Bernie needs to drop out.

[boston bean]

We absolutely need to focus on Trump. Right fucking now. If he cares about this country he will do the right thing and get our party united and stop talkin like trump.

[dchill]

1. Nah.

[JimDandy]

31. They are drinking the desperate juice again.

Sad, really, that they can't let democracy win.

[dchill]

38. Too many anxieties and insecurities.

[Ferd Berfel]

120. This.......

[dchill]

122. That, my friend, is a complete OP.

Go!

[SusanCalvin]

133. Yep. nt

[larkrake]

2. bernie is the only one who can beat trump

[JimDandy]

36. He would win the GE hands down if it were held today.

No ifs, ands, or buts.

[JudyM]

117. But if he drops out Hillary gets to be the nominee, that's what's important here.

[Arneoker]

131. No

http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/politics/2016/04/polls_say_bernie_is_more_electable_than_hillary_don_t_believe_them.html

[SheilaT]

3. He should drop out at the same point in the primary season that Hillary dropped out in 2008.

Which was four days after the final primary.

[JimDandy]

40. And she dropped out because she had NOOOOOO chance of winning.

Bernie still has a chance, and a great platform for the party.

[Armstead]

4. Nah

[Trust Buster]

5. Sanders has no fealty to the Democratic Party. Sanders is all about Sanders.

[Electric Monk]

15. Fealty (n) the fidelity of a vassal or feudal tenant to his lord

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/fealty

[Luminous Animal]

41. : )

[Buns_of_Fire]

135. The man simply REFUSES to bow down in the face of Hillary's awesome wonderfulness.

During the debates he wouldn't even tug his forelock (look it up) when permitted to share the same stage with the Clinton Party's champion. It was only Hillary's superhuman self-control that kept her from smiting him good 'n' proper right then and there, leaving him a whimpering blob of protoplasm begging for her mercy (which she would gladly have given, being all-seeing, all-knowing, and all-compassionate to the lesser mortals of her domain).

But worse, this upstart prince has attracted a following. And this following also refuses to kneel before the Supreme Elders of The Party. They have this curious idea that, somehow, THEY are in charge.

We must disabuse them of these foolish notions.

[Electric Monk]

137. LOL!! Awesome reply, thanks for posting :) nt

[casperthegm]

6. Feel the Bern

Woohoo!

[JimDandy]

51. They are. They keep swatting the flames and it just feeds the fire for democracy instead.

You can't keep a good man down. They never learn...

[bkkyosemite]

7. You just can't give us a minute of peace can you.

[Chasstev365]

8. You are sounding desparate!

It's sad that you feel so threatened.

[NV Whino]

9. Give it a rest.

[JimDandy]

57. No rest for the weary

of democracy people.

[opiate69]

10. Uh-huh.

[bigwillq]

11. There will be plenty of time to stop Trump

The GE race usually begins after the national conventions anyway. This year will, and should, be no different.

Hillary will be the nominee and the DEM party will unite around her to try to stop Trump.

[boston bean]

13. Usually we don't have the Republicans having their candidate prior to ours being FULLY settled

with some man with delusions thinking he can win it, sowing more discord, sounding like the trump.

[bigwillq]

17. Trump is going to win or lose on his own merits

not because the DEM primary went on a few weeks longer than some wanted it to.
Hillary, and the DEM party, will be fine.

Chill.

[boston bean]

20. umm, listen to him right now. and we got him and Bernie saying the same things

What a clusterfuck.

If Bernie cares about this country he will recognize this and get the hell out of this.

[timmymoff]

25. Stop whining, it's math, she's inevitable

[boston bean]

26. She is the nominee. He needs to grasp reality and so don't his supporters.

[timmymoff]

34. c'mon

after all Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June.

[Warren DeMontague]

116. Then you shouldnt be threatened by the fact that people are still voting for him.

Hell, I just mailed mine the other day. GO BERNIE!

