2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumThe beginning of the end of Bernie Sanders
Congratulations to Bernie for winning a neighboring, mostly white state, tailor-made for his message.
He was ahead while running downhill in very liberal and very white landscapes where it was easy to peddle the subtle smears.
Now he is going into the territories of POC and immigrant Hispanics who are not as susceptible to the anti-establishment memes and can see through the narratives without gullibly falling for them.
This is the end for Bernie Sanders. He will not have a significant victory after this and he will be conceding and endorsing Hillary Clinton on March 2.
He gave a good fight and served his purpose of not making Hillary's win appear like a coronation. He was very useful in that regard for the GE.
Get ready for Madam President. Your progressive alternative who will bring universal healthcare, college tuition relief and will do something about unbridled and reckless gun ownership. She will create opportunities for the long deprived. She will rein in abuses by the financial sector. She will protect a woman's right to choose, will have equal pay for equal work and a family leave act. She will protect LGBT rights but most of all, she will kick republican ass soundly to move the nation forward.
Let's all join in this historical march for our country where a woman breaks the glass ceiling once and for all.
Go Hillary !!!!!!!

Congrats, Bernie folks. We'll see you in Nevada and South Carolina!

(3,666 posts)Hillary is going to have to attack Sanders and his plans much more frontally. Some in the high brow media have been doing this, but Hillary has been pretty oblique. If he continues to get a relatively free ride, his message will resonate not just with the starry eyed but with anyone with aspirational longings for a democratic socialist utopia. Problem is it isn't going to happen. Not anytime soon, not in the USA. And it's really complicated by the fact that the Republicans are going to do nothing to help Hillary Clinton. They are not going to lay a hand on Sanders. They are praying we give them Sanders to run against. Of course, they have their Trump problem.....

(19,537 posts)NOT!!!!!
Trump or Cruz will appear to be more populist in those areas and more about protecting American jobs...
Seems like Sanders is ahead now in actual VOTERS who have cast their votes cumulatively of all states that have cast votes.
Counting your chickens too early? Or non-democratic system super delegates that most Americans hate as a symbol of anti-democratic system crap!)?

Ok. So it looks like Hillary is up in NV and SC by a large number, similar to Bernie's lead in NH.
I predict she wins both states but the numbers tighten up a bit.
I think the group of advocates Hillary dispacted to the South will get more attention in the coming days as we move towards the more southern and western states.

Go on home your mama's calling you.
Calico Cal, ya come tell me the news
Calamity's waiting for a way to get to her
Rosey red and electric blue
I bought you a paddle for your paper canoe.
Say you'll come back when you can
Whenever your airplane happens to land
Maybe I'll be back here too
It all depends on what's with you.
Woke up waiting for a windy day
Cat on I (?) since the first of February
Mama keeps saying that the wind might blow
But standing here I say I just don't know.
New ones come in as the old ones go
Everything's moving here but much too slowly
A little bit quicker and we might have time
To say how do you do before we left behind.
Calliope wail like a seaside zoo
The very last lately inquired about you
It's really very one or two
The first you wanted the last I knew.
I just wonder if you shouldn't feel
less concerned about the people unreal
The very first word is how do you do
The last go home your mama's calling you.
Calling you oo oo oo oo oo
Calling you oo oo oo
Calling you oo oo oo
Calling you oo oo oo
Calling you oo oo oo
Go on home your mama's calling you
Calling you oo oo oo
Go on home your mama's calling you

(222 posts)If Bernie gets a large majority of the PoC (mainly Hispanics), he has continued to rise on the minorities, while Clinton continues to fall. She is heavily depending on those "firewalls" to drop Bernie, but the problem is that Bernie has excellent organizations on ALL the critical states that counts (yes, Super Tuesday firewall that Clinton is counting on is already DOA due to at least two of the 11 states will go to Bernie for sure. Vermont is voting on ST, so....

(1,252 posts)A wise Beatle once said. Change is hard. The reason Bernie is winning is because the pain of not changing course in America is bigger than the fear of change.
It's time to give Democratic Socialism a try. Give peace a chance. Love thy neighbor. Be thy brothers keeper. Come together.
Peace, love and Bernie.

(5,018 posts)white people are susceptible to anti-establishment memes and are gullible... Minorities aren't. Except for those hard working whites.... Oh sorry not 2008. Unfortunately, minorities were really gullible that election, and the Clintons let them know it too.
I believe we'll get Hillary, a dog-whistling, corporatist, war mongering, bought and paid for shill as our nominee. Whoop de doo. Wish I could be as excited about it as you.
Progressive alternative my ass. A moderate conservative that's "good enough" if you've already got yours.
I'm not happy that our country is a helluva lot more conservative than the Democratic electorate in New Hampshire, and Clinton will prove it well.
