I think of it as more a repudiation of the leftmost parts of the party- maybe an excision of sorts. And again, I will admit I am part of that leftmost group of Democrats. If I need to be put out I can accept that... but I'm still voting Clinton in the GE, because I ain't living through a Trump administration!

My Bernie sign is now out of the front yard and in the garage right by the Gore and Obama ones (I save them). Just put it there five minutes ago. Now, bed.

Comparing apples and oranges. A lot of Bernies wins were in caucuses where fraud isn't as easy to Skwmom Apr 2016 #14

That's not a serious statement. Renew Deal Apr 2016 #15

+1, It's like la la land around here !! uponit7771 Apr 2016 #39

Hilary's win tonight will NEVER be seen as clean or honest azurnoir Apr 2016 #16

To who? Renew Deal Apr 2016 #20

I am guessing by the Bernie followers on DU and Reddit!!! Walk away Apr 2016 #67

The establishment usually has a hard time recognizing the "others" accomplishments uponit7771 Apr 2016 #41

Thank you Still In Wisconsin. pnwmom Apr 2016 #38

I don't think it will be that hard. Important thing for Bernie supporters is to acknowledge Still In Wisconsin Apr 2016 #44

Wow - thank you, Still In Wisconsin! calimary Apr 2016 #56

Same thing with Florida. This is why he can't catch up. She's won all the big states so far. pnwmom Apr 2016 #35

Meaningless. Did she win 7x more delegates tonight than he did? cherokeeprogressive Apr 2016 #36

Did she? Maybe. But it's true that tiny caucus states do have a disproportionate share, pnwmom Apr 2016 #40

Each state should have 1/50th of a share, with DC being the scale tipper. cherokeeprogressive Apr 2016 #43

Hah! I understand the concept perfectly well. And I disagree with you that it should require pnwmom Apr 2016 #46

That's beyond goofy. nt Codeine Apr 2016 #72
