Sanders pulling a Trump

[CajunBlazer]

At a rally in WV (his best bet for a win after tonight) blaming the process, closed primaries etc. Pointing out that he was screwed in NY because the independents couldn't vote for him.

He also continues to (disingenuously) point out that he would beat Donald Trump by bigger margins than Hillary. Disingenuously because he knows damn well that that if the Republicans decided that he was a real threat, they would grind him to dust.

At least in the short segment CNN showed, Sanders was not yet personally attacking Clinton as he has been lately.

EDIT: I have to admit that one of the many reasons why I want Hillary to win badly is not one about which I am particularly proud. Bernie Sanders has so irritated me lately that if he were to be the nominee, I don't think I could vote for him.

1. The true BS comes out

[George II]

17. I think that came out a month or two ago.

2. i just mentioned that on another thread.

i don't feel sorry for independents. if you want to vote you register.

as a lifelong democrat i have a hard time understanding "independents" -- those people who say "i vote for the person -- not the party". there are big differences between the 2 parties -- educate yourself.

6. Exactly.

Why should people who don't think much of Democrats vote in the Democratic primary?

(Or hang out on Democratic Underground, for that matter?)

It's the same old idea of making change by standing on the outside, rapping at the window and yelling.

18. Weird how being "Independent" gives people such a false sense of superiority

Too many people think being Independent means you are somehow nobler, above partisan scrabbling.

Being neutral in the face of the horrorshow that is the Republican Party isn't noble--it's just a sign of the lazy thinking of a wannabee nonconformist rebel.

[DesertFlower]

24. i don't know what they think. i

personally think they're not too smart.

can't imagine ever voting for a republican.

3. Disingenuous -- I said the SAME THING!!!

He HAS to know the RNC hasn't touched him, and he has to know why.

That or he's dense.

[mcar]

4. He was barely coherent

[riversedge]

5. Bernie's despiration is showing more and more as the days go by.

[NanceGreggs]

7. Not only is the man clueless ...

... I've yet to see him take responsibility for anything. Everything is someone else's fault - low-info "Confederate state" voters, poor people who "don't vote", media "blackouts", etc.

I guarantee you this man has never in his life admitted he was wrong about anything, or is even remotely responsible for anything that doesn't go his way.

9. and it seems

his wife placates and enables him.

[NanceGreggs]

13. I've known men like Bernie ...

... and I've known their wives. They invariably attract women who enable their behaviour, who see their man as infallible and without fault.

I got the same vibe from Anne Romney as I do from Jane - extremely defensive of their "always right" husbands, to the point of actually being astounded that others do not see their men in the same light they do.

I'd bet my life on the fact that Jane has never questioned Bernie's decisions, actions, or words - ever. What he says goes, and every discussion ends right there.

[mercuryblues]

19. You hit it

I was wondering why she rubbed me the wrong way. Her public persona is exactly like Cruz's and Romney's wife.

[NanceGreggs]

21. And add Paul Ryan's wife.

She always looked so cowed, and terrified of saying the wrong thing.

[KewlKat]

12. don't forget the Clinton camp knocked them off of Facebook...........

talk about CT

[NanceGreggs]

14. OMG, I'm still laughing about that one!

I wonder if there will be posts later tonight about how those FB pages going down resulted in Bernie's losses across the board.

[KewlKat]

16. ha

[NanceGreggs]

20. "Ya know, like once I saw those FB pages gone ...

... I figured Bernie was out of the race, so I didn't bother to vote."

[KewlKat]

23. if it were only

that simple..................

[CajunBlazer]

8. For those who didn't see my edit

I have to admit that one of the many reasons why I want Hillary to win badly is not one about which I am particularly proud. Bernie Sanders has so irritated me so much lately that if he were to be the nominee, I don't think I could vote for him.

[NanceGreggs]

15. I hear ya. n/t

[UtahLib]

10. The incredible shrinking man. eom

[still_one]

11. I want DEMOCRATS deciding the Democratic nominee, not republicans or other non-Democrats

That is what closed primaries are about.

[George II]

22. One of these days he'll be whining because they let people vote for Clinton. IT'S RIGGED!!!
