To All Bernie Supporters....(Please Read)

It is not over until we say it is over. It is not over until the "Fat Lady Sings". (Cliché). It is not over until one candidate has reached the requisite number of delegates. Please, PLEASE, Please.....Do Not Stop Donating, Volunteering, Phonebanking, talking with friends, family, your social networks, Remember, the media gave no coverage at first, then minimal and now is trying to Shut Him Out. The media is happy to accept his paid advertisements tho will not give any coverage otherwise.

This race is still on, still close and more states have not voted than have!!!

Please for our Nation's Best Future, for what our Founding Fathers envisioned please make a $27 donation if you are able to or volunteer to canvass or phonebank to other states or write a letter to the editor or do anything like post on your Facebook why you support Bernie.

I know, really today has been tough for us. Remember though, tomorrow is St. Patrick's Day, this is a Leap Year and I can see the signs for the GE---Sanders/Gabbard!!!!!!

Please everybody do your part!!!! This isn't over until we say it is at the Convention!!!!!

According to those figures, Bernie would need to win over 57 percent of the delegates the rest of the way.

About 40 percent of those delegates are from California and New York. Those are states that Hillary won quite comfortably in 2008.

It seems like it would take some major game-changing event for Bernie to pull out the victory, which is certainly possible.

Once they pass the TPP any change to make governments work for the people will result in a law suit from corporations.

I am very fearful that this whole thing has been about marginalizing the only candidate who is really against the TPP.

Even the shiny object that says he will go for a better deal on trade deals.

Tinkering is not going to do it.

They really want Americans to compete against people making $7 a day and those are the lucky ones.
A lot of these countries are lax on human trafficking, child-slavery, not to mention little to no worker and environmental protections, and corrupt handling of resources.

And the ability for corporations to sue governments for trying to improve the status quo.

So many have no idea what the TPP is really about. Once that agreement gets signed, good bye national sovereignty. Obama didn't manage to get that thing through in time and now there is one chance to stop it and that chance is Bernie Sanders.

if Sanders is simply there. List them all. For example, privacy and rights violations, tax cuts for the rich, money for horrible projects, privatization of the commons, oil subsidies!. With legislative acumen not Trump tantrums. leadership on wages, social security, taxation, health care.

Do you want to live?

Bernie can pull this off because Washington, Oregon and California are yet to vote.

Multnomah county has 3/4 of a million people, out of 4 million total. #2 is washington county, which votes pretty reliably blue as well.

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/ab/Oregon_Senate_Election_Results_by_County,_2014.svg/2000px-Oregon_Senate_Election_Results_by_County,_2014.svg.png

The GOP in OR is flailing because the populous areas are consistently progressive and getting moreso, but the Republicans need their base in the red counties- which leads them to nominate candidates that dont stand a chance.

And even when they nominate these "moderates", the GOP brand has such a bad rep here they still lose.

But I can not ignore that our state as a whole is barely blue... but yes getting bluer. When I first moved here it was red one year blue the next...

Aside from the Portland area, there are some other islands of blue amid the sparsely-populated red counties (Ashland, Eugene, Corvallis, etc...). The red areas do indeed drive the GOP primaries, and the effect is just as you say: candidates that are increasingly struggling. Our two Dem senators seem pretty safe.

And what evidence do you have that Sanders will be able to reverse that trend to capture 60% of the remaining share?

...then Bernie wouldn't need to.

The debates against the Republican nominee for President would go a lot better if our candidate can attack the Republican for deception, instead of having to defend all the lies she herself has told the American people.

30. Why is it so important for you to assert that Clinton can't win the GE?
Thu Mar 17, 2016, 11:10 AM
Mar 2016

I disagree with that assertion, but it doesn't bother me to discuss it. Why do you object to discussions about the reality of the rest of the Primary?

Personally, I have no emotional investment in Hillary Clinton; I do cold-hearted, dispassionate analysis of data and make my decisions accordingly (I switched from Clinton to Obama in the middle of the 2008 Primary when the data supported it). Right now, the data tells me that a Sanders Primary win is very unlikely, and a Sanders GE win is less so.

Should the party nominate Clinton, the work will continue outside the party.

We're sure as hell not shutting up, not going away, and not giving up.
