They aren't going to override the candidate with the most pledged delegates.

campaign to burn it down. They're children.

We have overwhelmingly supported Bernie in the two parts of our caucus so far.


And by the reaction to the mention of the superdelegates on Sunday, they will face the public in the future. I know I will not vote for them again if they don't. I have always voted for the Dems, I don't care if Patty and Maria don't go back to the Senate. They voted for the TPP anyway.

Sanders supporters won the overwhelming majority of the approximately 200,000 democrats who showed up for the caucus. This is not to be sneezed at or denigrated, it's a major accomplishment.

Maria Cantwell won re-election 4 years ago with 1,800,000 votes. In the same election Jay Inslee won the governor's race with
1,500,000 votes.

So realistically there are approximately 1,500,000 to 1,800,000 democratic and democratic leaning voters in Washington state.

Obviously there are both HRC and Sanders supporters in those numbers.

So why did 1,300,000 to 1,600,000 democratic and democratic leaning voters NOT go to the caucus?
a) too busy
b) too tired
c) too apathetic
d) too cynical
e) just don't give a rats ass, will vote for either candidate.

For anybody who pays attention to politics in this state the answer is overwhelmingly e)

When November rolls around if HRC is the candidate this state will go for HRC and reelect all the democratic super delegates to the offices they hold. If Sanders is the candidate this state will go for Sanders and reelect all the democratic super delegates to the offices they hold.

But I live in a precinct that is borderline red/blue=eastside. So I may be able to make an impact still.

I paid to sit at a lunch with those two, and I will never do that again.

possible Republican candidates in November than Hillary.

That is an excellent reason to switch.

The poll numbers are there.

There are several other reasons that they may switch between now and the convention. Bernie should not quit the race until the convention.

Anything can happen. It may be an open convention, and Bernie would have the best chance in November.

I'm confused....Say she has the most pledged delegates, meaning more voters voted for her, the supers should overturn the will of the people in the Democratic primary? If it was reversed, would you think it was a good idea?

the most diverse populations in the country, does not vote until June 7. It's not over until the last voter votes.

There are a few more states until CA. But this thread is about Weaver saying that they would try to change the SD to win the nom...so all the people who have voted and say she has more delegates, no of that matters?

Slimy, too

Bernie's campaign manager is talking about overturning the will of the people, and you are mad at Hillary people because they think this is wrong?

from Bernie supporters from now on. They're coming apart.

As I said elsewhere, CNN's Facebook page had a post about the people who died in the flood in Houston and Bernie supporters were derailing the tragic topic of thread by ranting about CNN's delegate count. It was truly the most disgusting low point I've seen in this election.

I've always had a huge issue with the way right wingers go onto the most random news story and start going on about "liberals," "Obama," "Illegals" or whatever, and nine times of ten, the story's not even about politics! I read one article about a little girl having a heart transplant and it became all about liberals are evil. I swear you could read an article about a horse winning a horse race and they'd make it about politics. Well, now we've got our own version of that on the left and it is a very said thing.

And when I looked in the comments for tips and hints, it had devolved into socialist Obamacare. A cake recipe. I shit you not.

I've seen similar behavior from rude little BB's and babes as well. I know we'll probably see a last mad burst of flames and venom , but I'm glad it's going to start winding down now.

Trumpites. But we've got them.

The post you replied to was the posters 8th hide in the last 90 days.

That OP is ridiculous.

then count my black ass out.

whatever the skin tone.

But I'm a little nicer than people think. I like to count people of all skin tones. I don't discriminate. Especially when I count people in my "Naughty List", and guess what? Your number is up!


Congrats!!!

I really don't want to think about your black ass. Unless you are Beyonce or Rhianna or Halle or Wanda Sykes. On second thought, skip Wanda.

So I don't think its that strange at all.

Sanders' positives are very, very high and his negatives very, very low. He is likely to win against any of the Republican candidates. Hillary is riskier.

And our Party is split. It will be easier for Hillary supporters to switch to Bernie than for Bernie supporters to switch to Hillary.

They would love to run against him.

But you never know. Sanders now has name recognition. No matter what happens in the Party, his polling in face-offs with every one of the Republicans show Bernie winning.

