Only 7 more days of Bernie!

[YouDig]

7 days until the first female major party nominee in US history!

[Armstead]

1. Dream on

[COLGATE4]

2. Thank Odin.

[uponit7771]

4. Yaaaaaay!!

[morningfog]

5. Not quite. Hillary will become the "presumptive nominee" on June 7.

She cannot become the nominee until the convention. Bernie is taking it to the convention with the spectre of the FBI criminal investigation looming in HIllary's shadow.

This won't be over until the floor vote.

[geek tragedy]

6. this is true, Bernie still has a lot of dignity and goodwill he has the option of throwing away nt

[morningfog]

12. HIllary has a lot of unresolved liability lingering.

[geek tragedy]

14. On June 7, she will be the presumptive nominee and on June 14 the primary race

will be over, with her winning and him losing.

He can be a team player, or he can be a dead end sore loser. His call.

[Fawke Em]

17. Good luck without his followers in the fall.

Bernie supporters see no evidence of your candidate welcoming them into (or back into, as the case may be) the party, so have fun with the FBI, Trump, faltering poll numbers and indifferent voters. Berners will be out there trying to pull the Democratic Party back to where it should be: representing the working class with FDR-like policies and not corruptly catering to the top 10 percent.

[geek tragedy]

18. Most Sanders supporters recognize the need to defeat Trump.

The dead enders are a small minority

[mac56]

31. Most Sanders supporters recognize that a Hillary nomination

is the best way to lose to Trump.

It's almost like the Hillary campaign wanted to follow Bernie's, and adopt a bird as its symbol.

Unfortunately, that bird is an ostrich.

[AgingAmerican]

35. She needs ALL of them

Not some or most.

[rock]

34. Bazinga!

Point on!

[cali]

7. You really aren't too.....

[mac56]

10. Piece work rates.

You gotta go for saturation.

[Matt_in_STL]

11. I do wonder how much of the million dollars one could get for 1,500 posts.

I have to imagine it is a pretty decent amount, especially since they emphasize quantity over quality.

[ucrdem]

9. 50 shades of go away

[bravenak]

73. !

[mac56]

13. Clearly you've forgotten Geraldine Ferrarro.

Not your fault, you probably weren't born yet.

[reflection]

22. .

[Blue_Adept]

25. She was the nominee in the primary process for the Presidency?

"Mondale selected Ferraro to be his Vice-Presidential candidate on July 12, 1984. "

But hey, if you want to call being selected by the nominee to be the VP to be the same as the grueling battle that's going on now to earn the nominee position, go right ahead.

[mac56]

29. If I may quote

"7 days until the first female major party nominee in US history!"

[Demsrule86]

46. She was a VP nominee

Not a presidential nominee...what do they teach you in school these days?

[casperthegm]

15. Um, I have bad news for you

Bernie is a great guy, with a great message, but this ain't about Bernie. It's about his message. And that message isn't going away.

Neither are the millions of people who have heard it. Once again, we have an example of the Democratic party thinking small, short term. Sure, your establishment, corporate sponsored candidate may win the nomination, but the party has lost its way. We will either help the party see this, or if it declines to listen, we will move on. I believe the latter will be the end result and both sides will be quite satisfied with that. I know I will.

[hack89]

16. Unfortunately his message didn't resonate with a wide swath of Democratic voters

there are entire demographic groups that overwhelmingly rejected his message. So it would appear his message does not appeal to a broad enough slice of the American public to be a game changer.

[casperthegm]

20. Are you sure?

Let's keep in mind that a large number of primaries were closed, keeping millions of independent voters from participating. We can debate whether or not that was a wise decision on the part of the DNC. What is not debatable is that independent voters overwhelmingly support Bernie's message; the evidence is clear when you look at the national polls for the GE, where he handily beats Trump while Hillary is neck and neck with him.

So, essentially, at least half of all registered voters would identify with his message. Dismiss it all you like, but that doesn't strike me as a fringe candidate.

And it give me hope that American citizens realizes that accepting billions from super pacs (while at the same time vowing to eliminate them), supporting fracking, supporting job killing trade agreements, voting for the war in Iraq, proposing no fly zones, opposing Glass Steagall, opposing healthcare for all, and opposing free tuition for college IS NOT what the Democratic party is about. I mean seriously, which one of these issues is not found on the gop platform? None. And yet they are are all embraced by Hillary. And that is why I'm glad to see so many people have gotten the message and will continue to fight for what is right. It's far from over. The fight is just beginning.

[hack89]

21. And true independents are a much smaller group than you will admit to.

the demographics of independents have been studied for decades. They divide into three groups - those that will ultimately vote Dem, those that will ultimately vote Republican, and those that are truly independent of any party. That last group is about 20% of all independents. I see that dynamic play out all the time in Rhode Island - declared independents are the largest group of voters yet we consistently elect Democrats, especially in local elections.

