Latest lying narrative by the HRC campaign

[kristopher]

The claim that Bernie has to win New York or he's done.

Neither Bernie nor his campaign have ever said that. They hope to be close, and maaaaayyybe win, but their view - repeatedly stated, is that the campaign isn't over until California.

Period.

Full stop.

1. They make it up as they go

maybe when she loses the nomination she can go into fiction writing.

[Silver_Witch]

2. My hope Bernie stay in until. All the voting is done!

My primary is not until June. Seems only fair we should all have a choice. I like choice. It makes me feel as if part of democracy is still alive!

[Agschmid]

3. Bernie has repeatedly said he will win NY.

He might, he might not.

Who knows.

The primary isn't over but it's certainly an uphill climb for him.

[kristopher]

5. They've never said anything else.

Hillary is running scared because of California.

[Agschmid]

7. I think it's an overstatement to say she is running scared.

At this moment her campaign leads in almost all measurable metrics.

- Pledged Delegate
- Primary State Popular Vote Count
- Super Delegates
- And on...

9. No, he has consistently said,

"I think we can win New York if enough voters turn out." Big difference ... and hard to argue with his statement.

[Gwhittey]

4. Not sure why Clinton is so worried about NY

Is NY harder to rig with early voting absentee ballots over the other ones?

[kristopher]

8. She's scared of a total blowout in California.

Imagine the turnout of Bernie supporters in the quasi-open primary if the voters their know they can win it for Bernie.

Can you say 75/25?

[Agschmid]

10. She isn't "rigging" elections, this smear needs to stop.

[Gwhittey]

12. rigging does not mean that she cheated..

rigging :"assemble and adjust to make it ready for operation." By DNC having drives to get out early absentee ballots only helps Clinton because in primary underdog like Sanders is never going to be able to get his name out in time to counter them. Why do you think Clinton has done so well in that area? By DNC not having any GOTV drives anywhere as they have done in every other primary. Why would the DNC not want to get more people registered as democrat to vote in a election? That one is too obvious reason unless you are a blind supporter of candidate that it helps.

[Agschmid]

13. DNC: Damned if they do, damned if they don't.

GOTV is not rigging an election.

[Gwhittey]

14. Sure it is

Lack of GOTV is. Because you don't want 18-25 people to vote because they are more likely to vote for one over other. So you don't run it even though it is proven way to get people out in GE. DNC would rather have one person have advantage for primary than make it easier for what even nomination to win the GE.

[kristopher]

16. SMH. The crap-for-logic that is put out to justify her actions astounds me.

[BillZBubb]

6. Well, every two weeks the Clinton campaign says Sanders is finished.

Then he wins more primaries. Their prognostication skills have proved to be non-existent.

Actually, in this case, Bernie really does need a win in NY to keep his momentum. It doesn't have to be a blowout, just a W. Technically a loss isn't the end, but the reality is he has to keep winning primaries, especially the big ones.

[KPN]

15. Yeah, a win would actually

Stick a fork in her!

[CoffeeCat]

11. Her campaign started this in Iowa

How many times did we hear on DU, from the peanut gallery--that if Hillary won Iowa, it was all over for Bernie?

They've been making the case, since November--that if HRC wins (fill in the blank with name of state), that he is done.

I don't know how many times Sanders needs to say it:

--He's in until the convention.
--This is not just about a primary election.
--This is about a movement, a revolution, that extends beyond the primary season.

Furthermore, Bernie will have a ton of delegates at the national convention. He's not just going to abandon those people and stop fighting.
