1. Mike will get it done.

[zackymilly]

26. lol

[Red Oak]

42. HaHa That's funny

Eom

[apcalc]

2. Yup me too.

[NewsCenter28]

6. I soooo hear ya and feel ya king

Exactly the same circumstances and feelings for me here. Warren espouses pretty much exactly what Bernie is saying but in an electable fashion. If we rallied around her right now, we'd be headed towards a sweeping victory. But, alas, we seem to want to lose instead.

I. Just. Don't. Know. What. To. Do.

Kicked and recommended, btw.

[Kingofalldems]

3. They'll bury Sanders and bury us.

[NewsCenter28]

7. exactly-n/t

[ChubbyStar]

9. I say no fear

I am a long shot gambler and I have proven to you that I can play the house, don't fret my friend. Anybody Blue no matter who, is gonna mow down tRUMP at the eighth pole. The only burial we should be concerned with is Donnie boy. I have a shovel ready.

[cwydro]

24. I bet you never thought impotus would win either.

Many here didn’t.

[ChubbyStar]

37. Sorry I really have nothing to say to you

I was talking to my buddy King, I share with him because he is my friend. I will happily kick his thread though.

[cwydro]

40. Oh, well.

Thing is, you just did.

[Butterflylady]

47. That's rude!!!!!!

[cwydro]

66. No worries.

Par for the course.

[Progressive dog]

14. Yes they will

They'll bury any hope for the survival of democracy in the new world order. Putin and Trump will have their way.

[pistdem]

4. Me too.

I have seen things about BS, too. While they may not bother me that much, they will bother the voters we need to defeat Trump. That stuff is the tip of the iceberg from what I have seen.

[Hoyt]

5. Well, at least this time we can get prepared for a devastating loss election night.

[HarlanPepper]

72. I've already been making preparations

The Trump super recession and economic collapse will be on the menu for his second term.

[Mr.Bill]

8. Depressed? Not me.

I'm just getting started.

[Sloumeau]

10. Feeling Blue? Don't worry...

Repeat after me, just like in the Exorcist...

"The power of Joe Biden compels you!"
"The power of Joe Biden compels you!"
"The power of Joe Biden compels you!"
"The power of Joe Biden compels you!"
"The power of Joe Biden compels you!"
"The power of Joe Biden compels you!"
"The power of Joe Biden compels you!"
"The power of Joe Biden compels you!"
"The power of Joe Biden compels you!"
"The power of Joe Biden compels you!"

[evertonfc]

11. 20% of southern Democrats will not vote for

Sanders. Democrats over 65 that percentage may be higher.

[lees1975]

17. Bull

[cwydro]

43. I truly doubt he'll get many votes in the south.

I’ll sit here and wait to be proven wrong.

[Kurt V.]

12. if the sanders is making you petrified and you haven't been for the last 3 years,

we have a big problem in America

[Kingofalldems]

13. Sanders doesn't make me petrified.

4 more years of Trump does.

[Kurt V.]

18. which you think sanders will do. it would be helpful if ppl analyze the current electorate. its

changed dramatically since 2010.

[Butterflylady]

50. So.........

[Kurt V.]

53. Climate change, which the moderate candidates are not up to speed, is one example.

law and order is another. the emergency of income inequality yet another. on and on.

[Progressive dog]

20. Losing with Sanders is what petrifies me.

Trump is moving up in the polls now, just as Putin starts his interference in favor of Bernie for the nomination. We know that Putin considers Bernie the weakest candidate against Trump. Putin won last time, we shouldn't give him the opportunity again. We might not have another chance to select our own leader if we lose to Trump and Putin again.

[emmaverybo]

28. [phone]

[Kurt V.]

31. see 18. also putin doesn't see sanders as the weakest candidate against trump. he is trying to

divide dems b4 the convention. Its working btw

[tecelote]

45. +1

You're correct. The proof is right here.

