These are some of the words Hillary Clintons supporters at her rallies this week in California had for Bernie Sanders as he escalates his fight for a Democratic presidential nomination that is, mathematically, virtually out of reach for him.
The acrimony over the Vermont senator's defiance is reaching a fever pitch as Clinton, the all-but-certain nominee, tries to move on to the general election against presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump, only to be painted by her competitor as a puppet of Wall Street who wouldnt fix Americas problems.
The raw emotions show the intensity of a fight that Sanders, 74, continued while barnstorming California ahead of a June 7 primary flush with 548 delegates, over half of the Democratic delegates still on offer.

(7,417 posts)the more desperate they become the more personal are their attacks. What is coming in the next week? I imagine they have been holding up the "good" stuff for then.

(22,149 posts)A snip from Jane sticks in my mind, about how when Bernie hears the sound from the dryer that its done, he jumps up to go finish laundry. Now........can you see either Hillary or Trump doing anything close? Does that sound like a guy whose ego is out of control?