[islandmkl]

126. "...cares about the country..."...now THAT'S some pretty damn projection...

you meant "...cares about the wants and desires of Hillary...." but you just mis-stated it...

which seems to be an unavoidable trend over in the HRC camp...

on edit: meant for BB

[timmymoff]

21. don't worry, she's been vetted, what could possibly go wrong?

Oh I know, her eventual shift to the right souring sanders supporters from wanting to vote for her. Some already are. I include myself in the second group.

[dchill]

35. Fully settled is a stretch.

Trump will never be fully settled.

[pat_k]

72. Yep. There will be no "falling in line" behind Trump.

[Duckhunter935]

62. She has been fully vetted

Why so worried?

[dchill]

85. There must be a better word...

I'm not feeling "vetted." Especially "fully."

[Warren DeMontague]

114. So? Now their primary is boring, and ours isnt.

This idea that a contested and hard-fought extended primary process is damaging in Novemeber was tested in 2008, and failed.

[timmymoff]

121. except in 2008

[Skwmom]

12. If you want to hold the highest office in the land, you should be able to multi-task.

[nc4bo]

14. I don't think so.......

Thought about it. Nope.

[TheCowsCameHome]

16. First, congratulate Sanders for winning tonight.

If you have it in you, which I doubt............

[Eric J in MN]

18. Obama defeated John McCain after the primary contest

...continued through the last state.

[ScreamingMeemie]

19. Nope. Trump, I fear less than I feared Cruz.

I am glad that my candidate is seeing his promise through. I am glad someone stepped forward.

Because he cares about me, instead of a misty "country/corporation," he is staying in.

Thank you Bernie. This working single mother appreciates it.

(and I still think this is an epic Trump trolling)

[boston bean]

22. I remember I felt the same exact way about GWB in 2000. The same exact way.

[timmymoff]

27. Don't be sad, she is the most qualified candidate EVAH!

[boston bean]

32. I'm not sad. your clairvoyance capabilities are lacking.

[timmymoff]

37. Seems your clairvoyance is leading you towards a loss

and you call mine bad?

[ScreamingMeemie]

30. I was scared to death of BushCo in 2000.

Funny how people see things differently.

Thank goodness we have until the convention.

[boston bean]

39. I was scared in the way that I thought he would be a horrible president he was so fucking stupid.

But still this country voted him in.

I just didn't think people were that stupid. But they are.

[ScreamingMeemie]

47. Uninformed.

That's my take on it. I know some awfully smart people who vote stupidly.

[boston bean]

49. ok, uninformed... whatever. it still happened.

[ScreamingMeemie]

58. And we got exactly what I was afraid of. I'm done with it.

Cruz the creep is out. Bernie has promised to stay in. It would be fun to donate to a presidential candidate for the first time since 2004 instead of keeping my money in down-ticket races. Although, down ticket races mean more here in Texas. No fear here.

[jack_krass]

23. Dont worry, you'll feel better soon. Chin up.

[snowy owl]

24. Bernie can defeat Trump. The only one who can.

Anybody listening to Trumps speech right now can see it coming. He's a populist. Populism is front and center for Trump and Bernie.

[boston bean]

29. Bernie couldn't beat Hillary.

[timmymoff]

43. Someone call a wahmbulance,

at least get a tin cup for all the begging he is doing. Not so vetted after all?

[boston bean]

44. are you ok?

[timmymoff]

60. Laughing at you.

You seem a bit flustered. You seem a bit fearful your choice wasn't the right one. You seem to think you need others to help someone who is inevitable. Am I noticing a shift in Hillary supporter's confidence? Or have you rcognized a bunch of you burnt the bridge with Sanders supporters? Keep begging, it looks good on you.

[boston bean]

65. You need more practice if you want to get me flustered.

Bullies on the internet putting word in others mouth is an old tactic. It's so passe.

Come on now try something better or more original if you can. Which i highly doubt.

[timmymoff]

67. I didn't put words in your mouth

I saw how you were reacting and commented on it.

[boston bean]

69. You are right. You didn't put any pit in my mouth.

[timmymoff]

73. lol

now we go to a typo. Sorry about your reactions. Maybe I shouldn't have commented on them? You will recover.

