    I doubt Bernie would go through this long slog of a primary only to turn around and run as an independent.

    To turn and run is to quit and he said already he's not quitting. He's got too much momentum.
    Admitting defeat when the time comes isn't quitting.

    There isn't any reason to go through a Democratic primary if you are going to run as an independent. Also kind of a slap in the face to the large numbers of Democrats who have supported him.

    I don't see Bernie doing that.

    Did these protestors chant "Bernie Sanders" in the venue after shutting down a political opponent's right to free speech? Did the voters in five states look at that and see a glimpse of what the "revolution" may look like? Did those same voters completely reject the Sanders candidacy just four days later?

    This was a bad episode in the long slog of the Bernie Sanders campaign. While it may turn out Michigan was the high water mark, Chicago may be remembered as the beginning of the end.

    Like I said haters going to hate. This is pure bullshit what you write above.
    Pure bullshit. OK.
    Not only is it bullshit but I have proving you're wrong for weeks about the election and you just keep coming back for more with more hate and more disinformation. It's redundant now I'm done.

    Yep, pure bullshit. Got it.

    What part is disinformation?

    What part is hate?

    I voted for Bernie. That doesn't mean I am incapable of being honest about the state of his campaign.

    What is there to talk about.
    It's true. After the impressive numbers he has if he doesn't get the nod people will riot in protest of a rigged system.

    I think the conversation in this thread regarding Chicago will quickly morph into a discussion of the next incident. And the next one. And the one after that.

    This thread is morphing into all kinds of trump incidents.

    It's over if grabbing the nomination is the goal. If the goal is being a protest candidate, then yeah he's got the resources to keep going. But the BS that the campaign is spinning is just that. BS. I asked before what the strategic path is going forward. There isn't an one that passes an analytical test.

    We have so many Trump threads. As much as it pains me to say it (and it really, REALLY pains me to say it) in this one he is kind of the victim. The protestors are the story here.

    Lol. 0 for 5 on Tuesday is an interesting way to describe momentum. I suppose it is, but probably not the kind that gets him the nomination. He definitely unperformed on that day and the results were below expectations. He likely won't run as an independent, and I'm sure he'll stay in through the convention hoping that Hillary implodes, but he isn't going to "win" the delegate race head-to-head with Hillary. That part of the race is over.

    So many haters on these forums... Rather then discuss things with an open mind, they just hate this, just hate that.

    Free - disagreeing with someone is not synonymous with 'hating'. I know that's how it is in the pop culture today, but in the real world, it's disagreements. If someone calls you an idiot, stupid, asshole, etc. for your beliefs, well that's hating. But saying that Bernie doesn't have momentum, or that he doesn't have a real path forward is somewhere between opinion or sober analysis.

    Hating on one person or another - especially Bernie - seems to be the norm around here.

    We all have choices and when you choose to just hate someone rather than look up their website and see what it's all about? Find out information for yourself? It's a drag to be around people like that.

    What is your definition of 'hating'? Because no one hear has disparaged Bernie as a person or a Senator that I've seen. Certainly not recently in the last few pages.

    Some of the drumpf supporters have been haters....

    "Bernie flakes"
    "Old goat "

    Etc

    Saying he doesnt have a realistic or mathematical chance is not hating.

    Agreed on both posts! And even coming across one or two or three who may be perceived as hateful doesn't, to me, equate to "so many".

    There is a pile of support for Bernie in this forum. Now take a gander through these threads about Trump and Cruz, a lot more dislike there....justifiably I might add.

    Personally I would love for Bernie to win but put me in the camp that doesn't think it's gonna happen. The math is no longer there...but I still want him to stay in the contest to keep dragging Clinton to the left.

    Sorry Free but this is starting to sound like sour grapes, you're gonna have to develop a thicker skin if you want to stick around here and enjoy it.

    Right. I know a couple of posters here have disparaged Bernie, but some of us are being lumped into the "hater" group I guess because we're non-believers. It is some sort of cult-like enthusiasm (and perhaps naivete) that has a few Bernie supporters completely unwilling to look at analysis, polls, and dialog. Leading up to this past Tuesday I kept seeing posts making fun of polls as if they have no validity, when in reality Bernie only defied the polls in 1 case on Super Tuesday in MI. Otherwise, they've been pretty good indicators. They may get the spread wrong, but have generally painted a pretty rational picture. I've even said that I think Bernie will stay in through the convention because he may become the nominee by default if Hillary implodes. But saying that Bernie does not win the nomination going head-to-head against Hillary without something blowing up in Hillary's camp is not hating. Saying Bernie went 0 for 5 on Tuesday is not hating.
