Hillary given a gift by rabid BS fanatics in Cali

I predict that California will swing against BS after what happened in L.A.

Not only is it the final nail in the coffin, but his image is permanently and irreversibly damaged. No VP, no nothing. He needs to go back where he came from right after he concedes.

Thanks Bernie Bros in Cali, you're Hillary's best ally

but I wonder whether he still has his eye on HHS, which is what he really wanted to do after the 2008 election.

In any event, whether there will be a challenge or not will depend on Bernie's behavior from now through November, IMO. Right now, things are not looking good for him.

Jane and the rest of his campaign team. They are doing him no good service whatsoever.

In the final analysis though, it's always falls right on the candidate's shoulders. The lack of judgment he has shown in this campaign is striking and proves that he should be nowhere near the WH.

OTOH, the silver lining for HRC is that this same lack of judgment has many voters re-thinking Bernie's candidacy.

Between BS and DT, they have really brought out the creeps from under the rocks. While I'm sure the majority of BS supporters are rationale, good people, he has allowed his campaign to be taken over by the vocal far, far left minority. They have tainted his image and he has done nothing to reign them in or disassociate his campaign from them.

As the L.A. images of jeering, sneering Bros. and their bullhorns go viral, I expect the same kind of swing in Hillary's favor.

Most people don't like nastiness and negativity.

https://twitter.com/SAConScene/status/728388122304598016

Hillary supporters don't need to "create scandals out of non issues.." BS does that all on his own.

They're only "non issues" because his fans don't care what he does.. the hypocrisy is stunning..

A Conscience of Convenience

Progressives supporting Sanders compromised their values when they turned their backs on the gun control movement by making excuses for Bernie's five votes against the Brady bill and his vote to give gun manufacturers immunity. Suddenly their deep concern for all the moms and pops who sell guns now trumps the lives of thousands of potential victims.

Progressives who refuse to vote trampled on their own values when they decided all corporations were evil except gun manufacturers. They were so righteous in their beliefs that they condescendingly attacked the parents and families of the Sandy Hook victims by accusing them of being exploited by Hillary Clinton. Do those Progressives think they are the only ones with the privilege to use the political system to affect change? Do they see everyone else as too naive to see they are being manipulated? It appears that way to many of us.

They're nothing if not hypocritical.. Oh Jaysus!

These disgruntled progressives criticize Pres. Obama's efforts to implement environmental controls and the agreements he has pushed world leaders to sign. Yet, dumping nuclear waste from Vermont in a small dusty Texas town against the wishes of its citizens is acceptable to them. That Sierra Blanca is an impoverished Latino community without agency, the very reason it was selected, is of little consequence to them. Once again the irony escapes them that the Bernie who denounces environmental racism is the same Bernie who successfully fought against allowing the citizens of Sierra Blanca to decide the fate of the dump.

burnie would never have made a decent potus.. We'll win without them anyway.. they're the type to sit home on their thumbs while stamping their little feet.

People leaving the rally were forced to cross through a narrow channel where they were cornered by an angry mob of idiot "protesters," who screamed in their faces through bullhorns, including screaming obscenities, and just generally being threatening, nasty, and stupid, and frightening small children.

You can see several videos and photos for yourself at the final link below. The free hugs guy comforting the crying child is not with the bullies.

(To my knowledge Sander's has yet to attempt to contain or calm the crazy subset of rabid fans. I assume he will continue to go around fanning the flames.)

I think he's just as bad as Palin and his fanatical deranged supporters are like the Teabaggers.

They disgusted me in every way. They looked like the mob screaming at black people entering highschool when schools became integrated. That's how I'll always see them in that moment. Just disgusted.
