Nevada Caucus is a joke. Sanders is within 500 votes but the clear loser.
IA Dems hide the caucus votes, NV Dems publish theirs?
Yes, unless I'm misinterpreting what I see on cable news.
Calling Clinton's Bluff, Sanders Reveals What His Paid Speeches Look Like
Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton said during a town hall on Thursday evening she will release transcripts of paid, closed-door speeches she gave to Wall Street firms "when everyone else does."
That may be sooner than she thinks.
On Friday morning, rival Bernie Sanders appeared to throw down the gauntlet by posting a video of one of the speeches he was paid to give in 2011—and how much he was paid for it.
Clinton's speaking fees—which have netted the former secretary of state millions in recent years—have come under scrutiny during the campaign, with Sanders and others suggesting they show she is too closely aligned with big banks.
Politico reported earlier this month that when she addressed Goldman Sachs executives and technology ans at a summit in Arizona in October of 2013,"she spoke glowingly of the work the bank was doing raising capital and helping create jobs, according to people who saw her remarks."
The New York Times reported in May 2015 that in the year prior, Sanders had collected $1,867.42 for three appearances, "a grand sum that is chump change in presidential politicking but enough for the senator to respectably donate the money to charity."

Hillary Clinton Beats Bernie Sanders in Nevada Caucuses

In fact, Hillz barely "beat" Bernie, escaping with a just handful more delegates than Bernie, when she was supposed to crush him everywhere.
etc, etc, etc.
Bernie Sanders Overtakes Hillary Clinton in 3 More States
According to recent polls in both Democratic strongholds and swing states, Bernie Sanders’ once insurgent campaign is snowballing into a serious movement.
In the critical swing state of Colorado, where Sanders once trailed Hillary Clinton by as much as 28 points prior to the Iowa caucus and New Hampshire primary, Sanders is now ahead of Clinton by 6 points. The new numbers were released today by the Washington Free Beacon, which also showed Sanders leading the former Secretary of State and First Lady among voters under 30 by a 46-point margin.
Furthermore, Sanders led with a 40-point advantage among women voters under 30. In Colorado, which has a significant Hispanic element in its Democratic electorate, Hispanics are supporting Sanders over Clinton by a margin of 41-38. Colorado Democrats will caucus on March 1.
Additional polls show Sanders’ campaign is swaying voters in early March primary states, as well. In Massachusetts, Sen. Sanders is leading Clinton by 7 points, according to a Public Policy Poll (PPP) conducted between February 14 and February 16.
This is a significant change from previous polls, which had Clinton leading Sanders in the Democratic stronghold state by a 25-point margin in a Boston Globe/Suffolk poll in November. An Emerson College poll in October had Clinton ahead by 34 points.
The same PPP poll that had Sanders ahead in Massachusetts also shows Bernie with an insurmountable 76-point lead in his home state of Vermont.
This all comes on the heels of the news of Sanders passing Clinton for the first time in a national poll yesterday, as a Fox News poll showed Sanders beating the Democratic frontrunner by 3 points. However, Bernie has some catching up to do in states with a predominantly-black Democratic voting bloc — Clinton is leading in 10 of the 12 early primary states surveyed by PPP.

VT is heavily FOR Bernie, while several red, slave states, having tasted the of Repug MISgovernance, don't even support their own Repug governors, like TX, LA, NJ, FL, WI.
Fair & serious question: What has Hillary done to deserve the African-American vote?Arrest photo of young activist Bernie Sanders emerges from Tribune
archives
A Chicago Tribune archival photo of a young man being arrested in 1963 at a South Side protest is Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders, his campaign has confirmed, bolstering the candidate's narrative about his civil rights activism.The black-and-white photo shows a 21-year-old Sanders, then a University of Chicago student, being taken by Chicago police toward a police wagon. An acetate negative of the photo was found in the Tribune's archives, said Marianne Mather, a Chicago Tribune photo editor.
"Bernie identified it himself," said Tad Devine, a senior adviser to the campaign, adding that Sanders looked at a digital image of the photo. "He looked at it — he actually has his student ID from the University of Chicago in his wallet — and he said, 'Yes, that indeed is (me).'"

Bernie's been givin' 'em for 50+ years!
Bill Clinton kissed a black baby on national tv in 1996
afaik, nothing as S. I think the black support for Hillary is a vestige of the black support for Bill, plus some black leaders/Congresspeople, establishment now, have announced support for Hillary.
Why Hillary Clinton Doesn’t Deserve the Black Vote
From the crime bill to welfare reform, policies Bill Clinton enacted—and Hillary Clinton supported—decimated black America.

