What do you do?

This team just doesn't get it. They think they have Tom Brady as their quarterback and can cheat his way to a win.

In 2010 the Philadelphia Eagles pulled off a miraculous comeback by scoring four unanswered touchdowns against the New York Giants, including a 65-yard game-winning punt-return touchdown as the clock expired.


As an Eagles fan, I'll take any excuse to post this.

And the delegates pledged to Clinton don't count either. Unless they change to Sanders.

At first the Sanders campaign complained that the super delegates are undemocratic

Now only the super delegates are preventing Hillary from declaring victory immediately; if only the pledged delegates counted Sanders would already be mathematically eliminated. There are fewer Pledged delegates left to be contested than Sanders needs to win the majority.

Now the only way Sanders can win is to flip superdelegates and everyone knows that's not going to happen.

The whole super delegant affair is become a great example of Sanders' hyprocacy.

Trump leads Bernie in primary votes - has won the Republican primary - and had multiple establishment candidates against him!

Bernie hasn't managed to do that running against a lone candidate!

Bernie has campaigned against the billionaire class - and the opposition party nominated exactly "a billionaire"! Who is beating Bernie!

I think I'll stick with Hillary - she's beating both of them!!! NOW!
