Bernie Sanders’ Frustration Boils Over As He Is Winning States But Losing Nomination Fight

When Bernie Sanders proclaimed that he feels that Hillary Clinton was unqualified for president, his remarks were fueled by the frustration of a campaign that has been on a winning streak, but is losing the overall battle for the Democratic nomination.

When Bernie Sanders proclaimed that he feels that Hillary Clinton was unqualified for president, his remarks were fueled by the frustration of a campaign that has been on a winning streak, but is losing the overall battle for the Democratic nomination.

The results in Wisconsin are a perfect example of the problem that the Sanders campaign is facing. Bernie Sanders won Wisconsin by 13 points, which was great for his campaign, but according to Nate Silver, Sanders needed a 16 point win to take 50 of the state’s 86 delegates. A sixteen point win would have kept him on pace to erase Hillary Clinton’s delegate lead. Since he fell short, Sanders is going to need to pick up a couple of extra delegates elsewhere to get back on track.

Kornacki’s math revealed that even if Sanders does well and wins states like New York and Pennsylvania by a few points, his margin of victory won’t be enough to overtake Clinton.

He will win NY and California and will get the nomination at the convention.

What is frustrating him is the lies being told about him.

His opponents are not nearly as honest.

Anyone who challenges the establishment is going to be smeared. The smearers are most notable by their lack of issue based arguments... instead they get personal and negative and lack any background with their callous smears.

The hate reeks of desperation and fear. It makes no sense.

Why do you hate Bernie?

... but I don't appreciate someone running an entire campaign on his honesty and virtue, claiming he's "never run a negative ad", and then outright lying and fabricating a quote so that he can proclaim himself morally superior. It's hypocritical, distasteful, and something the Bernie of two months ago would have called obscene.

Telling the facts are not being negative.

You claiming Bernie is not honest is negative and personal. You are the one showing desperation and fear and hypocrisy. You should stop doing that. Try facts for once.

It's GOP politics at it's finest - try to destroy your opponent's strength.

Bernie is viewed as the most trustworthy while Hillary is as untrustworthy as Drumpf. The only way she can win is to try to change that by calling him the very thing she is.

If Bernie can't overtake Hillary, then why bother trying to destroy his character?
