The person talking to Tapper: "For the last several months, the Clinton campaign has been first ignoring Bernie Sanders, then dismissing him. Now they are going to go headlong into him..."


Gandhi: "First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win."

Especially the part about unity the party later.

They are truly pissed that the Inevitability theme just isn't working, and she's having to actually campaign. Oh, the horror!

My guess is that their internal polling already shows him within a couple of points of her, and his record of simply moving ahead is terrifying them.

After all, in Wisconsin he was anywhere from 39 to 53 points behind her back last year, and even a few weeks ago she was still polling ahead of him. And he's currently 13 points ahead of her in the actual voting.

And all she ever does is hold high-dollar fund-raisers, which really isn't a very effective way to reach out to the people you want voting for you. Plus, he keeps on raising very large sums of money, mostly from people who donate relatively small amounts. Yeah, they must be essentially shitting in their pants at this point.

He has the young people and the Progressives behind him, and there will be no future for the Democratic Party without them.

Many of us feel abandoned by the Clintonites and their economic and war policies.

We have been badly treated during the Obama years as well as during the Clinton years.

If Bernie is badly treated, the Party will split. The future is with Bernie, not with Hillary.

Winner of this goes to the Super Bowl. Game time.

We have a quarterback to protect.

The offensive line needs to defend the onslaught that coming. Be ready for anything.

vermin? a plague?
what are they? colonizers? warhawks? paranoid? scaredy?

the winds can change the direction aimed for scorching! may it be so!

they, the billaryites, must stop and think how much they are taking for "granted" and consider they are in danger of incinerating the democrat party for the queen's crown.

the use of the strategy "scorched earth" tells us so much about who is leading the billary campaign.
