When this is all over...

[GoldenThunder]

...I sincerely hope that those who are running Hillary's campaign learn this valuable lesson: When you go ahead and burn that bridge, make sure you're actually off of that bridge first.

[DrDan]

1. Be sure to stand safely away as you watch dejectedly from the sideline

[GoldenThunder]

2. In all my life...

...I've never witnessed a campaign so willing and eager to alienate it's own base that the 2016 Clinton campaign.. Those disaffected and alienated are going to play a ar larger role in the GE than Hillary's firewall in the Confederacy.

[NCTraveler]

14. The base is why Clinton has won.

Who are you defining as the base?

[GoldenThunder]

15. Millions of hard working Americans.

Who believe in a living wage for a full-time job. A fair and just legal system. A foreign policy that's more diplomatic, less "We came, we saw, HE DIED". And who hold fast to the principle which is taken for granted everywhere else in the developed world, that health care is a human right.

It is also a group you may no longer take for granted.

[NCTraveler]

17. You did not define the base in any meaningful way.

The base is why Clinton is winning. She has a better message for minorities and women.

Again, who are you defining as the Democratic Party base? White male independents?

[Demsrule86]

31. Well I am sure

that Trump will provide all those things...plus wonderful court picks...indeed. (sarcasm)

[bahrbearian]

16. Clinton Wins, America Looses, Thanks to Hillary we get Trump

[NCTraveler]

19. I understand you are working with impressive crystal balls.

Sanders is losing the primary big time. Must be easy to just make wild speculative claims.

[aikoaiko]

25. Not losing primary "big time". That award goes to OMalley.

Bernie is still garnering 40 - 45% of the votes and delegates. That's not a big time loss.

[NCTraveler]

45. Yes, it is. Hundreds of delegates and millions of votes. Big time.

Clearly that goes for O'Malley as well. I wish he was still around. He had his best showing in KY.

[Demsrule86]

32. Bernie gave us Trump

And will never be forgiven.

[Exilednight]

33. how the hell did Bernie do that?

[GoldenThunder]

35. So even you admit...

...Hillary has no chance against Herr Donald. YOU made the wrong choice. This disaster is fully YOURS AND YOURS ALONE.

[Ash_F]

23. You realize that nearly 50% of the party has voted for the the other guy?

[DrDan]

30. In all my life I have never seen

A group so concerned about what they will or will not get frim a candidate

[Armstead]

12. Better to be watching from the sideline than crashing into the water from the burning bridge

[Katashi_itto]

26. Agree!

[boston bean]

3. I think it's more like Bernie supporters light a torch to the bridge and then blame others

for them getting berned.

[grossproffit]

5. They're perpetual victims.

[Armstead]

13. gee sounds like someone else's use of language

[grossproffit]

18. To quote BS supporters "A broken clock is right twice a day."

[Ash_F]

24. Here's a victim

https://theintercept.com/2016/03/17/hillary-clintons-indefensible-stance-on-the-death-penalty/

[HumanityExperiment]

10. ...

Torch = progressive / liberal ideology

Bridge = Establishment corporatist DEMs and leadership

If HRC and her supporters can't wrap their head around closing the primaries out in the weakest of campaign matchups, that's on them and their candidate.... BLAME INDEED... look in the mirror

[Demsrule86]

34. Not even close

Truth...St. Bernie lost...now let the tantrums begin...spite and selfishness.

[HumanityExperiment]

44. Close...

so close you're standing on the X on that bridge with the flames raging around ya

'St. Bernie lost...now let the tantrums begin...spite and selfishness'

OPs post... '...I sincerely hope that those who are running Hillary's campaign learn this valuable lesson: When you go ahead and burn that bridge, make sure you're actually off of that bridge first.'

'nuff said, thx for playin'

[uponit7771]

41. They're Bern Victims; people who listen to fantasy and ooze hateful actions because they're desperat

[grossproffit]

4. More delusions of grandeur.

[GoldenThunder]

9. When all of those "Too Big to Fail" banks in Hillary's corner finally catastrophically collapse...

...all at once. You'll be begging for the good ol' days when it was only a cranky old Senator and his ragtag bunch of misfits who were rattling your cage.

[bahrbearian]

20. But But, Dodd- Frank ,Dodd-Frank That'll protect us , We can always breakup the banks later.

[workinclasszero]

6. BoB sucks

Trump loves it though.

