I expect Bernie to raise hell all the way to Philly and beyond

[whatchamacallit]

The "inconvenienced" can piss off.

[Cali_Democrat]

1. Let's say Hillary was trailing in pledged delegates and total votes

...and she "raised hell" at the convention.

How would you react?

[grossproffit]

4. I've got to be honest in saying that...

I have zero f*cks to give. I'm over both BS and his "supporters."

[highprincipleswork]

6. She may yet have that chance, and if so, I would expect that she would try.

[DJ13]

7. How would you react?

I would be a grown up and (no matter how much I wanted it to be otherwise) admit it wasnt over yet, so she had the right to campaign for her supporters.

PS-
That "total votes" line is an empty number that is nothing but pure spin.

[nadinbrzezinski]

29. If the situation was similar by all means

We reporters like that kind of a show.



And we will get at least one floor show this year

The problem, and I keep saying this...you are missing the zeitgeist in the country. And to be honest that will be good for the news business. I am not sure it will be good for the country, entirely different story though

[grossproffit]

2. Will make for entertaining television.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

3. A certain president begged us to "hold his feet to the fire". Good advice.

[KingFlorez]

5. Going insane won't do him any good

[whatchamacallit]

25. You know this

from experience?

[dana_b]

8. This makes me so happy

that he is willing to fight for us and our beliefs. I really appreciate finally having a non-wimpy, true progressive to fight WITH.

[deathrind]

26. 🍻👍

[virtualobserver]

9. When Bernie has raised hell, they'll know it.

[NanceGreggs]

10. Bernie won't be thee nominee.

If he chooses to make a fool of himself from here on in, that's his choice.

But most people don't like a whiny loser - so if he chooses that path, he'll only undermine whatever positive legacy he could have had as the man who ran a race, but came in second in the end.

[whatchamacallit]

11. Thanks for your concern

Sssss... you need to quit Bernie... You don't want to look like a fool... Sssss...

[NanceGreggs]

12. It's not my concern at all.

It should be Bernie's concern - but his ego is such that even when he makes a fool of himself, he's too self-absorbed to notice.

[whatchamacallit]

13. Only Clinton sycophants consider Bernie staying in to the convention "foolish"

The rest of us cheer him. Thanks for your concern.

[NanceGreggs]

14. Again, it's not my concern.

If Bernie wants to keep pretending he's achieving anything, that's his prerogative.

Besides, keeping up the pretense does keep the money coming in, doesn't it? Those all-expenses paid private jet getaways to Rome for the entire family need to be covered by somebody.

[whatchamacallit]

15. Insinuates the person supporting a candidate with 153 million dollars

Sickening.

[NanceGreggs]

16. I think taking donations from people ...

... on the basis that you can still win, when you know you can't, is fraud. And spending hundreds of thousands of that donor money on a family trip to Rome is what's sickening.

But you know what they say: "A fool and his $27 are soon parted."

[whatchamacallit]

18. Fraud thy name is Clinton Foundation

I know this doesn't compute for folks like you, but I'm happy if all my donation money does is stir up the corrupt establishment hornet's nest. Money well spent IMO.

[NanceGreggs]

20. And no doubt Bernie's family flying to Rome ...

... did a lot to "stir up the establishment hornet's nest"!

[whatchamacallit]

23. The Clinteam meme that Bernie is a hypocrite unless he is an absolute pauper

is the dumbest formulation ever. Grade school playground nonsense. But obviously one can't transcend their meager gifts.

[NanceGreggs]

24. By his own words ...

"You don’t change the system from within the Democratic Party.”

“My own feeling is that the Democratic Party is ideologically bankrupt.”

“We have to ask ourselves, ‘Why should we work within the Democratic Party if we don’t agree with anything the Democratic Party says?’”

"It would be hypocritical of me to run as a Democrat because of the things I have said about the party."

... Bernie proved himself to be a hypocrite the minute he asked to run on the Dem ticket.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

19. that's what Hillary did in 2008?

she may suffer the same fate in this election

[NanceGreggs]

21. Bernie has lost the race.

No can can dispute that he put everything he had into winning - but in the end, he lost.

He can now either be a gracious also-ran or a whiny loser - his choice.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

22. he hasn't lost it

the race is not finished

[whatchamacallit]

28. If Bernie doesn't pull off an upset today the shrill shrieking will be almost unbearable

But as long as Clinton is short of the requisite pledged delegates, I want him in.

[nadinbrzezinski]

30. Ah another one that misses the zeitgeist

By the way, the effect of Bernie will nt be known for a while. But this is a sign post of what is going on in the country. You live in Canada, so you are not getting it. There is that of course

[cherokeeprogressive]

17. I hope the fuck he does. I also hope it makes a few heads explode.

[840high]

27. My gosh - yes.

[alcibiades_mystery]

31. He can raise hell forever as far as I'm concerned

He still lost, though, and won't be the nominee.

[workinclasszero]

32. If Sanders wants to appear delusional to the public

and his followers nutcases....who am I to say don't?

[whatchamacallit]

34. Hmm...

So you're saying Clinton and her brood were nutcases when she didn't drop out in 2008? Got it.

[NurseJackie]

33. That helps to explain why he's losing. Appearances count.

[whatchamacallit]

35. Did someone twist the nonsense spigot on?

[whatchamacallit]

36. Kick

[Demsrule86]

37. He could do that

If he wants to go out that way...but he will get nothing...please remember he lost. Thus, he has no reason to demand concessions from the winner.

[JoePhilly]

38. Meh.

[litlbilly]

39. I am still saying Oregon and California are gonna be huge for Bernie and he overtakes

Hillary. stay tuned

[Beacool]

40. Oh, boy............
