Bernie Sanders for President

Disagree. While it is likely Hillary will get the nomination, Obama is likely urging donors to get behind her now only because she is so flawed as a candidate. If she wasn't his involvement wouldn't be necessary. Sanders should stay in and give voters unhappy with the DNC's installation of Clinton an alternative.PJfanwillneverleave1 said:___________________________________________

Wow, so the centrist in liberal clothing who filled his cabinet with Wall Street bankers and lawyers and abandoned his progressive principles tells the big money elite to unite behind their bought-and-paid-for shill, and that means Bernie should give up? Hahaha, keep drinking the Kool-Aid.PJfanwillneverleave1 said:

I like Obama alright- he did a good job in terms of working within an old dying system- but I'm not at all swayed by him throwing support to a potential Hillary candidacy that would simply perpetuate that corporate driven system. It's time to step up to bigger changes. Bernie is the closest we've got. I just wish he were more biocentric (but then, most people don't even know what that means).BrokenGlass said:

1. this post is like a yahoo headline ... content not matching
2. in the cnn video - it had phoeniz - not sure how a major "news" channel could have let that happen0 -
Yeah Bernie! Won Idaho and Iowa By huge margins!0

As long as Bernie doesn't attack Hillary, his presence helps Hillary. It keeps her in the news with free airtime. I think the Clinton campaign is okay with him staying in for a while longer. You don't want to cede the airwaves to Trump and Cruz until the conventions.0

Check out this article, "Bernie Sanders Is Currently Winning the Democratic Primary Race, and I’ll Prove It to You". Bernie is doing fine!

Great article, Brian!!
this quote struck me...
Consider: in North Carolina, Hillary Clinton only won Election Day voting 52% to 48%. Given the shenanigans in evidence during the live voting there — thousands of college students were turned away from the polls due to insufficient identification under a new voter-suppression statute in the state — it wouldn’t be unfair to call that 4-point race more like a 2-point one (51% to 49% for Clinton).
My ex wife had a problem voting in her new county precinct. they made her cast a provisional ballot and tried to discourage her from doing that. "she is a registered independent" that was voting in a historically Republican district. Our governor needs to be tarred and feathered and thrown out of office. Bernie absolutely destroyed Hillary in my part of the state.livefootsteps.org/user/?usr=446

Bernie run is exposing American democracy as the total fraud it is.0

He's not doing fine because he's in a dramatic hole that he needs to win ~60% of the delegates moving forward to overtake her. One of the main points of this article is that early voting doesn't matter. But it does. Voting takes place within a window of time, not just election day. It's a feel good piece, and I commend him for writing something as an avid supporter, but at the end of the day, it doesn't change the current state.brianlux said:Check out this article, "Bernie Sanders Is Currently Winning the Democratic Primary Race, and I’ll Prove It to You".

OK, I grant that "fine" is relative and possibly not the best choice of words, but Bernie certainly is doing better that many here and especially the media give him credit. My point is to balance out some of that negativity toward the Sanders campaign that is generated that way. Bernie detractors want us to throw in the towel early. No way!mrussel1 said:

Does he even have a path to the nomination? Just curious, is he staying in just to keep his issue in the media?I have certain rules I live by ... My First Rule ... I don't believe anything the government tells me ... George Carlin