[MohRokTah]

51. I'm sure. Closed primaries only include Democratic voters

and Sanders' message did not resonate with the Democratic voters.

[Algernon Moncrieff]

67. All an independent needs to do is become a Democrat

Voila! They can participate.

Independent voters need to join a party or quit bitching that they are locked out of primaries through their own choice. You can't have it both ways.

[Fawke Em]

26. Actually, it appeals to a broader swath, but most of those people are Independents

who can't vote in Democratic primaries.

But they are people you'll need to appeal to in the Fall. Hillary doesn't much do that.

[hack89]

37. So why did Hillary win more open primaries than Bernie? nt

[MohRokTah]

50. And he's destroying his own message.

He is personally setting Democratic-Socialism back in this country at least a generation.

[brooklynite]

60. Feel free to move on now if you want...

...plenty of real Democrats to fill your spot, and you might want to beat the traffic.

[leeroysphitz]

19. lol YOU wish. Win or lose you're stuck w/ him on the national stage FOR YEARS TO COME. Ha ha. n/t

[WhiteTara]

40. I see him retiring and living off the

money that Jane made...as well as his healthy pension.

[frylock]

55. You need glasses.

[MohRokTah]

53. Not really.

If he continues the way he is going, he will become a pariah and will have no committee assignments in the next Congress.

[leeroysphitz]

59. Magical thinking. n/t

[GreatGazoo]

23. Got a calendar handy because that ain't it.

[hobbit709]

24. But how many more days of you?

[choie]

27. And then you can go back to Brock

for more marching orders.

[libodem]

28. Thanks for the insult

Nice transparency page, 6 hides since you started in April. We used to be booted after 5. Real nice job.

Sure, we will all follow, a good citizen like you, into the fold.

[AgingAmerican]

38. Once they turn the 'vacations' back on, a large swath of Hillary supporters will disappear.

[libodem]

41. .

[CorkySt.Clair]

45. Lol

I think you have it backwards. But to be sure, I think you should challenge the TOS by advocating for Trump or Jill Stein after the primaries are over.

[B Calm]

30. Another divisive post from another Hillary supporter. Hillary can't ignore Bernie

if she expects to have a clear path to victory in November.

[One of the 99]

32. No one is officially the nominee until the convention votes

[aikoaiko]

33. More like only 7 more days of HRC trolls trolling Bernie supporters.

[panader0]

36. What you don't understand is that this is not about Bernie.

He is the voice of the new progressive movement. The issues he has raised will be louder now than before
and will NOT be going away in seven days or ever.

[KingCharlemagne]

39. Only 4 more months until President-elect Trump and the death of

our democratic republic.

Hillary: Adlai Stevenson v. 2.0 (minus the liberalism and great sense of humor).

We are so fucked.

Despicable OP, just like the candidate it supports.

[davidlynch]

42. What are the chances that YouDig could pass the Turing test? n/t

[Bluenorthwest]

43. Excellent question.....

nt

[LexVegas]

44. 7 more days and you'll see peoples desire to continue posting on this site exceed their hate for HRC

[KingCharlemagne]

72. No, you really won't. - nt

[anotherproletariat]

47. Praise the nonexistent gods!! nt

[LAS14]

48. k & r

[frylock]

49. I can't wait for your little deadline to come and go with no changes here on the board.

[YouDig]

52. I'm looking forward to my candidate clinching the nomination. Hope you enjoy.

[frylock]

56. I'm looking forward to your candidate's humiliating press conference..

explaining why she has to drop out in order to focus on her legal issues.

[YouDig]

58. Sure, a little fantasy might help with your grief.

[frylock]

61. The fantasy is believing that Skinner shutting out Sanders supporters makes this all go away.

[B Calm]

62. Especially when the majority of du'ers are Sander supporters. The name underground will have

no meaning. Shut us out and they might as well change the name to Democratic Establishment.

[YouDig]

63. Skinner doesn't make anything go away. The Democratic Delegates will do that.

[workinclasszero]

54. YAY!!!!!!

[NCTraveler]

57. IDig. nt.

[barrow-wight]

64. Yes!

To not have to see that bird anymore!

[AgingAmerican]

65. This won't be resolved until July at the earliest

[YouDig]

66. June comes before July. #berniecalendar

[AgingAmerican]

68. July at the EARLIEST

But potentially long AFTER July

[YouDig]

69. June 7 she clinches. 7 days! Are you excited or what!

[AgingAmerican]

70. Will she have enough pledged delegates in a week?

No

[YouDig]

71. Yes she will! Majority of pledged delegates, majority of total delegates. Clinched!

June 7, mark the date. Get the champagne ready.

[whistler162]

74. I hope the Donald is paying you by the post

and not by the time you have been on this board.
