I figured it out

Every state that Hillary wins, she will be a cheater and bernie will be the true winner, even if she wins said state by 80%. Any state that bernie wins, will be a true win and Hillary will be the loser. Did I miss anything?

they actually believe the illusion. It's painful to watch but, at the same time, fascinating. Sometimes it's relatively harmless (Sarah Palin). Some cases are disastrous (Adolph Hitler). But their followers are always completely blinded to reality if it doesn't reinforce their delusions.

The Trump/Sanders phenomena will go down in political history as a cautionary tale for both political parties and (hopefully) an irresponsible media.

5. It's become a real cult of personality

Without exaggeration, I have read or heard that Bernie:

-has never told a lie in his live
-has never been mistaken on any issue
-is the most admired man in America
-has the highest IQ of any senator
-is the most influential senator


and on and on...


This "revolution" is going to become dangerous if it isn't stopped soon.

once he loses and it becomes apparent that he wasn't so special, many of his cult will quickly forget him. Impressionable minds don't like their "shiny objects" tarnished.

A bunch of cranky ultra fringy liberals managed to rile up a lot of kids by promising them free college. When Bernie fails, they will go back to living off their parents.

But I am watching people I know, good, smart, principled people, foam at the mouth and scream about coin tosses and demanding everyone agree that second place beats first place and it gives me the willies.

4. BS just can't believe that the Unions, the Dems, and the AAs went for Hillary!

A majority of Democratic caucus-goers, 55 percent, said the next president should generally follow Barack Obama’s policies, rather than pursue more liberal or less liberal approaches. And those who lined up with Obama were an especially strong group for Clinton, 68-26 percent vs. Sanders.

LOve it!

"Finally in the Democratic contest there’s the question of race. Whites accounted for 91 percent of Democratic caucus-goers – a lot, even if low by Iowa Democratic caucus standards. Whites also dominate in New Hampshire. But they accounted for 65 percent of voters across all Democratic primaries in 2008. And among the 9 percent of non-white Democratic caucus-goers in Iowa on Monday, Clinton won by a wide margin, 58-34 percent."

And Clinton beat Sanders among union households by 9 points, undercutting some conventional wisdom.

...you know that his supporters here would be shrilly screaming "DESTINY!"

Again, this new "BernieUnderground" litmus test of blind loyalty to the non Democrat who is being bolstered by rightist super PACS is genuinely disturbing. I fear that we can no longer lay c!aim to any intellectual superiority over the teabaggers after the conduct of ma y of the most strident of Sanders' supporters. I only HOPE that ma y of them are only trolling Republicans/teabaggers trying to piss in the DEMOCRATIC soup.

I ful!y expect that this post will be alerted and hidden due to the recent atmosphere here of zero tolerance of anything that is not fawning over Bernie. I think my record here over almost 13 years and almost 10, 000 posts is strong enough to avoid being PPR' d for daring to support an "apparently" not quite liberal enough DEMOCRATIC woman!

SHIT!

PEACE!

15. Maybe he'll retire from the Senate and become a greeter at Ben & Jerry's!

Of course he would have to clean up a little and stop spitting at people, but delicious deserts make Socialism more palatable to everyone!

Corollary to if Bernie changes his position on anything it's because he is so wise and honest. If Hillary does, she's a flip flopper.