[lees1975]

15. Take heart

Trump is going to lose, no matter who the Democrats nominate, that is, if the party will stay united behind its nominee and turn out to vote. Trump has his base. It will be good for about 58-60 million popular votes and maybe 200 electoral votes, maybe but I wouldn't count on it going that high. His job approval is only over 40 in "adjusted" polls that include the influence of "factors" like the economy, etc, in calculating the percentages. The polls that just use rolling data show him at less than 40. And that's job approval. There are people who approve of the job he's doing but who won't vote for him. I approved of George H.W. Bush back in '92, but I thought Clinton would do a much better job, and he did.

There's too much time between now and the election for the orange headed buffoon not to do more stupid things to lose votes, like pardoning Rod Blagogevich. That's gonna bite him. He won't be able to resist getting his russian collaborating buds out of jail, so he pardons Manafort and Stone. He's trailing all the Democrats still in the race by totals outside most polling's margin of error.

[emmaverybo]

30. The economy is good enough for enough people. Why would they want an economic revolution?

Would they not fear exactly that?

[Kurt V.]

33. the economy is good enough for ppl that vote. Poor ppl don't vote with any regularity.

Sanders is trying to tap into that. thats 1 in 8 Americans

[emmaverybo]

34. Absolutely. That is the irony of democracy. More will come out to stop Bernie in swing states than

the disenfranchised his supporters can get to the polls. And the homeless? And is it the poor who believe in Bernie’s revolution?

[Kurt V.]

35. the poor generally don't give a fuck who the president is. if he or any candidate can crack that

it would mean a lot of new voters

[Butterflylady]

54. Have you ever taken a good look at trumps cult?

Some of them look like they don't have 2 pennies to rub together yet they are all decked out in trump wear.

[Autumn]

16. Donald Trump ran against the most vetted woman in the world. How did that work out?

[Kingofalldems]

19. This time they actually have something.

Video everywhere. It will be a disaster.

[Autumn]

21. They have no more on Bernie than anyone else. His socialism isn't the big deal people think it is.

[Kingofalldems]

25. His equating the US with Nazis is a big deal.

[Qutzupalotl]

27. Not true.

32. Hacked. She was robbed.

Voting machines that flip votes, the way the R’s always do it...and by Russia

We have no paper backup here in PA. The exit polls night of the election, nor any polls ahead of it ( including the night before) ever showed Trump within even 5 %.

Yet curiously he came out ahead...JUST ENOUGH to avoid a recount.

And that happened in a few state...

Who did I actually vote for? I don’t know.

[Autumn]

41. Hacked by who? Bernie Bros or Russia?

[Sloumeau]

38. She got 2.9 million more votes than he did. nt

[Autumn]

39. Yes she did. Al Gore won too. But we don't go by the popular vote. And she was still the most

vetted woman to ever run for any seat. Senate or any other.

[radius777]

65. Hillary was the first woman nominee of a major party

having to deal with sexist media coverage and being actively targeted by Russia, Wikileaks, BoB'ers, etc.

Yet she still would've won easily (as predicted by most polls) if not for Comey's stunt 11 days before election day.

[Butterflylady]

56. And Sanders ran against Hillary

How did that work out.

[Autumn]

59. He lost. That's doesn't wipe out the fact that she was the most vetted woman ever. There

are a lot more opponents he's facing. And he's gained a lot of ground with crucial voting blocks he didn't have before. He and Biden are almost even with the Black vote and Bernie is way ahead with Latinos.

[onetexan]

22. Now is not the time to be depressed but to keep our chin up and fight like hell

since our lives in a free nation depend on it.

[cwydro]

23. You just know that they can't wait to use that video of him in his underwear drinking vodka...

and making jolly in The Soviet Union back in the day.

That’s all it’ll take. Never mind the “essays.”

It’s very worrying.

[Meowmee]

69. They will prolly also use

The video from the last debate where he started screaming I am a democratic socialist etc. But I think there will be much worse than that topic.