And she is also running on Obama's legacy, and no objective observer can seriously say that the African-American community is much better off under Obama. If someone wants to make an argument to the contrary, then I will gladly listen.
ACA, with subsidized insurance and expansion of Medicaid, has helped Ms of poor blacks access health care.
If poor blacks aren't taking advantage of ACA, it's ain't Obama's fault.
Of course, most slave, red states have blocked expansion of Medicaid, so those "death panel" states are killing poor people, black, brown, white.
It took a Dem gov in LA to expand Medicaid, since juice-brains Jindal refused.
"I'll take 'what cucks look like' for 400, Alex"
Bernie's got more balls than you can even dream about"I'll take 'what cucks look like' for 400, Alex"
i never dream about balls, so that's probably accurate
It doesn't matter how many people have Medicaid if doctors aren't gonna see those patients. Medicaid doesn't reimburse much, don't pay for a lot of necessary procedures, and doesn't cover many prescriptions. That makes those patients very hard to treat and a lot of doctors don't want to deal with the headache that medicaid brings.
5 Reasons You Should Not Vote for Bernie Sanders
#5. You Think Rich People Don’t Have it Quite Easy Enough in This Country
It’s no big secret that Bernie plans to pay for his proposals in large part by raising taxes. One area he plans on raising taxes is on capital gains taxes, which would certainly impact the wealthier families in this country more so than the middle class. The investor class is worried though, that if you raise their taxes they might not be able to afford that second or third home they had their eye on. If we go and ask them for a few more pennies on their dollar, they might just decide to up and leave this country, because that’s what patriots do when their fellow citizens ask them to pay a little more in taxes (that they can totally afford) — they abandon them.
If you know that rich people are the most important people in America, you won’t vote for Senator Sanders.
#4. You Think Education is for Pussies and Liberals
A big part of Senator Sanders’ plan for America involves making education “free” for students up to their first couple years of Junior College. But why on Earth would we invest in smarter people? Who needs education when you can just go slave away working four or five minimum wage jobs. Then, and only then, can you go to college. I mean, good luck finding the time and money to scrape together to afford it, but hey, it’s better than expecting to get a good education so you can support yourself, you hippie!
#3. You Think Corporations Have It Too Easy and Aren’t Making Enough Money Yet
One of the biggest ways Bernie is proposing to pay for his proposals is to close loopholes on corporate taxes. Conservatives will remind us though, that taxes here in America are high, even though we know a whole -ton of super-profitable companies are in fact not paying any taxes. In fact, in 2014 we know that at least 15 of the Fortune 500 companies paid zero taxes, but do you really think that means they’re not paying their fair share in taxes, just because they’re literally not paying any taxes? What kind of lib are you? Life in America will never be great until corporations and the One Percent own every single dollar out there, and if you vote for Bernie, you’re basically saying you want those 15 companies to pay taxes, you cold hearted jerk!
#2. You’re All Like, “War? That’s Totes Dope Rad!”
A vote for Sanders is a vote for a guy who was right about the Iraq War invasion. Now, ask yourself, do you really want someone in charge of our troops if they aren’t willing to put them in harm’s way for profit? Is that really American? Does that really display our values — showing prudence and caution when discussing military options? Diplomacy is great and all, but if you vote for Bernie, you might be voting for a guy who won’t start wars of choice! What in the will our military do with itself? Like, help people instead of blowing them up? Pfffft.
#1. You’ve Never Been Outside This Country So You’re Sure Democratic Socialism Could Never Work
If you’re like a lot of Americans, you’ve never set foot in a Democratically Socialist country. So that’s why you know it won’t work; your politicians and pundits have told you so. I mean, look at those damn socialists in Great Britain! They’re always on the brink of collapse. Ditto Germany. Oh, and that other country with those Democratically Socialist programs like Social Security, Medicare, and the largest military in the world paid for by the taxpayers entirely…what’s the name of it again, the Shmunited Shmates of Shmumerica or something? Anyway, socialism is bad because you know it’s bad, and no amount of facts, evidence, or historical data will sway you, because you’re smart and discerning!

Single Payer System Cost?
http://www.pnhp.org/facts/single-payer-system-cost
boots why is the democrat base voting for shillary if its against their best interest? i thought thats only what dumb repug voters did?
I don't think Bernie's proposals make sense. We can't have nice stuff like Europe since we have no sugar daddy to subsidize our military costs the way we do for Europe.
But he's still 100x better than Cunton.
tax cuts, tax avoidance, tax evasion cost govt revenues $Ts more than $1T/year on maintaining USA' predatory, planetary mililtary/commercial empire.
We The People can have a social democracy, aka "government of the people, by the people, for the people",
by rolling back tax cuts,
enabling IRS to pursue US tax avoiders all over the planet,
make BigCrop and 1% pay their share, and
instead of skimming employees salaries to send to BigInsurance, skim LESS from the salaries to send to the Medicare for All treasury.
iow, kill the rigging of the economy.
