A question about Super-Ds.

Real Clear Politics and MSNBC now has BS Super-D count down to 39.

I know that a SD from the Virgin Islands dropped BS a couple of days ago bringing the count down to 40. Now it is down to 39. Does anyone know who else dropped Bernie.

3. I'm not sure, but the continued harassment of SD's continues.

I was looking at Senator Tammy Baldwin's Facebook page this morning. They're so nasty to her. She's a strong, solid, amazing person and very liberal Democrat. It sickens me what they are doing to these people.

One of my former Facebook friends was one of these monsters. When she posted demanding that Baldwin lose her seat because of her support for Clinton, that was when I blocked her. Done. Bye, Felicia.

Emmett Hansen II, the Democratic National Committeeman for the U.S. Virgin Islands, decided to shift his support to Clinton after a weekend briefing on her plans for U.S. territories that followed months of dissatisfaction with Sanders’ lack of concrete positions.

Hansen is the first Sanders superdelegate to publicly shift his support to Clinton.

We need those names so we can try an talk some sense into them. Perhaps, invite them to a party in classroom and teach them some arithmetic.

7. No, we need to leave them alone. Let it be a clear distinction between sides.

Although I would like to see a list, I would love to donate to whoever is running against them in their next election.

8. Agreed. From a practical standpoint, it won't matter.

If someone wants to stick with Bernie as a protest vote, so be it.

Go down to the list, sort twice by Endorsement, and the Sanders ones bubble to the top. Or just sort it and find the Sanders section.

Note that 1 of the 40 (per their list) is Sanders himself.

At the number of Sanders people who don't know or don't understand that there is a difference between government and the Democratic Party and they are not one and the same. Mainly that the party operates under adopted rules that conform with the law. And government operates according to laws. Sanders may have won a state's popular vote but a Senator sho is a SD is not bound to vote for Sanders because of the results of a party-run primary. The primary is not a governmental election.

chairwoman actually said "you are a government worker" blah, blah, blah.

Yes, many of the BS supporters have no clue and think the party rules are government rules and the party is administered by the gubament.
