A Fantasy: That People will Unite Under Sanders

[LaydeeBug]

Since he has not won the popular vote, is woefully behind in delegates, and now his only ruse is, "Well primaries shouldn't be closed"...<<<<------Well DEMOCRATS run their own primary and each state decides. You can't bully your way to open primaries everywhere. Democrats pick Democratic candidates, how is that hard?

Well, after Josh Marshall put it out on Beat Street, we really might be dealing with "Crazy Uncle Bernie"

1. PUMAS are gonna do what PUMAS are gonna do. n/t

[LaydeeBug]

6. ...elect Hillary Clinton. nt

[Trust Buster]

2. Sanders tried to hijack the Party and drive it of the farthest cliff on the Left. He failed.

[Little Star]

4. Bingo!

[Skwmom]

5. Sanders is trying to take the Party back from the monied interests. Of course the Democratic

Establishment want him to fail.

[Hortensis]

22. We don't have to want him to fail, he is failing

on his own. Three of his top people have left, extremely likely because they disapproved of his behavior and plans and worried about damage to their reputations. Other staffers who haven't quit yet are obviously in sinking-ship mode, leaking supposed ass-covering information to the press that "HE did it, not us." Not good signs.

3. A fantasy that people will unite under Hillary.

[LaydeeBug]

7. we already have 3 million more than your guy. nt

[cherokeeprogressive]

12. Yeah well she's going to need 218 congresscritters and 51 Senators to get ANYTHING done.

Good luck with that.

[LaydeeBug]

14. She certainly is, and we're up for the challenge. nt

[cherokeeprogressive]

18. Who's "we"? You and 269 congresscritters?

I don't think you're going to be much help getting legislation passed.

[merrily]

13. Not the point and irrelevant in the general, but you should post it few thousand more times in case

anyone missed it.

[LaydeeBug]

15. Absolutely. See ys in November. She has more votes now than ANY other candidate.

Including Trump. Sorry that bothers you. I like it when Democrats *win*

[merrily]

17. Also irrelevant in the general. Doesn't bother me in the least. Don't presume.

[hobbit709]

8. Even bigger fantasy: That Hillary will unite anyone when she makes her right turn.

[LaydeeBug]

20. suuuuuure. nt

[Skwmom]

9. The only ones who are crazy is Clinton and the Democratic Establishment for thinking people

aren't fed up with the politicians selling out and cashing in.

[Zen Democrat]

11. Exactly. This is an OUTSIDER year. Either Trump or Sanders will be President. Who do you want?

[LaydeeBug]

16. It's Trump or Hillary, because math is math. Also this idea that

she's "establishment" and that this is an 'outsider year" is just supposition.

[lumberjack_jeff]

10. Democrats don't need to unite if Sanders is the nominee.

Half of democrats + wall street republicans = Clinton loss
Half of democrats + independents = Sanders win.

[LaydeeBug]

21. Sorry sweets, Hillary has more votes than *ANY* nominee. Nice try. No dice.

19. I love how folks are still talking about Bernie Sanders.

Thank you.