[GoldenThunder]

7. Trump loves the fact...

...that Hillary can't beat him.

[workinclasszero]

11. Welcome to ignore

If I want to read republican propaganda Ill go to freakrepublic and cut out the hypocrisy.

Bye-bye

[bahrbearian]

21. Call it Skinner!

[GoldenThunder]

27. Good luck.

I hope you will do just as well a job of ignoring the cataclysm of a collapsing economy embedded within a collapsing empire embedded within a collapsing ecosystem.

It's hard to fight for that last bottle of clean water with your fingers glued inside your ears.

[Demsrule86]

36. Yeah it will be a shitstorm

If you all manage to elect Trump because you can't have Bernie.

[leftynyc]

22. That's why he's trying to convince

Bernie to run as an Indy - because he's so sure he can beat Hillary. Do you even hear yourself sounding so ridiculous?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

39. Your powers of prognostication are risible.

Trump loves the fact...

...that Hillary can't beat him.

Your powers of prognostication are risible.

My current odds for tonight.

Hey, I work in a casino. Why not place a few betting lines?

FLORIDA Clinton by 13.5%

ILLINOIS Clinton by 4.8%

MISSOURI Sanders by 7.2%

NORTH CAROLINA Clinton by 9.5%

OHIO Sanders by 3.0%


Let's see how I stack up against the pros.


PS: For entertainment purposes only. Neither DU nor the DNC condones gambling. It does keep a roof over my head, though.

Two wrong winners and lines that weren't even close.

Let's see how I stack up against the pros.

-Golden Thunder

Not well.

[azurnoir]

43. No Trump doesn't in fact Trump's folks have told me that the deciding not to vote, voting 3rd party

or being a BoB is the exact same as a vote for Hillary - seriously I hadn't laughed that hard in days

eta if anyone want to claim I support Trump it's like this there are unfortunately Trump supporters in my extended family

[Arkansas Granny]

8. Hillary is not the one who is berning the bridge.

[TDale313]

28. You're wrong about that.

She and her supporters most certainly are. And here's the truth: they need us in November. They have fanned the flames rather than trying to put them out or diffuse the situation. They keep doing shit the reinforces the Bernie supporters impression that they're rigging this process and have total distain for the nearly half the party that supports him and his policies even when they don't have to.

Yeah, Bernie supporters are pissed. And they have good reason. And if you think continuing to dismiss and disrespect and smear them is a winning strategy you're just wrong. The party is going to need to adapt or it will die. You guys have far more to win by being a little gracious in victory and more to lose in the long run by antagonizing the Sanders wing of the party. Oh, and btw- she will most likely win the nomination but we're not going away and this struggle for the direction of the country and party does not end in July or November. We're in it for the long haul.

[Demsrule86]

38. I asume by disrespect you mean

not nominate St. Bernie even though he lost by all measures?

[uponit7771]

42. +1

[Demsrule86]

29. Sorry

You think destroying the election for Democrats by being spiteful and angry will hurt us...shows your complete selfish nous...you and Bernie don't care a bit about the millions you will hurt if Trump becomes president...so spare me your preachy BS. How you just can't bring yourself to vote for Hillary but...left unsaid...Trump is just fine with you...I grew up in Connecticut. My Dad worked in the same circle as Trump did and he is a piece of shite. Bernie's supporters and Bernie the candidate seriously make me want to heave. I sincere hope that every Bernie supporter who doesn't vote or votes for Trump...or Stein (same thing) suffers doubly under Trump, you earned it...as for Bernie...I hope never to see his face again politically speaking. I am a liberal and would be very interested starting with state elections ...grassroots working to pull the party left. But I would never be involved with anything that has anything to do with Bernie...besides if Trump gets in, why would I waste my time...with all the court picks there can be no progressive revolution. Thanks Bernie for what the so-called indies always provide in real achievements...nothing.

[Robbins]

37. no it's you clinton sypporters who don't care

about the people.myself and many americans will be screwed by republicans and corporate dems alike.

Clintons can go to hell for all I care.i hate them as much as i do republicans.

you calim to be liberal but like clinton supporters you are fine with moving to the right as long as she wins.

Untill 2016 the clintons were best buddys with trump.so spare me your attacks.

your own candiate says she doesn't need us bernie supporters so it shouldn't matter if we stay home on election day.

[GoldenThunder]

40. This sums it all up quite nicely.
