Bernie Sanders
Related: About this forumDemocratic Race Heating Up, Not Winding Down
http://readersupportednews.org/opinion2/277-75/36128-focus-democratic-race-heating-up-not-winding-downSanders has pulled ahead in Wisconsin and is already making appearances in Pennsylvania, Maryland, and New York. Clinton has been forced to spend time in New York, where Bernie is pushing hard for a debate before the April 19th primary. Sanders also seems to be getting under Clintons skin. She blew up at a Greenpeace activist who asked whether she would pledge to reject money from the fossil fuel industry going forward. Clinton claimed she was not taking their money and in an angry tone said she wished Bernie Sanders would stop lying.
Lets be clear, if the Clinton campaign thought they had the nomination wrapped up, they would not be attacking Sanders. They will need his supporters in November to beat the Republican nominee.
Sanders has also turned up the heat, challenging Clinton to a debate in New York. The pressure seems to be working, and it appears that both sides are close to a date and location. If Sanders were no longer a threat there would be no New York debate talks.
Despite the media narrative, Bernie Sanders does have a path to victory. The media is doing everything they can to spin for Clinton. One example is John King reporting on CNN that he has run the numbers and if Bernie won the rest of the races with 55% of the vote he would not catch Clinton. Why did King pick 55%? Maybe it has something to do with Nate Silver showing how Sanders would catch Clinton with 56% of the remaining vote.

This shit continues! Trump! Trump! Trump! Clinton is 'inevitable.' Trump! Trump! Trump!
It is surreal.
Sanders wins 6 of the last 7 states with smashing margins and that incredible momentum just disappears into the black hole oblivion of the Corrupt Media.
Well, it tells us SOMETHING. They are shit scared of Sanders. Really and truly. The Corporate Media and their masters are SCARED.
