Calls Super Delegates Undemocratic..





http://theobamadiary.com/2016/03/31/early-bird-chat-710/

This is one good reason why Hillary has most of the Super Dels with her.. Most of the Democratic Leaders are Down Ticket.. Amazing! They appreciate those who know we're all in this together.. not just for ourselves.

It's a good thing Hillary's had decades of rw lies to deal with this kind of campaigning coming from BS.

I'm going back to taking a break. This super-Delgate shit is on my last nerve. You'd think people interested in politics would have a--at least a cursory--knowledge of the political process. A modicum of interest in how the tax structure works. The occasional peak at constitutional law. How these things need to work together. I mean, I am no political scholar either, but I at least try to learn..constantly.

why should I trust him to be our nominee!? No wonder the Supers aren't impressed neither. And HRC is winning the Registered Dems votes in most States even States that went for BS. We know a DEM when we see one. A DEM helps other DEMS and knows we are not just a white party but an inclusive party.

Bernie is one of those ethically challenged people who thinks if they are open and honest about their brazen exploitation, it somehow makes it ok!

It appears those kinds of pesky principles don't fit into the larger narrative of his sanctimonious "revolution". It is actually a pretty significant symptom of malignant narcissism where people and organizations are simply seen as a means to an end. Not coincidentally, that is very similar to Trump shamelessly bragging about doing whatever needs to be done so he can "win".

Remind me again how the characters of these two are different from the worst of the 1%?

Will he continue to caucus with Senate Democrats? He hasn't treated them or the Democratic party very well.

Maybe the Democratic party should rethink this policy and keep non-Democrats out of future primaries, especially in the case of those who, like Sanders, have a history of disdain for the Democratic party. What other outcome did party members expect? You don't invite hostile neighbors to swim in your pool.

I thought it was a good idea to let him run in our primaries. I was excited about him gaining a bigger platform to voice his ideas, and I was glad to see the party attempt to reach out to its biggest critics on the Left who feel "marginalized". After all the times he has caucused with us, I would've never anticipated the lack of decency on the part of him and many who support him.

Then I saw him start to take the wrecking ball or scorched earth approach to the Democratic party.

Democrats invited the fox into the hen house. But he promised he wouldn't be a spoiler. I'm not sure how he intends to govern (if he is nominated) or function in the Senate (if he is not nominated) after alienating practically everyone in the Democratic party. And it's not likely that his Republican buddy, Senator James Inhofe, will back free college and single-payer health care.
