2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumBernie thinks he can dictate terms at the convention and to who Hillary
can pick for her VP which is an acknowledgment that he lost the primary yet his supporters are holding out the hope that Hillary goes to jail. Which is also an acknowledgment that Bernie lost since a Hillary perp walk is the only way he gets nominated.
A sad end to a revolution.

(7,321 posts)Regardless of the outcome next week, the significance of the Sanders support totals and percentages, which is a resounding NO vote against the Clintons (again), OWNS that much of the platform.
Right this minute, your candidate, DWS & Barney Frank are actually having Corporate Lobbyists WRITING the PLATFORM.
This IS what we've been fighting AGAINST in this campaign.
You think we're just going to quietly stand by while that happens singing KUMBAYA? Think again.

Feh! Both sides can play that perp walk/Fitzmas game. Bottom line? He lost. He needs to be gracious and a go-getter who backs the winner, or be forgotten.

(68,667 posts)then you are not the base...we will have to muddle through without you...since you apparently prefer Trump...your choices are Hillary and Trump...you don't pick Hillary by the process of elimination, you pick Trump. I have seen some say on this site that they" fear Hillary more". I have to wonder how many are Trump supporters...many have a great familiarity with right wing sites. It makes you think.