[boston bean]

76. I have no need to recover from anything.

[timmymoff]

88. Your fear of Trump would be a place

to start. Considering you are begging. Have a good one, it's math!

[boston bean]

91. I need to recover from fear of trump.

I have trumphobia. You don't.

[timmymoff]

97. You shouldn't

we Bernie supporters have been told all along you don't need us, etc. Better get campaigning , you have a terrible product to sell.

[Duckhunter935]

104. Yep, I agree

[PufPuf23]

80. Who is being the bully here and taking part in the bullying?

Let the process play out.

[boston bean]

84. I already know. You can figure it out if you really try.

[Biaviians]

52. Indiana doesn't think it's over yet.

[boston bean]

55. Ok, lots of people don't. Doesn't change reality.

Lots of people believe the moon landing was faked.

[Human101948]

134. That's it...Bernie is actually a fake American...

The real Bernie Sanders went to Russia and was replaced by a KGB agent with a Brooklyn accent. This is bigger than the Grassy Knoll!

[JimDandy]

68. He actually would. We all KNOW that if the GE were held today, he'd be president tomorrow.

And that's what we're fighting for. We will support him all the way.

[boston bean]

70. That won't happen because he has lost the nomination.

[JimDandy]

78. Not true, but you keep your chin up now, you hear. n/t

[boston bean]

79. My chin is up. And ready to take on trump.

[JimDandy]

87. Good to hear, because Sanders is going to need your help defeating him.

[boston bean]

95. That is just not reality.

[ecstatic]

63. Maybe. And Kasich was probably the GOP's best chance, but that's not how it works.

That's not how our parties determine nominees. Clinton got more votes and will get the nomination. Period. Why does Bernie have such a hard time dealing with reality, not only on his platform but on the DNC rules, math, etc.?

[panader0]

28. Hahahahaha.....

[HERVEPA]

33. Jesus Christ on a stick, give this crap up already.

[Biaviians]

42. See you at the convention!

[JimDandy]

61. Yep... we've got our bells on!!!

They're bringing the (dog) whistles.

[angrychair]

45. I'll reply with all the seriousness this OP was made in

[ecstatic]

46. Right FUCKING now

Shit just got real.

[virtualobserver]

48. Hillary is a weak candidate who is still losing primaries, and we need to face that.

[JimDandy]

75. The Independents and about half the Dem party are giving Bernie the green light.

Hillary is seeing red.

[MrMickeysMom]

50. Looks like this is a job for...

The Brock Astro-Turf Patrol!

Call them RIGHT FUCKING NOW!!!11111!

[cherokeeprogressive]

53. FUCK. THAT.

And fuck too.

[Duckhunter935]

54. Nope

I am donating to help his expenses

[saltpoint]

56. Speaking for my part,

I don't fucking think so.

People in the late primaries appreciate an airing of the issues and don't get it when candidates bail.

Bernie's stayed close to his game and kept up the dialogue.

Looks like a lot of Indiana Democrats agree.

We need his voice up to and beyond the last fucking second of the convention in Philadelphia.

[Peregrine Took]

59. Um.........................no.

Next suggestion...

[quaker bill]

64. There is a way candidates get other candidates to drop out

they beat them over and over, as many times as it takes. (see Donald Trump booting Ted Cruz out for an example)

They do not whine, they win.

[Raine]

66. Uh NO!!!!!!!!!!

Feel the Bern!!!!!!

[Bonobo]

71. Rudy said it best

[cali]

74. Nonsense and nothing but. Hillary is a weak nominee but if she can't beat

Trump, that's on her.

[JonathanRackham]

77. Mick Jagger summed it up best.

[Kilgore]

81. Never ever underestimate Trump

You do so at your own peril!!

[TransitJohn]

82. If he cares about this country he will do the right thing and keep winning and unite the party

to beat Trump.

[pat_k]

83. DNFTEC

The

Quit replying. Let the post sink like the stone it is. About 800 views and only 8 recs. Even Hillary people are tired of this one.

