I wouldn't have said that if I were you, Hillary. You've got too many skeletons that could come tumbling out of the closet over the next few weeks.... and with a statement like that, it's like you're asking for them to come out.

(14,274 posts)He wants to supers to ignore the will of the voters and crown him as he claims that Hillary is the "lesser of two evils". I've pretty much lost all respect for the guy after the shit he's pulled this election.
What's amazing is his claims that others are cheating after his campaign is busted stealing data, his calling civil rights leaders and anyone who doesn't endorse him "establishment", his dismissal of social issues and peddling fantasies to millenials. The cognitive dissonance wrapped up in the "revolution" is really something else.

(8,311 posts)I don't feel the need to trash the person I gather from your post is your favored Candidate. But there is no politician, or person, who is perfect.
I would be happy with either of our candidates as the nominee, even if I had my preference and voted it in March. I don't want to see Californians and people in other states told their votes don't matter, though. They do -- even if Hillary does get more pledged delegates, each vote is a voice for the direction Democrats want the Party to go. That is perhaps even more important than merely who js at the top of the ticket.
I have a feeling that Hillary will be the last Democratic candidate nominated that is so far right of many of the loudest voices in the Party, and even if she wins, does well instead of actually letting the money she has received influence her more than it should, and gets re-elected.... by 2024 the electorate will be very different. We will have had time to hopefully develop better candidates.
But whatever happens, I refuse to do anything, or by my inaction allow anything, to let our eventual nominee be defeated by a tangerine reality TV star who on bad hair days looks suspiciously like a troll doll and is appealing to the same people who troll comments sections in articles about the recent Zimmerman gun sale.
That's just me, though.

Yeah, that must be it
I get the feeling a lot of DUers are in their 20's and the Clinton's are just something they remember from a history book.

(4,465 posts)Some seem to be clueless about her lifelong decades efforts to work for people. Amazes me some of the things they say, as if she just popped into the world when they became aware.
RobertEarl
(13,685 posts)Acting like the people of California are not important. And just demanding the FBI not do its job. She must think she is something special.
Gawd forbid she ever gets another government job. The message would be look at all the crap one can do and still rake in the dough via government employment!
Does she think because she is a woman she can get away with it?
apcalc
(4,465 posts)YOU are interjecting that.

(12,504 posts)Are trying to make the assertion that Bernie has never uttered those words?
Every single candidate engages in politiking, and makes those types of positive affirmations...every single one of them.
Your OP IS COMPLETELY RIDICULOUS.

(1,134 posts)An offensive & disrespectful statement on the face of it. Goes much further than "I'm going to win."

(12,504 posts)"And I'm better than Hillary"
You are simply parsing words, and in your hatred, ACA to see that your candidate is doing the very same thing. Hypocrit.
tirebiter
(2,538 posts)This lead in seems to indicate that you believe Sanders can't win on his own merits.
I don't think that's a good guess of the poster's intentions.
grasswire
(50,130 posts)They are trying to frame her as the winner in the minds of the American people -- establish it firmly. Bush's henchmen did exactly the same thing to establish himself as the president elect.
That's partly to make it harder to indict her. And partly to discourage California.
reddread
(6,896 posts)where she will hide behind an expanded Nixonian ethos that whatever she did, she is now the inevitable one and above the law.
in fact, that appears to be the sole decision being made by the Democratic Primary process and those directing it.
Above the law.
Above reproach.
Above disclosure.
did someone order a new world?
a big accomplishment for global capital.

(6,007 posts)I am very concerned about the next president. And according to your history and your current polling, you may be get the nomination, but you won't get the presidency.
I want Bernie to be the nominee so I can be SURE to get a Democratic President.
