Why? They lost. Even if you change the rules they lose.

I just wish Hillary stood for something. Or that she had a clue about what social class is.

Me too. I have to vote for her, though.

Changing the rules, like they did on the fly at the Nevada convention to make sure Hillary won in spite of herself and her lazy-ass no-showing delegates.

No they didn't. The rules changed after 2008. Hillary was never going to lose Nevada. She beat Obama too because she knew the system. Nothing changed.

I'm a Bernie guy. Many Bernie supporters hate Hillary. Alot. When Hillary gets to the 2382 delegates necessary to win the dem nominstiin, will Bernie throw his support to Hillary and tell his supporters to vote for her? I will vote for her, but I would anticipate that many Bernie supporters wont vote for Hills.

Bernie isn't a nice guy by all accounts but he's still a politician. I imagine he'll put on a good enough show and bring over nearly all of his supporters. Hillary is lucky to not be running against a Kasich.

I'm starting to think that Sanders true end goal is the fracture of the Democratic Party. If you really think about it, his whole campaign has been an attack on the Democratic Party and he seems to be doubling down on those attacks. I'm starting to believe that his "political revolution" is about getting young people to leave the Democratic Party down the line and become Socialists(I know, he was only a Socialist for half his life. He's now a Democratic Socialist).

Quite honestly, he may think the best course of action to get that done is for Donald Trump to be elected President. Hillary is going to be an average to above average President like Obama, and most people are going to go about the next 8 years doing just fine with some highs and some lows, and then we'll remember Bernie like we do Rand Paul and other ideologues that don't really do much besides stir a discussion. However, if Trump gets elected, and he is the disaster he probably would be(until he gets impeached) you might get young people so fired up that they keep up the good fight for the ideas of Bernie past the election. It would be like a more extreme version of the emotional fights against Bush that galvanized a lot of people who suddenly got very silent when Obama basically did the same things in different ways.

So, it's an interesting choice for Bernie. The only way to have a lasting impact is to destroy Hillary Clinton. You can't be the "political revolution" guy and then at the end say "Yeah, the person I used as the example of why we need a political revolution is cool and you should vote for her" and stay relevant.

Its possible Brick. We will see if he is allowed if that is indeed what he wants to do. The media would have to decide between status quo or covering a major change in our state of the union, if you also consider Trump blowing up stuff on the other side.

Truth.

There are a few social movements going on right now that I suspect are being either overtly or covertly pushed by socialists and international communists. Sorry to drop some Mc Carthyism so early in the morning.

I don't think so, but its possible.. Most of us Bernie Backers are not party affiliated, we don't like dems or Republicans.. Clinton is in forva very rude awakening if she thinks his supporters are going to support her if Bernie concedes or doesn't run as an Indy.

In that case the Democratic Party was right to shut down Bernie.

Dirty politics is the reason why we aren't supporting either party, so they really fucked themselves going forward with young voters and Hillary v Trump is a cointoss..she could very possibly get beat by a reality TV clown.

I was never a dem, but have chose the " lesser of two evils" in the past..those days are done, there is no difference between Hillary and Jeb..both were bought n paid for..I'm writing Bernie in and let the chips fall where they may.

That's why the Democratic Party really doesn't care about you though. If a most of the Bernie supporters aren't even Democrats then they should shut him down. If Bernie wants to take all those people and start his own party then he should.

Or maybe Bernie wants to win. Why did Hilary hang on so long in 2008? Supposedly was waiting for a video scandal from the Rev. Wright Church to show up. Bernie could be waiting for the FBI investigation to blow-up.

And the Democratic Party should care about Bernie voters. Otherwise they will not win a general.

that's a pretty dumb thought considering he could run for President as an independent and give Trump a better chance, but he will not do that. Trump stands NO chance to win the presidency without a Bernie run.

That turns him into an enemy though of pretty much everyone but his die hard supporters. He will literally be blamed for Trump being the President.

Bernie destroys Trump in the polls, Hillary is neck n neck with him.

I post this as someone not supporting anyone. That is where I am at right now. But you are so sure in all of your posts about this. Yet Trump somehow proves everyone wrong at every turn. I watched his Fox interview last night. That is not a guy that thinks he will lose, wants to lose or is not going to pull anything to win.

Maybe we need Bernie, Trump, Hillary, and some run of the mill Republican to all go for the Presidency. Then we can have 30% of the electorate decide which of these bad choices is worthy of further destroying America.

What rule is this? Could still easily have an electoral winner. They just would not have as many popular votes.

Rick, help me out here.

How exactly do you determine six months before the president is even decided that she will be an "average to above average president, just like Obama"? Wouldn't that be based almost entirely of one's own ideology and values? Not all people's ideology falls in line with the Republocrats. In fact, most people's doesn't. They are just told that there is no other option.

_________________

If the vote is split fairly evenly there is no chance someone will get to 270 with 3 or 4 people in the race. If no one gets to 270 the House will select a president from the 3 or 4 candidates. Republicans would LOVE that. That's why it really has to be a 2 party system.

Doesn't matter if the percentages are diluted, just who is carrying the states. If Sanders and Clinton ran, Trump would likely win. If it was Sanders, Clinton, Trump and Cruz then likely Clinton. Only way it would work for the House is if Sanders took a bunch of states to keep Clinton from 270 while Trump also fell short.



Would need to form coalition governments if it was not two party. Seems like it works in Europe.
