when you though he'd only lost by a couple points. Why demand others behave more charitably than you?

There was the option to declare as a Democrat, as Bernie did.

Had they not been deleted from the voter list, they would have voted.

What, Sanders voters names were flashing like animated gifs on the computer so whoever allegedly deleted names knew which ones to delete?

Your candidate still sucks shit and most of the country can't stand her. In fact, if it wasn't for the presence of the orange blowhard, she'd be the most despised candidate in the race for either party. What an achievement.

But, as a candidate, Hillary is only going to move right and compromise her way further right. While Bernie had some independent and Republican support, not one Republican will vote for her.

If people showed up out of curiosity, I can imagine being turned off by some of Bernie's more negative fans who were undoubtedly shouting hateful things about Hillary and other democrats.

Also, Bernie says the same thing in every speech, which might have inadvertently had a nails on chalkboard effect.

"There's nothing wrong with America that can't be cured by what's right with America." Just now. I'm sorry. What an empty answer. So much for Clinton specifics. Just another generic speech. Still itemizing the problems and telling buzzwords. I'm sorry. We are in for another four-to-eight years of status quo and Barney Frank logic. I can't wait.

Sanders has held very large rallies in other states that Hillary has won. I wasn't worried about NY. I'm also not worried about PA, MD, NJ and have hope for CT (she's ahead by 6%). I'm not sure about RI and DE.
