Bottom Line .. newcomer and Loser of the 2016 Democdratic Primary Election doesn't

get to dictate terms.

The CBC has been in the Democratic Party for a long time and they've earned our trust.

"We passed a resolution in our caucus that we would vehemently oppose any change in the superdelegate system because members of the CBC might want to participate in the Democratic convention as delegates but if we would have to run for the delegate slot at the county level or state level or district level, we would be running against our constituents and we're not going to do that,” said Butterfield. “But we want to participate as delegates and that's why this superdelegates system was created in the beginning, so members would not have to run against their own constituents."

The opposition to open primaries is based on the fear that allowing independent or Republican voters to participate in Democratic primaries would dilute minority voting strength in many places

And, I would like to take another opportunity to thank them and their Constituents for Voting for Hillary! And, President Barack Obama.. we owe them our Country! They get out and VOTE!

Mahalo, HS.. the CBC makes perfect sense~

No one has mentioned his giant ego.. I guess it's understood..

Sanders has basically suggested that a party that includes civil rights legends like John Lewis and longtime economic and environmental battlers like Barbara Boxer has been far less interested than he is in racial, economic and environmental justice.

BS is the big cheese and no one else matters.. only him.

I don't see how people can read this and not get sick of him.

Mahalo, Blue, for the excerpts.

I want to know why the **** his campaign isn't ENDING when all the Primaries are OVER..

Does somebody need to hand him a damn calendar?


In making his list a set of demands, Sanders put himself in the awkward position of a distant second-place finisher insisting on fealty from the winner.

Bingo, burnie.

Mahalo, Walk away.

"Now, after he has been decisively beaten in total votes — by nearly 4 million.. "

In essence, Sanders is inflicting his “political revolution” on the Democratic party, which up until now has treated him with extraordinary respect and deference – giving him chairmanship of important Senate committees, for example

Now, he is demanding – extorting – changes in how the Democrats run their primary – essentially to be more like the Republicans (and how did that go this year?) – eliminating Super Delegates, opening up all primaries to non-Democrats, and, oh yes, removing Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman-Schultz from her position as DNC chair.

As a registered Democrat who leans progressive but also hugs a more moderate, centrist position, I object.
.

BS doesn't like the Super Dels because they didn't go for him.. if he had as many as Hillary we wouldn't be having this conversation. That's terribly self-centered of him.

BS wants to ruin the Democratic Party and this is his big ** as he's going out the door.

Good article.. Mahalo, Iaaa~ I'm not worried about Hillary not winning though.. no matter who the repubs end up with. And, I don't think she needs to give BS any concessions.

This one who's on air @ the Prospect!


Second, Chan Hodges noted that Gabbard has repeatedly criticized and mocked the Obama Administration for not saying we’re at war with “Islamic extremism”–something even Sanders opposes. “While I believe that no elected official should be above critique –lest we devolve into a cult of personality over substance –our district elected President Obama with a 70% majority, and a respectful discussion in an appropriate forum reflects both our district and Hawaiian values,” Chan Hodges noted.

"While I believe that no elected official should be above critique –lest we devolve into a cult of personality over substance –"

Why I do believe she's referring to BS.

Yay, Shay Chan Hodges!
