The DNC treated Hillary Clinton like an incumbent and failed to provide a slate of possible candidates for the primaries as in 2008.

Hillary Clinton ran a dirty campaign as Clinton did in 2008.

The Democratic party is split and so what if Clinton is the nominee and wins the general election.

The damage is done regardless.

Hillary Clinton supports GOP policies and uses GOP tactics as Clinton is a neo-liberal.

edit added P to arty in the title. oops

Thanks for responses.

She want to lower taxes for the rich and for corporations. Get rid of the EPA and the IRS. Get rid of SS and welfare. She supports GOP policies to a tee. Just to make sure I am being very sarcastic. Very.

In the late 1970s, as large corporations turned into transnational giants, they pumped huge amounts of cash into the political system. This largesse lured, first, the Republican Party, in the 80s, followed by the Democratic Party in the ‘90s, and precipitated a rightward political shift as both parties rewrote their policies to compete for the same corporate contributions.

Before this, from 1932-1976, the Democratic Party as a whole was far more progressive. The issues and approaches advocated today by Bernie Sanders were considered mainstream Democratic ideas by Franklin D. Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy, and Lyndon Johnson, and even many moderate Republicans. It was common to support strict financial regulation, liberal immigration, social services for the poor, and progressive tax policies.

People keep acting like that never happened, or that the DLC didn't form for a reason.

10. Will Sanders win 19 delegates tonight?

That's his target number for West Virginia. He needs to win by +31 to make that number. Clinton's target is 12.

Sanders won Indiana, but lost ground because he did not win by enough. The same thing will happen tonight.
