If you haven't noticed...thats exactly whats he's been doing

Or are we gonna ignore that west Virginia shellacing? And Bernie lookin good in California.

That's one state and he lost the other one that same night that had more delegates so it really amounted to a wash at best.

Like I said he has to do that AND win every state going forward.

I don't see why people want Bernie to drop out. The odds of him becoming the nominee are very slim but his campaign now is more about spreading the word and his ideas than winning in my opinion. Bernie staying in the race is a good thing. He may not win but he's continuing to spread a positive message that will hopefully resonate with voters for years to come. I'm sure he'll tell his voters to vote for Hillary in order to stop Trump when Hillary becomes the nominee.

I don't think the people who want him out support his ideas or want them to spread. Some people like things the way they are.

Thats not a reflection of my ideas. Its just what i gather from some of the responses I've heard.

Did someone here really compare "falling in line" with concentration camps?

I get annoyed whenever someone says, "I don't know why [candidate's name] is still in the race." People are following the rules and, if they have money to continue their campaign, why not?

Do people expect the 49ers to quit the NFL season after they're eliminated from the playoffs?

It's always just seemed like a condescending statement, telling someone who's losing to stop and questioning what their logic for trying is.

Change the convention rules if you don't like it.

If Bernie wins California.... there will be blood.

You said the same nonsense when you implied that she would lose your "so called" home state of New York. Stick to shoes and American cars champ.

He's just in love with this hypothetical this could happen scenario stuff.

He's really in to that. Like now that the RNC looks like it won't have a contested convention dude is all in on what if Bernie gets closer stuff.

lol..

Do da math...

If bernie beats hillary in pledged delegates, there's gonna be a BIG PISSED off electorate that's gonna see da super delegates are shilling for Clinton...with over 1,000 delegates still available? Yeah Hillary effed up.

Like I said you're really in to this IF this happens stuff.

Your list guarantees to have an "if" or an assumption in it.

I have no problem with Bernie continuing to fight. He mathematically has no chance to win, now if he tries some **** boy **** at the convention and doesn't rally around Hillary when she officially becomes the nominee, then we'll have a problem.

Unfortunately yes. These Bernie Sanders supporters are something else. Both him and them represent everything that's wrong with the Democrats right now....which is a lot of wishful thinking, no clear direction, and more importantly no real WINNING strategy. Just happy to be in the race and be seen type of dudes. Can't wait till I check all these individuals once Bernie Sanders drops out. Which he will do (drop out) and which I will do (check folks).

 

[deleted]

Yeah because that "fall in line" stupidity you kick is soooooooo beneficial

No, it wasn't a direct comparison. I know the difference.

Who you checking?

You're a funny guy. It's like a lot of you dudes think this is sports. You pick a side, and you have to bash the other side. No portion of my post to you was disrespectful or an attack on your personal character. They were all facts and observation.

You'd be better off responding to me with that, and not emotional stereotyping.

If u remove superdelegates Bernie has a DEFINITE chance to match Clinton.

god you're so stubborn...dont you Understand that da super delegates will essentially overturn da will of da voters if that happens, and Bernie is ahead of Hillary in pledged delegates? It'll disenfranchise da Democratic electorate, and if that happens either people will sit home or vote for Trump.

Yeah he does, if Bernie keeps hacking away till da july convention there's a chance she could be irreplaceably damaged..

To Me About Hillary’s Problems’
MATT WILSTEIN05.11.161:48 PM ET
On the heels of winning the Democratic presidential primary in West Virginia, a week after a triumph in Indiana, Bernie Sanders attempted to take a victory lap early Wednesday afternoon on MSNBC. But while host Andrea Mitchell did begin with acknowledgement of the senator’s wins, she was quick to throw cold water on any progress the distant underdog candidate might have made.
For one, Mitchell noted that Sanders came out of West Virginia with the same number of delegates as Hillary Clinton, once you consider the superdelegates, meaning the state did nothing to help him catch up. And secondly, she challenged his notion that he would be the better general election candidate by pointing to exit poll data in West Virginia that claims a third of his supporters there would actually vote for Donald Trump in the fall.

Love the way he handled msnbc 

 

[osh kosh bosh]

It was over for Bernie a long time ago.

 

[RustyShackleford]

Bernie is not going to match Hillary in pledged delegates. The demographics of West Virginia are nothing like Jersey of California.

Let's stop deluding ourselves as if he has a chance.

I have little problem with him staying in, there are many positives, but let us be honest too, there are negatives.

 

[ninjahood]

There's over 1000 delegates out there, ya keep dismissing that Bernie insurrection.. Hillary is da most unpopular Democratic presidential candidate since World War 2 :x

 

[osh kosh bosh]

Can't win the DNC nomination without black people.


It's been over for Bernie.

You can say da same about Hillary and young people/ men thou..

And this superdelegates situation is very real.

No it is not.

Nope women, old people and black people vote more consistently than young people.

combined with proportional delegate apportionment Hilary's lead is insurmountable.


It's just reality. It's been over.



Same thing happened Hilary vs. Barack. Hilary won 5 out of the last 7 states I think and it was over long before that.

Ninja is the master of fabrication.

Get used to this IF this and if that talk until the DNC I guess.

Da hope is in da hypothetical.
