "disqualify and destroy" his candidacy and put the party back together afterward. I personally saw/heard this as it happened. This preceded the Post headline, which was a day or two later.

Despite Joe Scarborough egging her on and asking the question more than once. On the other hand, Sanders outright said that she was not qualified to be president at one of his rallies in PA. He mentioned a WAPO headline that proved to be erroneous. Both him and the headline garnered three Pinocchios from the WAPO's own fact checkers.

Did Hillary Clinton say Bernie Sanders 'not qualified' to be president? Not directly

Maybe you just aren't smart enough to pick up on the "implied" message.

She's competing against him...this isn't your first rodeo, and you know this.

Nobody said she she should run his campaign or praise him.

Yes, she's competing against him.

Two points here that have absolutely nothing to do with this discussion.

Whooosh!

He wouldn't be running himself. That's what's an election is all about. Making the case of ones own qualifications and the opponents lack of such.

Besides, do you think that his "not qualified" came out of thin air, orfrom a headline from WaPo he saw only minutes before entering the stage?

And don't you think it was a bit disingenuous by Hillary to insiniauted that he didn't know what he was talking about regarding the banks (policy stance supported by 170 economists) when he actually was right all along? Saying "he hasn't done his homework" is just another phrasing for "he is not qualified!"

If you can cheer tolerate all the artful smears from Hillary and her surrogates and her Karl Rovian ties with David Brock, I wonder why you are having such issues with "I don't think that someone who takes money from large corporations and vote in their favor when in power over the people is qualified".
Bernie never said directly that she was not qualified. He said that her policies makes her unfit for office.

One question more.

What's the fascination of getting decade long reruns in the WH? Don't you get tired of plucking from the same pool of incompetents and the same names all the time?
Will people have problems remembering the name of a new president not named Clinton or Bush?

if I don't want to go to a junior college arena and listen to a speech she has given a million times before?

(Though MY candidate doesn't give canned speeches, so its not like I even COULD do what the Sanders people do to show their frenzied adoration.)

...given that capturing a sizable amount of them as voters is crucial to victory in November.

But alas, I don't think they were polled -- New York, unfortunately, is a closed primary state.

it seems likely that he feels they would break for him. However, contrary to common DU notions, it turns out that majorities of independents in a majority of states so far have voted for Hillary.

It was a surprise to me too. I probably should spend less time in DU's little echo-chamber world and more checking out the real world.

That I back Hillary. -_-

What nursing home did they poll?

Clinton the big energizer? Oh, get real.

frighten you more than your inevitable wrinkles: not everyone gets even a whit wiser or more knowledgeable with age.

I think you mean "shit" not "chit",
but your point is taken, and I apologize to the older generation.

THOSE energized voters might have a different take on the situation.

"It has been reported to us from voters and voting rights monitors that the voting lists in Brooklyn contain numerous errors, including the purging of entire buildings and blocks of voters from the voting lists," de Blasio said in a statement Tuesday calling on the board to "reverse that purge."

Big money tends to lean right wing.

... if its from small donors he's tossing a lot of dough around to lose.

Bernie still not connecting with African America voters. If he hasn't by now.. he never will.

That's just a flat out lie.

You can talk about voters v. crowds, fine, but Bernie has energized the party.

Hillary... meh.

BTW, I'm here until June.

considering the lunatic squad we are up against.

I do think her share of voters is basically more committed to participate in November...... which is a damned shame.

has tapped out on idiocy, along comes a Republican.

bead throwing, doubloon tossing parade of crazy all by himself.

That will probably be the most satisfaction I will get out of this election year. Such a pig.

I really hope he concedes tonight.

Hillary is many things, but exciting is definitely not one of them.
