SethAbramson: As Sanders Supporter I'm Embarrassed

Seth Abramson said, on Twitter ( @SethAbramson ) that, as a supporter of Bernie Sanders, the Proff Seth says he's embarrassed that Bernie Sanders only won 50 out of 62 counties, in New York; cause he expected more of Bernie.

So did I

.....dark day turned pure Bernin Blue

To Seth I say ....Thank You

And to Hill.

Thanks to Patriot's comment - below - we were linked to a great thread of hope, and this image

It gets in my craw, how dedicated a progressive I am, to have to endure the babbling, oppressive, bantering Bullchit of those who would dare question my loyalties, because I won't allow them to bully me into accepting a coronation.

Such is how England has a Queen, who's not actually English

Hillary is a millionaire, 100 times over - and Bernie has been at politics longer, having much less.

Bernie gets 25% of the Republican vote, and turned Vermont into fair cost and bliss

The Hill gets a foundation, private jets and private servers.

In our eToys public company defraud by Bain & Sachs - Hillary would suck in prosecuting.

But Bernie's new USAG would jump at the chance.


IT IS ALL THAT BLACK & WHITE

So, you oppressive's who dare to call the rest of us not progressive

Suck on this map and the facts that glare at you - BLACK & WHITE - while hundreds of thousands of votes were blocked.

Enjoy your neo days

He won 6. She won 21.

Congressional districts are, generally, population centric lines drawn.

Counties are, generally, land boundary lines.

If trees could vote, he woulda killed it last night.

Delegates are awarded by population votes not acreage won.

With Hillary we get a faux Progressive; and we'll be fighting each other.

Romney, on the other hand, it is only a matter of time, before I take him down.

But haughty's such as you, could care less about things like that...

Hillary is a Republican.... she said she was proud of such roots.

But that's a FACT - and you blind eyed die hard Hill'bots simply don't care about the facts.

During a Fox News town hall on Monday night, Clinton and Sanders were asked about their position on late-term abortions. Sanders' stance was easy to discern: He opposes abortion restrictions, full stop. Clinton's answer was murkier. She began her response to moderator Bret Baier with a broad defense of a woman's right to an abortion, mentioning the current Supreme Court case involving Texas' anti-abortion regulations and the continued Republican attacks on Planned Parenthood. But Baier persisted on the matter of late-term abortions, asking, "Just to be clear, there's no—without any exceptions?"

Clinton replied, "No—I have been on record in favor of a late-pregnancy regulation that would have exceptions for the life and health of the mother."

I think this has to do with Sanders getting more delegates in NY. Initial returns indicated Clinton netted 30 delegates in NY, but the way delegates are allotted, by congressional district, may result in Sanders getting more delegates, with the difference between being only 15 or less. Saw this here:

The +15 or less was simply ignorance on how NY allocation works.
