I'm sorry, I just dont buy into the doom and gloom. For one thing, the more people learn about

bernies platform and the alternatives, the less viable a candidacy HRC is. I am starting to see the huge sockpuppet campaign as irrelevant - the best thing to do is ignore them, dont get into arguments with people pushing various memes that are obviously psychological warfare, just do what you need to do to get your point across. The truth will out.

I dont see someone who has been revealed as HRC has been winning the election. I just dont. She cant win.

the Hillary Clinton campaign knows this. She needs him out before that convention (and hopefully before the west coast), therefore the attempts by that campaign and the mainstream media to make that happen will continue and one effective weapon in the arsenal is to undermine the confidence of his supporters. People have to ignore this - it's all a mind game. And it's going to get worse with every passing day. The system as it is cannot afford to let a person like Bernie Sanders to get anywhere near that White House. Bernie has already gotten further than he was ever supposed to and that has the "fat cats" rattled. Don't let the psychological manipulation tactics get to us!

I just feel a calm resolve. To support Bernie. And not support Hillary.

Yes, she is a terrible candidate. Baggage, hawk, Third Way. FFS.

truth is if one looks around the workplace and community and talk to fellow Democrats ,union members,there is one-hell-of-a
lot of voters that don't like Hillary Clinton and the "don't like" phrase is being kind.
There are some pretty harsh names being given to Hillary and Queen ______________is one of them
If Hillary is the nominee,Real Democrats will stay home and if the Republican turn out is high Hillary will lose.

The Hillary campaign can spend millions and beg the younger voters but she will not win.

Note: Hillary will not win the Indiana Primary..she didn't win the state in 2008 and she will not win in 2016

I'm still Sanders but galled that he didn't build a plan for election fraud after Nevada. It keeps happening and Sanders has no alternate strategy as far as I can discern. I hold out hope that he knows something we don't.

this is the plan and yes, it works. it may seem a long shot - but not for bernie.

the billary and trump fixes are done and paid for - with no thanks to dws and the dnc and billions from superPACs for billary.

bernie's campaign would have to be spending campaign time and campaign money for attorneys and filings. he and his team are making a wise decision to keep from reacting and will be dealing with it later.

billary and the usurpers were counting on a reaction and resources spent on such at this time. but, it is not timely to do so: right now, we have a campaign to win the nomination and the ge in the fall. it is called 'keeping our eyes on the prize'.

have you ever competed in any type of competitive race before? you don't stop in the middle of the race to yell at someone because the the course is crooked or too steep or 'unfair'. plenty of time for that later.

so, take your ball and throw it back into the game.
