(587 posts)"I hope we elect him" is like "I hope we elect O'Malley".
It's over, grover. Sanders is done.
The general election is going to be between Hillary and Trump, and Hillary will win.
People will squeal like stuck pigs and proclaim the end of the USA.
Just like they did when Obama was elected.
Just like they did when GW Bush was elected.
Just like they did when B. Clinton was elected.
And the reality is that not much will change. There won't even be much difference between a Bernie vs Hillary vs Trump presidency, because the President's powers are limited. NONE of the stuff Bernie is promising could ever happen. He is already out of the race, but if he was viable, his Presidency would be one term and would be regarded as one of the worst and most ineffective in history.
Luckily the voters mostly know this.
Which is why they have said "NO!" to his candidacy, his policies and his politics.
That's just reality.

I have an Old English Proverb for you...
"There's many a slip twixt cup and lip"
Here, read up on it...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/There's_many_a_slip_'twixt_the_cup_and_the_lip
and this quote From Hamlet also applies:
"The lady doth protest too much, methinks"
If it was all so clear, Why has your candidate not sown it up already without needing to use SD's to make her case?
Why need paid shills from a super pac to flood the internet with noise?
"The lady doth protest too much, methinks"

We're used to y'all trying to discourage us. Doesn't work.
And please don't ever underestimate the will of the people.

It's not up to me to do the computations. It's up to me to help him any way I can and he's staying in right up to the convention, and who knows after that?
I promote good and fight evil. That's enough for me.
If Bernie has no path, if Hill already has the nom, why you guys so ...

(10,170 posts)Of the moment!
It is the Question of the day, If Bernie is so blank blank blank( version of unimportant, not in the race)
Why are Hill" s people so Jittery, Loud and being paid to post scripted inanities on the internet.
The Only Answer I can come up with is the Problem lies with the candidate, Herself. She is Jittery and Nervous, Perhaps over her FBI investigation or her tanking poll numbers, or how poorly her match ups against Trump are doing.

(49,389 posts)You haven't forgotten the administration that was reponsible for the amazing prosperity of the 90's?
And I'm not talking about the maple syrup boom.

(9,688 posts)not just that they get some place "prosperous".
War profiteering sucks.
We've seen hundreds of thousands killed, year after year, in the US led ME wars.
The whole US economy is geared toward war, preparing for war and waging war.
Yes, it profits some, so some are made prosperous, but it still has to stop.
There has to be another way and Hillary Clinton hasn't a clue about that. Not a clue.
