(587 posts)I've said it before... the plan is so simple, even a child could understand it.
1) Get ass kicked by Clinton all over America
2) ???
3) Become the nominee!
A simple, 3-step process that guarantees that Bernie WILL be the nominee!

(587 posts)When people post to tell you "I've added you to my ignore list". It says so much more about the person than it does about the poster.
I have exactly zero people on my ignore list. I can't imagine having such a fragile and fearful constitution that I have to hide other people's speech, lest I become offended and lose sleep and find myself unable to function in daily life.
I can't even fathom such a thing. And to suffer that reaction from a sarcastic post? And to be so offended as to tell the person "I'm adding you to my IGNORE list!!!!!"
The mind boggles.
In other words... don't go away mad. Just go away.

BTW...the announcement that someone just made it to your ignore list...why do you do that?

(10,650 posts)What's the time frame on that FBI finding? If it's after the nomination, the ship goes down with Hillary.
leveymg
(36,418 posts)Wrong about 80percent of the time. Most likely time frame for the FBI announcement is after they interview HRC up to a few weeks before the Convention. That's if there is some sort of intelligent succession plan in place. If not, it's going to be chaos and we may end up with President Trump. Gawd forbid.
BillZBubb
(10,650 posts)The Democratic establishment has worked tirelessly to make sure that doesn't happen. Instead we'll get Hillary, one of the least liked GE candidates of all time.
For Bernie, New York was the backbreaker. He needed a win there to make his case to super delegates. He lost and it hurt. Any realistic chance died on that day.
Hillary's legal problems could blow up before the convention but that is even less likely than the minute chances of Bernie winning the nomination at this point.
All that said, Bernie should and will do just what he said--stay in and fight until the last vote is counted. All his supporters have earned the opportunity to vote for him.

(67,102 posts)I'm seriously afraid we'll get Donald. There is a huge void in this country of angry displaced workers. The democratic political machinery should be working this void, but rather a crappy job is being done by the democratic PTB the DNC/DLC/3rd-Way/DWS. In years past this void would have been democratic voters, but today they look at Trump to care about them. This, is a horrific scenario we are witnessing play out and into the hands of a Trump administration. Many longtime democrats feel deserted by the democratic party and some are falling into the Trump trap. It's absolutely so blatantly obvious.

(10,650 posts)trump is so crude, though, that even one of the weakest candidates in modern presidential history might beat him.

(67,102 posts)but all of the critters he would also usher in. I like Bernie, but I will gladly vote for Hillary to keep Trump out. No president IMO is ever perfect. The US could do way far worse than HRC.
