Bernie supporters who are rigging this election. And don't forget Ed is a Super-Delegate who is set to take the decision out of the hands of the voters. Now that is what HE calls democracy.

and he is from the branch of the tree that supports the DLC and the Third Way-------------------in other words he is for the "Grand Bargain".

http://crooksandliars.com/john-amato/please-msnbc-cut-ed-rendell-and-not-soc

And Eddy, may I call you Eddy, the supporters of Senator Bernie Sanders, if and this is a big if, he does not get the nomination, we will be demanding some changes to the platform, because in its present form it supports almost everything that is aligned to the Third Way and DLC mantra, which is unacceptable, since 1992 and earlier.

We were told from the present administration that NAFTA was going to be re-opened, that did not happen, this time around it will be re-opened right along with every other "trade deal" give aways in the pipe line (TPP and TTIP) and those that have been passed.

It is about economics and what it is doing to this country and the "working class" and what the corporate suites and there version of inequality means

Maybe you missed a lot of school when they taught about three separate branches of US government. The Executive branch can get nothing done without the Legislative branch. Oh, Bernie doesn't know that either. he hasn't helped the first person running for a Democrat Senate seat. Without at least a Democrat majority in the Senate, nothing will get done.

Tue May 10, 2016, 11:42 AM
May 2016

I didn't miss very much school, and if you think, that attacking someone that doesn't support a Third Way, DLC candidate -------------

But first-----------------------

And has a added enjoyment for this conversation, lets talk about the House of representatives shall we-------------just for educational giggles.

Most budget items come out of the house first and then on to the senate, and then if there is a disagreement they go into conference, now I think my candidate likes to protect social security and medicare, and if I remember correctly from the book by Thomas Frank, Listen Liberals, Clinton's DLC and Third Way bunch wanted to do exactly what with social security-----------go after the NEW DEAL program and start the process to hand it over to the corporate suites-------------------the same bunch of corporate suites that had meetings behind close doors--------------haven't heard of Sanders going behind close doors, with corporate suites from Hedge Funds and Wall Street-----------lately


And has a special request to understand the educational value of controlling the Senate, lets talk about the U.S. Supreme Court-----------------

Have we heard anything about Citizen United from the Clinton campaign, I mean, she was the case study that was put before the U.S. Supreme Court--------------correct, because after all a corporation and anything else that isn't tied down is now considered free speech from a building on Wall Street or out in Kansas by two brothers or any other "social programs" to keep the shenigans of bribery going behind a shield?

I really would like to know her position on what and who, if she gets the nomination too put on this bench, at least I know that the white haired guy (Sanders) said that his litmus test for the position would be that they, the nominee to the bench, that if a case came before the court they would over turn Citizens United

And then lets talk about the "trade deals", but I am still trying to figure out who has a more principles on that Sanders or Clinton----------------I think I will stay with Sanders, at least he didn't flip flop and never crossed a picket line.

In your comments you mention support for the down tickets candidates, so did I forgot, how much money, did the Clinton campaign give to Debbie Wassermann -Schultz against her primary challenger by the name of Tim Canova?

Which side do you think Clinton supports, Schultz or Canova? Thats should be interesting------------its says a lot, in my opinion

I gave money to Canova, not to impressed with DINO's that represent Florida's 23rd district, and, I might add voted for fast track authority for the TPP along with 28 other democrats---------------nice huh? Looking out for the sovereignty of a country and it's citizens

Sanders supporters are trying to support "progressives" in both Chambers, that's are intentions.

Sanders is asking his supporters to put "progressives" like Zephyr Teachout for example in office and not individuals in the present Congress that co-sponsor legislation to let "loan sharks" that sell out to pay day lenders, or having members put forth legislation to gut and cut social security every chance they get, like the Representative from Maryland John Delaney.


And by the way Sanders gave money to Teachout for example and two others.

At least I see that the candidates that he supports on the down ticket--------------- support him------------------ which is the key in your question

Have a nice day ---------------reading history as a major was quite fun in school, next to art

Most of Bernie's supporters have never bothered to register to vote, much less vote. Now they want to tell the Democrat Party, and the millions of lifelong Democrats that they are causing problems. Fact is, it is those millions that are the base of the Democrat Party and will always be. We aren't bandwagon jumpers. Oh, about Rendell, when you have done something of a similar level with your lives, then you can tell him to sit down.

You would be surprised to know how many of us Bernie Supporters have been Dem voters for years. The powers-that-be in the Dem party have certainly done a less than stellar job of "running things!!" It's time for a long-overdue change!!!

Bernie without a doubt is the better Dem candidate who embodies Dem ideals and has not sold out to the corporations, banks and military-industrial complex.

Our country should be on its knees in thanks for having such a visionary Dem Presidential candidate!!!
GO BERNIE!!!!!! GO BERNIE!!!!!! GO BERNIE!!!!!!

Tue May 10, 2016, 12:22 PM
May 2016

a great party: and the only one that is for the general population:
the GOP are about business only.

One reason I don't like Sanders is that he always said he was
too good for the Dem's: now he wants to use it to become
President and all he does is bash it.

There is no such thing as the perfect party of millions and
millions.

Sanders people are the ones that need to change: they need
to start by voting in every election, knocking on doors, raising
money, and running for office.

I don't have much patience's for Sanders people who bash the party
that has given him access to Dem party ballot.

Go Hillary a loyal Dem party fighter for 30 years!!!

It almost seems as if they are deliberately saying things that will drive Sanders voters away from Clinton and the Democratic Party. Great strategy for winning in November, eh?
