Bernie Sanders

[DMX7]

He just won in a landslide and fought Hillary to a draw in the first two states where votes are counted... like I said, an uphill battle still, but making the inroads he has? Far from impossible.

these are small states though... very small

Even so, he is still losing the delegate count... how sad is that?

[CosmicCowboy]

LOL editing your post. I have read his entire plan, and every page of his website, and watched dozens of his speeches. You're WAY behind the curve, old man.

after all that you still claim he won't raise taxes on the middle class?

[FuzzyLumpkins]

This is almost a flashback to the 60's - 80's where except for Clinton, Democrats time after time nominated unelectable liberals in the primaries.

If it was your generation and the WW2 generation like then you might have a point. The millennials are going to be even more powerful this election and they like that . Meanwhile your generation is dying off.

Carter and Kennedy won. I don't see Dukakis comparison and I see no REagan. Really the only comparable person to Sanders is McGovern but if you think Nixon would win in this electorate then we will just have to wait and see. Millennials remain very active though.

I never said he wouldn't. Just not the stupidly hyperbolic levels you're suggesting.

You going to acknowledge the trade off for the payroll and 2% tax in insurance premiums?

If Bernie doesn't get the nomination, I'm voting for the Donald. Either one would be better than Hillary the Two Faced Lying cunt and ______ establishment jesus .

Compare and contrast to how he was predicted to do even 2 months ago.

Sad? It's actually amazing it's even a close race at all. Have you been keeping up with the Democratic side of the race?

the super delegates for HRC are Bernie's huge hurdle. I can't see how he overcomes that even if he wins all the primaries. system is rigged, but that's US corrupted democracy.

If he starts winning more states, they'll shift.

he has support of only 2 Dems in the entire Congress, etc, etc.

Even in defeat, he will play the Obi Wan Kenobi role. 80%+ of people under 30 despise Hillary and the establishment, and the numbers aren;t much better for under-45.

This is so unfair. It subverts the will of the people - whatever happened to democracy. Do the repubs do this too?

Citizens United and decades of the ultra-elite gradually buying into government.

I've been telling you people, see the Princeton study I've referenced. Voter preferences have infinitesimal influence on legislation. Donors have all the influence.

Voters are effectively disenfranchised.

No.

[FuzzyLumpkins]

No.

The executive council of the DNC is elected by the delegates. The executive council of the GOP has several positions that are unelected such as Ailes and Priebus. Further the GOP uses superdelegates as well so you should change that to a yes.

[z0sa]

No.

Republicans can possibly use superdelegates, but unlike the DNC, they can't vote differently than what the vote tally was in their respective states. The DNC version is a total sham, while the Republican one, slightly less so.

From the RNC in your link:

rules obligate those RNC members to vote according to the result of primary elections held in their states.

There is a significant difference between the Democrat and Republican parties in terms of Superdelegates - and officially, the Republicans don't have any, and certainly no candidate has any of them pledged to them - whereas Clinton has something like 350 already in her pocket.

I'm part of the 70% of people under 30 who prefer Sanders, but I'm telling you, the deck is stacked against him. He isn't going to win. I hope I'm wrong.

Fair enough. I thought they had gotten rid of all that electoral college nonsense in the 1970s.

At the same time the kingmakers in the GOP are not elected. Priebus and Ailes are never going to lose their posts.

Well, shouldn't you dems be protesting in the street over that? All these millenniums are gonna be surprised when Bernie seems like he's winning and he doesn't.