[dinkytron]

86. And you need to drop acid.

[JimDandy]

93. BB is a little fried tonight all right. n/t

[dinkytron]

103. Wish I was fried. I just started a thread of "Burn"-ie songs. Brave enough to do it

in GDP not BS group. Man, why can't folks see the beautiful narrative we are writing, whoever wins....

[Bjornsdotter]

89. Seems like Hillary has a problem

...closing the deal, by all means blame Bernie for Hillary's inadequacies.

[JimDandy]

106. Bernie has been a deal breaker from start to finish.

He's the best one for taking on "The art of the deal" meister himself in the GE.

[LiberalAndProud]

90. You know what?

There is nothing more disempowering than having the primary decided before a single vote from your state is counted. There is nothing more disenfranchising and nothing more deflating. If you want people to turn out for the GE, please please and please give them a voice in the primary. I'm very serious. I refer you to the early Kerry nomination as a point in history. Stop this cry for a tko. It's party suicide.

[Duckhunter935]

107. Very well stated

[Jokerman]

92. Aww, sounds like someone's having a bad day.

Well TOO FUCKING BAD.

[Ash_F]

94. Clinton needs to drop out

It is too risky that she might be charged in the middle of the GE.

[boston bean]

96. Bs.

[Ash_F]

100. I feel like they would have dropped the case by now if it was.

This has been going on for too long, which suggests they are building a body of evidence.

[JimDandy]

118. Not *BS*! That's *Senator Bernie Sanders* or SBS to you.

And "President Bernie Sanders" to the rest of the US!

"PBS"... Hmm, that will give NPR heartburn, too, not just you.

[LP2K12]

98. No.

[craigmatic]

99. Relax Mccain won his nominationn first too and we won then when he had a good month to himself.

It'll only take 2 or 3 weeks to finish this.

[basselope]

101. LMAO. So you want the only candidate with a chance to drop out?

Good idea!

[Jester Messiah]

102. After this devastating win, you mean?

You guys are too much.

[Warren DeMontague]

112. I expect we'll see a lot of "needs" "must" "has to"

Apparently there are a lot of voters who, along with Bernie Sanders, think they are perfectly capable of deciding themselves what they do or don't "have to" do.

[northernsouthern]

105. Hillary needs to drop out.

She is losing again, she has stolen the DNC money, everyone hates her, and she may get taken away by the faeds.

[liberalnarb]

108. Oh, give it a rest. There are still two candidates in this race.

The best man or woman will win in the end. If your confident in your candidate then you shouldn't care whether Bernie stays in the race or not.

[MFM008]

110. his unreasonable supporters

Don't realize that if she wins by ONE she still wins. Even if she lost every state from now on she cannot lose the nomination and she knows that.
All this does is keep jolting the Sanders "corpse" to keep it animated.

[The Midway Rebel]

111. How about no?

Hillary needs to quit while she's ahead.

[Doctor_J]

113. I hope the next edition of the dsm lists whatever your condition is

Time to start looking for a cure

[mindwalker_i]

115. Hillary needs to drop out

Because she sucks and Sanders has a much better chance of beating Trump.

[Logical]

123. Lol,you post this hourly? Nt

[sister_rosa_refried]

124. Or drop acid, dear.

[eridani]

125. Clinton needs to quit because Sanders does better against Trump n/t

[Petrushka]

128. "Bernie needs to drop out."?? [** sigh **]

[coyote]

129. But but but Clinton supporters have this.

Why so worried?

[Arneoker]

130. Well I support Hillary but I disagree

He can make his own decision, but if were supporting him I would say no. Let him work for his larger goals, beyond his desire to be President, and go on to the convention.

I would advise him to occasionally remind people that Hillary is still tons better than Trumpo (once she gets the nom then I would remind them very frequently). For what it's worth.

[SusanCalvin]

132. I'm sure he'll give your input its due consideration. nt

[Gothmog]

136. Wait until his funding dries up
