2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumA little reality check.
In less than two weeks Hillary will clinch the nomination.
The emails continue to be a non-scandal, no matter how much noise the Berners make about it.
Trump isn't debating Bernie because Bernie is an irrelevant sideshow, not because he's afraid.
Bernie's not going to get Barney Frank or anyone else kicked off the platform committee. When you pick a guy who called Obama the n-word, your ability to call out other people for unfair criticism is gone.
Hope you've had your fun Berners, because there's 3 minutes to go and you're down by five touchdowns. I predict that the next two weeks will be the ugliest yet from the Berners, a grand finale of angry Dem-bashing, lots of conspiracy theories, lots of vengeful gloom predictions of a Trump presidency (accompanied with much irony by Bernie-or-Bust statements), caps lock keys ground to dust, and many more links to right-wing media that seem to become increasingly prevalent as Bernie's hopes drop to zero.
And then we get to move on to the General, Hillary versus Trump!

(58,724 posts)ANAHEIM, Calif. Senator Bernie Sanders may be trailing Hillary Clinton by hundreds of delegates, and Mrs. Clinton may be treating the Democratic nomination as hers, but Julie Crowell, a stay-at-home mother and a die-hard Sanders supporter, is holding out for an 11th-hour miracle: divine deliverance at the hands of the F.B.I.
