If the fever dreams of his supporters was realized and Clinton was removed. Having that many delegates does mean something.

Having Biden or some other party insider get the nod might be enough to throw the election.

Fri May 13, 2016, 05:37 PM
May 2016

most Sanders supporters are discussing. I was a delegate at our District Convention and these views (and the topic of the FBI investigation) were frequently discussed.

Setting that aside, it would be interesting to know the party rules on this. My understanding is that Clinton's pledged delegates are hers. She has earned them. They won't go to Bernie, by default. They are not his. Clinton can instructor her delegates to support another candidate. Chances are, most of her national pledged delegates would follow her lead.

This is why I strongly believe our party should be openly discussing this. Shouldn't we at least familiarize ourselves with the rules and talk about possible outcomes?

I think a lot of Bernie supporters erroneously believe that if Clinton is out, Bernie is the nominee by default. It's my understanding that this is not the case.

I think FOR THE GOOD IF OUR DEMOCRATIC PARTY--we need to have open discussions without people ridiculing others for bringing up the subject. There's too much at stake!

Just my 2 cents.

A well of discontented, out-of-sorts grumblers who are good for a few bucks in response to the latest outrage, over and over again. Hey, gotta make sure the well is in good working order, because those four years without rainfall are long and hard! If the well is dug deep enough, MoveON can still drink it all in! Gotta pay those salaries, cover those expenses, pay for all that "fundraising," after all!

MoveON has really devolved into another crew that should just cut the pretense, and adopt the slogan:

How many emails were retroactively classified? huh? The entire premise of the petition is null and void. She won't be indicted, the President has said as much.

Give it up...

I'll answer for you. You have no idea what law Hillary Clinton broke, and you have zero evidence to prove up anything except your hatred of Hillary Clinton.

Tug at your heartstrings, tug at your wallet!

Those clowns don't make $666K bucks a year for putting up these MoveOn petitions for nothing--they EARN their money! They even go out of their way to make sure your ISP won't block 'em, too--so they can get to you with their pleas for cash!

To make the most of e-mail messaging, Kane says each build of ActionKit has its own dedicated IP address. Internet service providers have IP addresses as well as domains on their whitelists (of e-mail servers whose outgoing mail is always allowed to reach the ISP's clients because the ISP trusts the server to regulate its outgoing traffic) and blacklists (stopping all e-mail from a server because the ISP believes that server is being or may be used by spammers) by IP. In theory, this eliminates any risk of a client's broadcast e-mails being blacklisted thanks to the missteps of another client.

I believe she was trolling du at one point in time she claims she was lynched here. Does anyone know who she was here before being given the boot?

"I knew it was all over. That is when I immediately began posting stories about how we were duped by Obama on DU and I was lynched by the community." That is from the questionably Sane Progressive.

Her political writings are absolutely horrendous.

or parking tickets. They also, apparently, do not do "security inquiries." It's the Federal Bureau of INVESTIGATION. Therefore, one can logically assume crimes are involved. I'm taking it a step further and assuming they weren't all committed by Human Abedin.
