Is it me or are they completely losing their shit today?

Bernie supporters are horrible -that's a familiar one from H supporters. But now politico's whining about it.
And now they're trying to make a case that Bernie's hanging out with bankers.

Are they completely losing their shit?
I mean, that's as prepostrous as it gets -it's like claiming H is secretely pro-life.
Does it have anything to do with the fact that she's about to be crushed in NH?

Iowa momentum. 3 million raised in one day. New Hampshire poll numbers. Endorsements coming in. And now, new national poll has him eating away Hillary's lead by 30 points.

Yep. I guess maybe they should be losing their shit.

That's why evoting machines are so dangerous. Bernie must win BIG. The Clinton's WILL hack the machines. David Brock works for them

Because I'm sure that's their plan. If he has massive voter turnout, they won't be able to flip the minimal, non conspicuous amount they need to steal the election.

donor cash, and super delegates for a long time. Sanders has simply taken it to the people. There is a huge difference in their campaigns and she can still win this, although she needs to take a bit more control of the bigger mouths in her organization.

Still, I'm not only seeing a duplication of Hillary War I in 2008 when people got thoroughly sick of her more rabid partisans and of her incredibly flawed campaign staff that year. They're the ones who defeated her, really.

I just hope we don't see them turning into the same sourpusses they did in 2008. I still know a few who consider themselves Republicans now.

Sat Feb 6, 2016, 02:17 PM

But I assumed that Hillary would run a good campaign. It is still possible that she could revamp her pitch and regain the advantage.

But it is starting to look that she is incapable of putting forward a positive message. Once "I'm inevitable" collapsed, she stupidly and stubbornly decided to Go Negative.

The numbers are piling up with a brutal verdict -- bad idea to trash Bernie.


She should just quit talking about Sanders and instead relate her vision for the future. Of course shed'd have to have one -- but hell, she has enough money to buy one. Her support is melting because she thinks offering to keep things the way they are is somehow appealing.

If she doesn't get her head out of her ass soon, Sanders could be the one to wrap it up early.


We can't count on that, but jeez her campaign really is embarrassingly bad.
