Bernie Sanders Willing to Harm Hillary Clinton

[liberal N proud]

Defiant and determined to transform the Democratic Party, Senator Bernie Sanders is opening a two-month phase of his presidential campaign aimed at inflicting a heavy blow on Hillary Clinton in California and amassing enough leverage to advance his agenda at the convention in July — or even wrest the nomination from her.

While Mr. Sanders says he does not want Mr. Trump to win in November, his advisers and allies say he is willing to do some harm to Mrs. Clinton in the shorter term if it means he can capture a majority of the 475 pledged delegates at stake in California and arrive at the Philadelphia convention with maximum political power.

For weeks, some current and former Sanders campaign workers have privately acknowledged feeling disheartened about Mr. Weaver’s determination to go after the Democratic National Committee, fearing a pitched battle with the party they hope to support in the general election. The intraparty fighting has affected morale, they say, and raised concerns that Mr. Weaver, a longtime Sanders aide who more recently ran a comic book store, was not devoted to achieving Democratic unity. Several described the campaign’s message as having devolved into a near-obsession with perceived conspiracies on the part of Mrs. Clinton’s allies.

Democratic leaders said they wanted to do everything possible to avoid having Clinton-Sanders tensions send the Philadelphia convention into the sort of chaos they had expected to mar the Republican convention. So far, though, Mr. Sanders has not indicated that he would ask his delegates to support Mrs. Clinton, as she did in 2008 for Barack Obama.

Bernie Sanders cannot proclaim he is a Democrat, a Progressive, a Liberal, or a Socialist with this type of destructive intentions. He will destroy the country rather than swallow his pride. For that he can go straight to #%!!

1. Acting like a spoiled child. He will be lucky to have a seat at the back of the room in Philly

3. Speaking of which.. I like these Tweets..

Let's be perfectly clear. One campaign has declared that its intention is to override the primary results and steal the nomination.

This places them outside the Democratic Party tent, and such a campaign deserves zero voice at our convention.

2. He already has been and will continue to do so.. But Hillary will persevere.. she is stronger

than all the BS out there.

She will be our President. President Obama had a lot of enemies too.. but he fought them all off, including sanders.. and so will Hillary Clinton.

4. So what are we all willing to do to stop him in his tracks?

I'm all in for Hillary at this point. I'd like to inflict a lot of damage myself when it comes to Sanders. Maybe a little phone banking can bring that anti-democrat to his knees.

11. Phone banking

I know that if you go to the Hillary Clinton site, there is a place where you can get connected to phone bank for her.

5. They just want to squeeze the last paycheck out of the 'true believers.'

Everyone knows California has some rich, don't-give-a-shit liberals with deep pockets wanting to display their liberal bona fides.

A last cynical gasp.

Until the books and movie/television deals are signed!

6. Stay classy, Bernie!

9. He lost classy already

Now he is just in the gutter.

7. What a disappointment. But true to his "Revolution"

If you can't win honestly then you take it by force.

I have heard more former Bernie people saying recently, he's has really begun to show his true colors, and they aren't pretty.

He's turned off a lot of his former supporters and the more he stays in to be the spoiler, the more leverage he loses.

8. He can go straight to #%!! Not fast enough for me......

And he can take his Burlington College destroyer of a wife with him. Can Not Stand Them!!!!!

10. So he is not allowed to run his campaign through the primaries?

This is starting to get absurd. Sanders has every right to lay out his campaign through the last state primary, AND to take his message and his pledged delegates to the Convention in Philadelphia, to try to push for the inclusion of progressive values on the Democratic Party platform.

It is not going to be a pitched battle, not unless the DNC and Clinton campaign makes it so, by rejecting the values that the DNC *used to* represent.

And it is *not* a conspiracy theory to point out the *many* instances of election fraud and vote rigging by Clinton supporters in *many* state primaries.

Shouting out 'lala lala lala no nothing happened' does not mean that they never actually DID happen, no matter how deeply you want to bury your collective heads in the sand.

12. You are in a protected group

Time to go peddle your garbage in another forum.

[beachbumbob]

13. Lol..Sanders has become a caricature....and his followers a mob...

There are no conspiracies, there are voter suppression...the problems are following rules and sanders and his people don't think they have to....sanders legacy is in the dumpster...

15. Yawn.