He should stay in the race. Many of us in California want to vote for him.

And a lot can happen in so far as Hillary is concerned between now and the election.

She has several problems. Even if she should win the nomination, she could still have problems.

She is popular among the elite of the Democratic Party, and that gets her lots of primary votes, but how she would do in a general election? I don't think she is a strong candidate at all.

Hillary had favored companies that are her donors on votes and as Secretary of State, but Bernie did not "tell" on her. He has been very careful not to attack her.

She has attacked him.

They have policy differences.

Bernie is building a movement. This is not just about an election for those of us who support Bernie. I think Bernie is doing the right things and should not change one hair on his head or any aspect of his campaign.

Hillary can't deal with it because she is a weak candidate. She does not have the temperament to be a president, and it shows.

Now Obama. He has the temperament to be a president. He does not react to every tiny slight. Slights are a part of life. Bernie handles them well. Hillary???? Not so much. Very sensitive. Hypersensitive. And it isn't because she is a woman. It's because she is Hillary.

What can he accomplish?

But he can't win against Bernie if we have another crash as expected.

That doesn't even make sense.

I can't believe she implied/suspected/(hoped?) that....wow.

At some point Bernie might want to start thinking about his rep in the Senate, committee assignments etc.

I want super delegates!

...about as successful as Katich's attempt to get the GOP nomination as "most electable".

He worries me.

If the Democratic Party members really wanted Hillary, they wouldn't have had to do so much cheating and mud slinging.

I will never accept a Democratic Party establishment ruled by big corporations, the rich, and imperialists.

Democratic Party?

Ok I do like Star Wars but...really ???

Is he serious? He still thinks that after everything that's happened with the BernieBros attacking superdelegates and the two dnc lawsuit threats during an election year?

to line his pocket 27 bucks at a time, I feel sorry for them.

They are being had.

and only offer hope for the past.

That's not how it works. What could he be thinking? It makes no sense!

They think their hate speech towards those people will inspire them to drop Hillary...the people's choice with MILLIONS move votes than Sanders and move to him??

What a bunch of DUMBASSES! Damn!

The existing rules, DNC, and Democratic Party establishment favored the front running candidate, Hillary Clinton.

For Sanders to continue campaigning up to the Democratic convention is good just for the fact that Clinton and the Democratic Party will do better in the general election and down tickets the better they know and address the liberals that support Sanders.

If not against the rules to solicit super-delegates, why not? It is good for the Party and nation.

ever.

But, that may not be the point. The point may be to illustrate the dangerous power that is in the hands of the super delegates.

And, FWIW, no Hillary supporter has the right to speak about hypocrisy.

^^^^booyah

Weaver and Bernie names after you won tonight boggles the mind! You people seem to have gotten the confidence to be cruel, and disgusting in your comments. So when you win you call people filthy names...Glad I'm not in your group.

money grubber.

This strategy is really sad and deserving of pity

That's not what happened.

The media made much of the run of states Sanders won coming into this, but they were all states in his demographic wheelhouse. Now, the race turns to states more prone to support Secretary Clinton. Also, after the New York win, expect the national polls to start swinging back in Clinton's direction.

That is not to say that Sanders has not run a competitive race, and he's raised a ton of money. In the end, I don't think Weaver will sway any SDs.

I suspect that the other strategy Weaver will recommend is shifting the campaign to California now, and seeing if Sanders can pull an upset there.

I'd take Weaver over that Saudi loving slime bucket any day.

Look at the Facebook pages of nearly any of the super delegates. There are Sanders supporters ranting and raving at them in the comments and derailing existing posts on other topics. I'd be shocked if many of these supers would actually switch after that, especially with Hillary leading in the delegate count.

So many people who matter are getting turned off Bernie because of his attitude and this weaver guy is a real slime. His scuzzy campaign is starting to catch up with him.

Give me a break. The woman doesn't have wings on her back and a halo over her head.

...doncha know?

The party will rally behind the vote and delegate leader. I think Weaver is drunk if he believes his own nonsense.

Nobody likes a sore loser, especially one who could give a damn about the will of the people. And I refuse to give Bernie a pass for what his "surrogates" say. They are all on the same page.
