2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumI can't wait for the primaries to be over so we can all unite behind our nominee Bernie Sanders!
Going forward in the general it will be great to have President Obama and former Presidents Carter & Clinton out campaigning for him!

Nice try at deflection though....
Agschmid
(28,749 posts)You did, right in your OP title...
And before any votes have been cast, oh my the progressiveness of that is amazing.
Keep on keeping on.
Lol.

(64 posts)To continue to serve bullshit about Sanders. At the end we must unite around President-elect Sanders.
Clinton is already finished, despite her polling. She cannot win when her favorable numbers are still underwater. Take a look at the rolling polls on favorable for Clinton at Huffpost

(11,495 posts)And yet they sound like every other anti Hillary poster who "claims" to be for Sanders. I bet they don't like president Obama either!
Floyd Steinberg
(64 posts)Voted for him twice. What of it? Is there a litmus test for a new poster? I did not realize there were rules about that.

(2,760 posts)I'd support him of course, but I wouldn't like his chances.
Our only hope would be the GOP nominating Trump or Honest Ben.
AgingAmerican
(12,958 posts)He would reverse right wing economic policies and reduce the military budget. Both kryptonite to the corporate controlled Third Way®
senz
(11,945 posts)And, as numerous polls have shown, he can defeat each of the GOP candidates in the GE.
moobu2
(4,822 posts)at this point because the GOP hasn't attacked him yet and the media don't even bother to dig into his past and do real reporting on him because no one besides his worshipers thinks he has any chance whatsoever to win the primary. If Hillary falls for some unforeseen reason that will all change and they'll go after Bernie like they've been doing Hilary for the last several years and Bernie's poll numbers will reflect that new negative attention.
senz
(11,945 posts)Of course the Repubs will go after him with renewed vigor after he wins the nomination, so I think he's very smart to begin his appeal across party lines early, so that larger numbers of voters will have a sense of who he really is before the lies get started.
moobu2
(4,822 posts)sure because he'll be much easier to beat in the general. Bernie Sanders will have zero cross over appeal in the general after the republicans get done with him. But thankfully, we wont have to worry about Bernie winning the primary.
senz
(11,945 posts)Just a corporate cross breed.
AgingAmerican
(12,958 posts)Of course all evidence says otherwise, but they are desperate.

(8,658 posts)They have. Google Jane Sanders/Burlington College/Falsified balance sheet.
2pooped2pop
(5,420 posts)She just hasn't been able to find anything about him that the people won't like.
moobu2
(4,822 posts)even if she wanted to. That's my point. Nobody feels it's necessary to attack Bernie Sanders because everybody knows he cant win so that's why his poll numbers in the general election are artificial. Meanwhile, the GOP, the media and the Bernie Sanders campaign/supporters have been relentlessly attacking Hillary Clinton for months.

(11,945 posts)From what I've seen, she has the heart and soul of a Republican. I suspect she always did and always will. She shows no allegiance to "the people." She has shown repeatedly that her primary interest is status, power, money, the high life -- and ego.
Bernie is the opposite of that. Bernie is the distilled essence of what Democrat truly means. We've been over all of this on this forum many times before, and I assume you are of normal intelligence and have a passable memory, so I'm not going to waste my time going over it again.
What these Republicans like about Bernie is his character and his opposition to consolidated corporate power. These concerns are not so much "political" as just plain human. Many Republicans get their opinions from rightwing propaganda (Fox, Rush, etc.) and have never been exposed to someone like Bernie.
I realize your single sentence reply was nothing but a low dig, attempting to damage Bernie, but I also know these attempts are so far off the mark that they fall flat.
Also, if you start baiting with the goal of alerting, as many of us have seen you do before, I will put you on ignore. Okay?

I guess it depends on where one looks, huh?
By the way, just yesterday she was being criticized here on DU for campaigning for Grimes in her campaign against Mitch McConnell last year. Go figure!

(30,058 posts)The Democratic platform. Sanders is the one who is nit Democratic, as for as Hillary and many other Democrats will nit be redefined by others. Give Sanders another name I have seniority on the Democratic title.
mythology
(9,527 posts)Same as Sanders and she was the 11th most liberal senator during her time in office. It is almost amusing how so many people insist that Clinton is a Republican or a conservative by ignoring her actual record.
Gothmog
(145,619 posts)The idiots at the National Review are now urging conservatives to support Bernie Sanders http://www.nationalreview.com/article/420262/bernie-sanders-republicans-myra-adams
This is a call to action for every Republican anxious to win back the White House in 2016. Bernie Sanders, the socialist U.S. senator from Vermont, is now surging in his quest to win the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination. He is attracting media attention and large crowds, and is invigorated by a New Hampshireprimary poll showing him only 10 points behind frontrunner Hillary Clinton.
After a GOP power player sent me a piece from left-leaning Salon headlined Hillary Clinton is going to lose: She doesnt even see the frustrated progressive wave that will nominate Bernie Sanders, my heart went pitter-patter, beginning to sense an opportunity. But it was not until I saw a headline in The Hill warning that the Sanders surge is becoming a bigger problem for Clinton, accompanied by It may be time for Hillary Clinton to take the challenge from Sen. Bernie Sanders more seriously, that I was truly motivated to join Team Bernie and rally my fellow Republicans to do the same.

Gothmog
(145,619 posts)That is a new low for Sanders on Predictwise http://www.predictwise.com/politics/2016DemNomination Las Vegas and the overseas betting markets are strongly betting against Sanders.
