Hillary Clinton Is Alone at the Top of Democratic 2016 Hill Endorsements
Members say they've heard little from Bernie Sanders and Martin O’Malley, even as Clinton has gotten nods from their home states.
June 2, 2015 Hillary Clinton has racked up a slew of congressional endorsements in her presidential bid. Her rivals either can't compete on the Hill or are only doing so quietly.
Clinton's endorsement tally already stands at triple digits—nearly half of all sitting Democrats. But lawmakers say they've heard little outreach from Bernie Sanders and Martin O'Malley, Clinton's underdog rivals to lead Democrats' 2016 ticket.
Even the group that provides the underdogs' best chance at winning allies says the phone has stayed firmly on the hook: Both Sanders and O'Malley are running to Clinton's left, but the Congressional Progressive Caucus says it has heard no calls for support from either candidate. Instead, caucus cochair Raul Grijalva said last year that he was happy so support Hillary Clinton (his office has said that's not an official endorsement) and fellow liberals like Reps. Rosa DeLauro and Jan Schakowsky have endorsed the front-runner as well.

Impressive!
Never underestimate their power.
Bernie is reaching straight out to the voters. I approve of this.
Then the 87% approval she had from the black community didn't matter because it was "too early" and it's only because black people know who she is, not because they support her.
And the massive approval she's gotten from regular Dems didn't matter because the population is so "ignorant" and doesn't know anything, unless they are Sanders supporters of course, upon which time the supporters immediately become principled and wise warriors of justice.
So now, endorsements from Congress don't matter because Congress is so unpopular.
So black people don't matter, Congress doesn't matter and Democrats don't matter. Is there anybody left?
And I say this as someone who is not even a Clinton supporter but who is just BLOWN AWAY by the "quality" of the folks here supporting Sanders and their arguments. This shit and these people can simply not be for real.
Clueless Democrats don't matter. Informed Democrats don't matter.
So who does matter?????
Sanders is speaking "directly" to The People, say his "supporters" on this web site. But when The People say, "Mr. Sanders we'd like you to address issues that affect minorities more", these same "supporters" accuse The People of being divisive. 
His folks here say that he's speaking directly to the people, but when poll after poll after poll after poll shows Hillary wiping the floor with him, these same folks say that it's because the "people" don't know anything or are being led by propaganda.
And who knows more about the dishonesty, corruption, ins and outs, goods and bads of politics than members of Congress? The earlier complaint was that the people "don't know" about Sanders, but now when faced with a group of people who know politics better than anyone and who are endorsing Hillary by the truckload, the goal posts shift again and now it's "who cares because Congress is unpopular."
And people wonder why I just keep insisting that these people simply CANNOT be for real?
... loud and clear!
