the elite dnc's ONLY goal now is to destroy bernie...winning is off the table

even IF hillary manages to steal this rigged nom with supers, and even IF she avoids indictment, both of which are not definite, the numbers are clear..,she is going down down vs trump and his numbers are going up. it will only get worse for her. she cannot win a ge.

the power brokers at dnc know this. she cannot win. but will they do the best thing for the country and whats left of the party and nominate the only person who can win?

of course not. they do not care about the country. its about power. and at this point, they are pissed at bernie because he showed the world what a weak and corrupt candidate and process looks like. he denied her coronation. and the dnc elites will make him pay, country and all of us be dammed. they want to destroy him, period.

make no mistake about it. this is no longer about winning, y'all. its REVENGE, pure and simple.

She win will win 85% of the non-white vote. For Trump to win he needs to get > 66% of the white vote. Only Nixon in 72 and Reagan in 84 ever reached those lofty numbers, and by a hair

NO. TRUMP. FOR. YOU.

I'm a Clinton supporter. I am very happy with her as the nominee so, that said..

What is your point? Are you trying to persuade the majority of Democrats, who have already voted for Hillary, to give the nomination to Bernie?

You repeatedly tell us that you would gladly support whoever the democratic nominee was and also complain that many of us are "Bernie or bust" which could lead to Donald Trump as President.

Therefore unless you are lying, the only logical course is to support Sanders who would receive 100% the democratic votes and many independents. And the inverse is not true.

So can we count on your vote?

keep Bernie out of the White House. There's no doubt that many in the DNC will get plumb positions if Hillary gets into the WH. But priority one is keeping Bernie from slowing down the establishment gravy train.

Additionally, keeping Bernie out of the WH is not good enough. They need to kill his ideas about using taxpayer money to help taxpayers instead of for special interests. Free college and medicare-for-all will decimate the profits of the growing for-profit education industry, student loan industry, the health insurance industry, and big pharma. And boy are they pissed.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Accusing one of our major candidates of cheating and lying is hurting our party. Let's support our party and our nominee - whoever that is going to be.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Sat May 21, 2016, 06:31 PM, and the Jury voted 1-6 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: This is completely idiotic, but it is not against the rules to be a moron.

GD-P will be gone soon - keep the faith!
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: a little strong but still an opinion
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Another silly alert from a Hillary supporter
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: The post is correct
Juror #7 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: There's a better way to make their point
