Bernie Sanders

"The Clintons are running a 1992 campaign." Yep, stuck in the past. Old school machine politics. Younger voters are going to change this country over time. 20 years from now, I hope the whole machine/endorsement bullshit just goes away. Allow the voters to make up their own mind. 93% of the Endorsements in New Hampshire were for Hillary and she only received 38% of the vote.

93% of the Endorsements in New Hampshire were for Hillary and she only received 38% of the vote.--from the OP
The party apparatchiks come out, try to do as much damage as possible to the anti-apparatchik candidate, and then the voters vote the opposite way!
That is truly great. I've been waiting for decades to see that happening. I hope it keeps happening until the party apparatchiks realize what a losing path they are on, and start supporting the real Democrat in this race. Some will. Some won't. But the ones who won't, who want to hold hands with the Clintons as they jump off the cliff to moneyed oblivion, are going to find themselves out of power, as a new Democratic Party is born--a political party of, by and for the People.

I like the handle Peace Patriot. I had to look up apparatchik. I wasn't sure
if "real democrat" included the socialist Sanders and whether apparatchik
meant Communist? I have surmised that Sanders is a real democrat and
the Clintons are apparatchiks.
I feel I am being trolled by Hillary via email.
She has my vote if she beats Bernie.
BTW ....... I am proud of that heart someone gave me. How thoughtful!

(3,623 posts)I've been pushing it because the Clintons claimed Bernie had a neighbor state advantage even though he was 50% behind in May 2015 polls and 93% of the elected officials endorsed Hillary. She had everything in her favor and still lost about 70 points in 9 months.
