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.

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.

(934 posts)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.
