The extinction of the dinosaurs and Amelia Earhart's disappearance.

[jcmaine72]

Just two tragedies from the past on a continuously shrinking list that Bernie and his supporters haven't been blamed for....yet.

Like it or not, Bernie is the favorite to win the primary right now. There's no other Democratic candidate here who has been as raked over the coals as Bernie has. What happens if Bernie wins the nomination? Will the pitchforks and torches finally be set aside, or are we destined to be confronted by posts engaging in Reagan-era red-baiting and thinly veiled accusations that Bernie is a Putin/Russian stooge and lickspittle right up until Election Day?

Just curious.

1. stooge and lickspittle

nah... just useful idiot.

Putin is pulling tricks to help Bernie win the nomination because he thinks (and he is correct) that Bernie will be the easiest for Trump to beat in the fall.

2. Frankly, I believe that Vlad

would be happy with either one in the WH.

IMO, he's hedging his bets.

3. Yeah, okay

4. Ironic.

Considering that President Obama and Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi and other Democrats have been blamed for what Republicans do.

Remember "Thanks, Obama"? No? Just curious.

5. Who said BS is a dinosaur?!

I thought dinosaurs were extinct.

6. The equation of Sanders with dinosaurs is correct. n/t.

7. This anti Sanders sentiment from democrats reminds me of how religions, particularly the Catholic

church have responded to change. As society changes our institutions need to reflect that. The orthodoxy was challenged by the loss of the latin mass and other changes that many of the faithful were loath to accept. Unless you want an ever contracting pool of purists you have to morph with the times.

I believe Sanders positions on the urgency on the need for economic change challenges some of more moderate factions found in the large tent that is the democratic party. Sometimes it's easier to spot differences over similarities.

I'm behind our nominee. Lord I'm not keen on Bloomberg.

8. Really, really, really time to come down off the cross

and yes, the irony is intended.

An effective leader is what we are looking for. If Bernie is IT, his supporters need to stop trying to defend and promote him as a martyr.

9. Agree, but many Sanders supporters see themselves as victims

and are reeled in by the promises of a candidate who will solve all their problems and do it lickety split.
All they have to do is attend a rally and the magic will happen.
