    From the first link -


    That appears to be spot on after the last nomination ....

    The Dems are really putting themselves behind the 8 ball in this nomination process.

    In one corner you have the establishment who hates Bernie and in the other corner you have Bernie voters who wont support any other candidate.

    Trump's going to be hard to beat , he has his base of 35-40% that support him if he shoots someone on 5th avenue .... while the Dems are infighting.

    An article by Jonathan Turley.... yeah that sounds like objective journalism.

    Read about the story that broke yesterday a bit closer. It says about a dozen members of the DNC... a dozen out of 445 members. Of course we know there are some in the party that still are on the Citizens United gravy train. I think this article was put out there because they knew the Bernie bro’s would overreact and there would be party infighting.

    However Tom Perez himself said himself that this is not happening and we have reason to believe him. Any idiot with half a brain knows the Dem party cannot win if Bernies base turns against the party and votes either with Trump, 3rd party, or stays home. The DNC will hug Bernie all the way to the finish line either way because they have to.

    If they legitimately rig the votes to snub Bernie than they are idiots handing the presidency back to Trump. If Bernie wins everyone should get behind him and if he wins work to build his support with moderate voters that these folks are scared we’ll lose.

    Or maybe they didn't release the initial vote totals because, you know, they've never released them. But hey, yeah, it must be a Sanders consipiracy.

    Why do people think these twitter feeds are remotely credible news sources? Or why you do you think re-posting dumb twitter feeds does anything but destroy your own credibility?

    Another good poll for Bernie in Iowa. If Bernie can win Iowa and NH, this race will get very interesting.

    Hillary had almost 4 million more votes than Bernie. Bernie is just a sore loser. She is right he has done pretty much nothing in congress. I think the only thing I am fan of is medicare for all.

    Anyone but Trump is how I feel. Whoever wins, everyone needs to get behind him (or her) and actually vote.

    Sanders within 5 % in the latest SC poll, within 2% in the latest Texas poll, within 1% in the latest Nevada poll.

    On top of being + 7 in both the latest Iowa/NH polls, and + 14 in the latest California poll.

    I never thought he'd poll this close in Texas/SC, will be interesting to see if those were flukes or if Bernie is really trending up in the south.

    Sanders for the president is just funny as Trump as the current president. Why can we have a qualified person as a president?

    Lmao

    Trump literally had zero experience in any type of governance work.

    Bernie has been either a mayor, a congressman or in the senate for a total of nearly 40 years.

    Fracking needs to be incredibly more regulated than it is currently (the current practices are basically unsupervised/unregulated), but talking about a ban is just a losing proposition for someone who wants to effect actual change.

    I say this as someone who makes money off of this.

    What is your definition of "qualified"?

    "Agree with my politics"?

    40 rallies.

    Bernie Sanders attended and spoke at 40 Hillary rallies begging people to vote for her

    Shut the **** up with this stupid ass narrative.

    Somehow I doubt Hillary, being the vindictive ******* she is, would do the same for Bernie if he won.
