2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumLove the posts about how weak Hillary is because she's only winning by 270 delegates.
"Bernie Sanders is such a worthless candidate, Hillary should be destroying him! His policies are out of a Mad Max movie, he's got the charisma of a stone, he scares kids in the street when he walks by, he thinks "Starbucks" is a bank for astronauts and "Russia" means going really fast, and when he plays cards with his kids, they have to let him win or he starts breaking dishes.
And Hillary's only beating him by 270. No way can we nominate her. So who? Bernie Sanders!"

(15,805 posts)Most of them are so confused they still don't understand the differences between pledged and super delegates. The media is chewing Sanders into bloody bits because he is causing more harm than good at this point. After Nevada, the number of op eds from big news sites calling for him to get out is growing every day. Even his former fans are stepping forward and saying they feel duped.
The only argument Bernie's followers can make is to whine about losing by pretending they were robbed and ripped off. They can't handle criticism, and anyone who points out that Sanders is running a scam, must be a professional raconteur.

(1,446 posts)Given how Sanders has been disparaging the party, he's not ever getting most of those votes.
Didn't he ever go to candidate school? (Hint: Don't criticize people who you need to vote for you.)
