Did you know that Hillary will never win the nomination?

Apparently, the nomination is now,"not a winner takes all contest"! Bernie's surrogate Congressman Raul Grijalva of AZ just explained on MSNBC that we can forget about Bernie getting out of the race because Bernie has won all of his supporters and he is going to keep them. The Convention is not going to be about announcing the winner of the Democratic nomination...it will be about acknowledging Bernie and his supporters without whom the Democratic party will not be able to win the presidency. They want more control of the party.

Bernie keeps saying exactly what he is going to do but it's as if no one in the media believes him.

Sad.

Probably because Sandars says a lot of things that are not possible. And people think it's just "talk".

It will also be another Bernie Sanders FAIL, but it will be the Democratic Party’s fault.

all independents were exactly like them. That concept was fatally flawed from the start.

'Independent' means you don't belong to a political party, but it doesn't mean that all Independents are liberals.

the way his surrogates like tim robbins & sarandon insulted Hillary supporters was like they never expected for BS to win the nom.