[VarryOn]

29. I'm fairly convinced the nomination is his, and now I worry about the House. Nt

[Sloumeau]

36. I don't blame you one bit. nt

[tiredtoo]

44. Vote Blue no matter who.

And"you have nothing to fear but fear itself". FDR i think.

[bucolic_frolic]

46. This is a defining moment for Democrats

We have to articulate a modern version of what the party stands for relative to patriotism and what that means. We will be stronger for it. It will help us in November if we delineate how we differ from the Repugs and convince the public of those boundaries.

Do you want democracy, or do you want dictatorship? And candidate who can't draw that line in similar concept but softer words by November is not worth our time. We win by standing tall for democracy, the way our great Democratic presidents did.

[bucolic_frolic]

55. Dictators want a weak Democratic Party

They want our elections between Trump and a weak Democrat who can't win or who they can easily control if something goes wrong. That way they have something on both of them.

We need a strong candidate committed to actual democracy! Voting rights. FDR's four freedoms! Not running a sideshow for their own businesses, or an alternative form of government that only works well in small northern European countries. Actual Democracy!

[warmfeet]

48. If he is the successful nominee you may want to consider

supporting him. The alternative is Trump. Have fun with that thought.

[Kingofalldems]

57. I always vote Dem.

I voted for McGovern too.

[PatrickforO]

51. Based on today's news about Russian trolls 'helping' Bernie,

I'd say take this tweet with a grain of salt. Bernie is fine. Any of our candidates are fine. All can win.

[Evolve Dammit]

58. Amen. It's the primary season folks. Stop the fucking panic.

[totodeinhere]

60. You really think that trump can beat any of our candidates?

I don't. I'm optimist.

[myohmy2]

61. you're...

...worrying way too much...Bernie has been vetted, many times,

...he was vetted only a couple nights ago, called for the ten thousandth time a 'Democratic Socialist' in front 20 million voters, yet the People keep coming...

...they keep coming to his rallies, they keep coming to his events, they keep supporting him financially and yes, they will keep voting for Bernie all the way to the Presidency...

...Socialist, Schmosalist, THE PEOPLE DON'T CARE!

...they LOVE Bernie...they know Bernie's as honest and steady as the day is long and is only offering policies and programs that most of the world has adopted and implemented and considers normal and acceptable...policies and programs a majority of Americans want and need...

...and they absolutely understand that trump's a slimy pathological liar and as crooked and corrupt as a 3 dollar bill...

...stop worrying, step back, think of what a President Sanders will accomplish and enjoy the ride...

...trust me, no problem, Bernie will do it...

[Blue_Tires]

62. Don't look at me, I'm trying to warn folks (again)

[Cicada]

63. The Republican Party will soon die as a national party

The youngest 40% of those eligible to vote favor Dems over Repubs by almost two to one. That is an overwhelming unprecedented margin. The young have low rates of voting but with time they become middle aged and vote. Pew has found these people are not growing more conservative as they age. Not at all. So Trump May win or he may lose but pretty soon the Republican Party will cease to be a national political party.

[Ron Green]

64. If the voters of this country elect Donald Trump over Bernie Sanders,

that’s the country we deserve. We’ll have to fix it from the bottom up (which is what we should be doing more of anyway.)

[greenjar_01]

68. They were successful in their ops

And that's all I'm gonna say about that.

Trump will hold all three branches of government the day after election day. What happens after that is anyone's guess, but I know one group who won't accept responsibility.

[HarlanPepper]

73. Yes see post 71

[greenjar_01]

74. Like I said

A successful op.

[Meowmee]

70. Agree

Dem party is committing suicide with this candidate if it happens. And they have changed little that caused the problems last time , caucuses, open primaries in several states, starting with the wrong states, a year of debates, debates during primaries, too many candidates, candidates who are not dems running and more. And allowing a divisive, non declared dem who attacks the party to run again.

[Devil Child]

71. Where you are petrified myself and others and invigorated!

[Kingofalldems]

75. I'll bet.

[ebbie15644]
