Thought it would be smarter politically for him to give a speech like Hillary did in New Hampshire. It's a good opportunity to look gracious.

Now Hillary can own the stage...so good for us!

2. Yes

Also strange that he completely doesn't mention South Carolina and goes straight to Super Tuesday.

3. He must be chaffed! He still hasn't acknowledged her win in Iowa.

I saw this on the main pages--how he is addressing his supporters:

4. That's laughable

He needed to win this state to have ANY chance, because she's going to clean his clock in the southeast.

11. I agree!

I think Bernie has actually begun to believe that he will be the leader of a revolution though

Back to busting a few moves around the house with my honey and a craft IPA!

17. "Clean his clock"...well said!

5. That's it? WTF? I wonder if he's sent out his email pleading for money yet.

[George II]

6. BINGO - the email just went out, begging for $3.00. Can't believe that campaign.

7. Nothing they do would surprise me

Nothing they do would surprise me

They're slime

8. Never mind...he's making a speech

and he chose to do it in an open air amphitheater, which makes it sound like he is speaking on a police megaphone from 30 years ago.

Also, the sun isn't doing him any favors.

9. Bernie Sanders is feeling burned. nt

10. Bernie's talking now. Remember in 08 when Obama spoke

and something he said about the race or Republicans made the crowd boo? Do you remember what he said every time that happened? I do. He said 'No no no don't boo. VOTE!' Every time. We grew to expect hearing that and would end up applauding the reminder. Such class.

Yeah, Bernie doesn't do that. He seems to relish the booing, like it's a game. Except when a big crowd gets riled up like that, if it's never tamped down that attitude will grow on its own.

12. "Don't Boo Vote!" President Obama is all Class and Practicallity.. the other guy not so

much.

#WeDidIt!

13. Cha- Now there's new video of his camp booing Hillary again today

He could easily address this if he wanted to. Just tell staff to get the word out in the venue! It's not like they shouldn't expect it. It happened in Iowa and NH, now NV!

[Cha]

14. It would only be the smart thing to do.. address it. It wasn't smart of the berniebros.. just

shows why they lost.

Oh yeah, Iowa.. I didn't hear about NH.. they won for cripes sake!

Gracias for that, Rose!

[Walk away]

15. What! Not demanding a recount?

[jmowreader]

16. They're demanding the results be overturned

[Treant]

18. They've lost it.

The sour grapes thing is understandable, but to throw out the actual votes of actual voters is unconscionable.

Lemme guess (I'm not going to look), they're blowing a few cases of normal caucus confusion and chaos up into a grand conspiracy?

[jmowreader]

19. Exactamundo, Treant

Apparently, the last GOP president didn't destroy the country well enough to suit them...so they are backing the least electable presidential candidate of all time.

[Treant]

20. Lovely.

Did we discuss oddities in the New Hampshire Primary and say that these should invalidate the election?

Nope.

I'll guarantee that, by Sunday afternoon, there's a reason South Carolina shouldn't count. Probably because they're not "Real Democrats" because SC hasn't gone Dem in the generals for quite some time or some such.
