(50,261 posts)Who are you going to blame when Trump beats her? Bernie, of course. He's your scapegoat. You should be nicer to him.

But, let's live in a fantasy world where limited name recognition, institutional constructs, and media bias didn't exist.

(3,937 posts)But Clinton, with the DNC completely behind her, has not been able to break away from Trump (who until recently had most of the GOP establishment against him) or from Sanders, who has been sandbagged by the DNC and the MSM.

(11,986 posts)The stronger candidate for the general election does not necessarily get the nomination, because the people who vote in the primary are not representative of those who vote in the general.

(45,251 posts)the start of her every show and appearance, I am glad Bernie exposed her.
NBC fired Maria Shriver, who was basically doing occasional lifestyle pieces, when her husband ran for Governor. Andrea Mitchell has a daily news show (or what passes for same these days) and appears as an expert on shows like MTP without so much as a disclosure of potential conflicts of interest.

(1,258 posts)And lets not forget disenfranchisement tactics worthy of Republicans: caging, purging, flipping, disinformation. And then there are the nonprofit slush funds, conjoined Superpac/DNC local state campaigns, Conjoined Superpac/internet campaigning and propaganda machine, and now I've learned about alphabet buddy who - what? - gives free or below market tech services to run the campaign/get out the vote/sway voters/collect big data on voters.
I don't give all the credit to Bernie's rise to Bernie. Some of it is the fall of Hillary thanks to Hillary. And what's with those long jackets she wears? Is there something wrong with her health? Why doesn't she let people see her boarding a plane?

(1,258 posts)But the vote counting anomalies are real. The voting irregularities are real. They look like Republican tactics. Very disturbing.
How am I denigrating the voter? The candidate has a lot of negatives, things I personally don't believe reflect the Democratic Party. She is attempting to be our candidate for President. Of course I can debate her merits.
I'm not denigrating the party, either, just the DLC which is a faction that took over my party. Real Democrats always debate with each other. Only Republicans fall in line behind the more powerful faction.
Sorry, I won't act like a Republican.

(2,064 posts)Her bias is clear. She's a corporate/Wall Street shill, nothing more. She wouldn't piss on a poor person if they were on fire.

(30,247 posts)Let's forget that more Democrats have voted for her than have voted for Sanders. Let's also forget her large pledged delegate advantage.
After I vote for her on June 7, I expect a check from her campaign. How much do they owe me?
