you don't want to be on it!

It's annoying how much right wing extremist crap on Hillary gets gleefully reposted here on DU.

Someone posts that the reason a Senator supports Hillary is out of "fear" and yet downthread, Sanders supporters are whining about the "gloating" from the Hillary camp.

Surreal. What this place is.

afraid? Is that the latest conspiracy theory?

If you think that they don't hold grudges, talk to Bill Richardson and Claire McCaskill.

If you cross team Hillary, you'd better be damn sure that the person that you do endorse, wins.

Are they dead? What exactly happens if you "cross team Hillary"? Do tell. You seem to be accusing a lot of good democratic

leaders of cowardice,including some who have faced true real enemies if their lifetime.

But Joe Biden's son recently died of cancer. Hmmm

It's basically an accusation of cowardice. I wonder if this Hillary supporter is afraid:








or this Hillary supporter:

But the hate is so thick they can only come up with insane reasons why so many like and support Hillary.

Sad to see yet another RW trope trotted out here. Your post should put it to rest.

it is just smart vs. dumb politics.

Bill and Claire made the right call in 2008......but there was great offense taken by Team Hillary.

Bernie won't hold it against anyone. Bill and Hillary sure as hell will.

"enemies list". It's absolute bullshit and it's insulting as hell.

If they were interested in truth and facts, they wouldn't be backing that person.

However, it is always good to have the facts out there. So thanks!

Facts don't matter with them so much as backing the person they perceive to be a "winner".

Any Democrat who would endorse an Independent especially against HRC (add DWS) would likely suffer largely. I certainly will never hold their endorsements against them. I think a large part of the public does not even know what an endorsement really is. It seems to matter here some but actually, do any of us choose our candidate on endorsements unless we simply cannot make a choice?

It is more than just using their mailing list and donors for the candidate.

There are 747 superdelegates.

It is unlikely that they will swing the primary, but they could.

For now.

and really talks it up with the other people on there. It surprises me when I've seen him on there.

Of elected officials, money talks (dark money talks very loudly) and poor people walk.
At the end of the day, all most politicians care about is money and getting re-elected, Bernie is rocking the boat. Bernie is not "business as usual".
Its hard to want to change the way government is working. All the perks and influence money can buy. Its easy to support and be friends with a Senator Sanders, one senator among many from a small state and limited audience. A very different situation with a president Sanders and a national audience (read: bully pulpit).
He might actually be able to do some of those things he talks about. Change is hard. Doing the right thing for the American people is hard.

He's one of the best liberal Senators we have, a true public servant. He fights for what's right.

There is nothing at all in his record that suggests all he cares about is money and getting re-elected.

It is no slight against Sherrod Brown, as I stated "change is hard".
Make no mistake, this election is about "status quo" vs "change". It is about your willingness to accept that 51% of Americans live on less than $30,000 a year and so what or want to Make that better. (https://www.ssa.gov/cgi-bin/netcomp.cgi?year=2014)
That .08% (yes, point zero eight percent) own 53% of all wages earned in 2014 or you want to make it better. (https://www.ssa.gov/cgi-bin/netcomp.cgi?year=2014)
That student loan debt is second only to home mortgage debt or you want to make it better. (http://mobile.nytimes.com/2015/03/22/upshot/were-frighteningly-in-the-dark-about-student-debt.html?referer=&_r=0)
Not just talk about it as the progressive moderate-centerist who doesn't want to be like Denmark (cause 'Merica).

The derision, gloating, and baiting by Hillary supporters is what I'll remember most on Nov. 8th.

I wish the entire country could read what they say; she'd sink like a rock.

Hillary supporters on DU are making it increasingly difficult for me to even consider voting for her.

I agree with the person who mused (Thom Hartmann, I believe) no politician wants to be on the wrong side of the Clintons...should she win the nomination and the GE. (Paraphrased)

I can see that. It's always about politics....the end game-IMO.

and John Lewis.

the word Uncourageous? Or imply this is anything But politics as usual?

I just checked http://unskewedendorsements.com

It is as if the backroom deals happened before the primary and convention... not during.

It feels like Clinton has been the odds on favorite since 2004 when she was outpolling those in the race even when she wasn't.

For many she is a safe bet and a throwback to the Clinton years. I can't blame them but it all seems very boring and same ol' same ol'.

Bernie still is representing what the party needs to hear even if they don't want to take their medicine.... yet.

Based on posts around this website, if a politician endorses Hillary, they don't really mean it, and they're only doing so because they are afraid of some sort of retaliation. By default, all endorsements for Hillary are void.

But if a politician of similar stature endorses Bernie, then it actually means something. Got it!

(Actually, the more I think about it, the more I kinda like the notion that people fear Hillary's political prowess.)

I tend to doubt that he and Sanders were bffs

Keep this KICKED!

There are reward punishment scenarios.
