(5,737 posts)Why is it that Bernie and his followers do not get the fact that a Democrat in the WH isn't enough? They will need at least a Democrat majority in the Senate. Bernie has done nothing to help that happen and that is pathetic.

$176k supposedly to support the TN Democratic Party with local candidates, is instead pushed to the national DNC, where it goes to support it's largest current cash expenditure HRC's campaign.

(12,689 posts)I know where Democrats can win and where they can't, because I have studied it for years. I've studied politics for over 20 years and didn't just plug into it when Bernie Sanders hit the campaign trail.
No one is stealing money, it was given back by a state party that has no use for it at this point. Do you know what Tennessee's legislative and congressional map even looks like? Can you pick Tennessee out on a map? I rest my case.

(12,689 posts)You might think that Bernie Sanders clones could be elected to all the congressional districts there, but in reality that's not going to happen. It's not a liberal state at all.
