Weren't we instructed that Sanders would pass Clinton in Democratic polls as the campaign wore down?

1. What sort of worked in Iowa doesn't seem to be working in CA.

For one thing it's almost over and for another the Trump ticket is upon us. Bernie's message hasn't changed but it's basically a negative message with a little policy filigree on the edges.

[Armstead]

15. No need for negativity when everything is perfect and no need to address issues and problems

[beachbum bob]

2. been over for a long time and sanders keeps conning his supporters

bernie is addicted to the microphone....he can't help it now...ego out of control

[DemocratSinceBirth]

3. His reach does seem to exceed his grasp.

4. It's tough to make predictions, especially about the future. (n/t)

[vi5]

5. He needs to get out now...

...that way people will realize how much they actually love Hillary Clinton. They just don't know it yet. They haven't had a chance to get to know her.

6. Clinton is working to stay positive and expand her base.

Sanders is almost one hundred percent negative and oppositional; time tested way to suppress the vote.

[Trust Buster]

7. Hillary's margin of victory is even larger than it seems. Sanders picked up a lot of delegates

by flooding small caucuses with college students that he promised the world to. Make those caucus states primary states and Sanders would be 500 pledged delegates behind.

8. I don't believe any of the predictions of his acolytes have ever come to pass.

But it didn't stop them from regaling us with them.

[Trust Buster]

9. They behaved like a "Black Friday" crowd with similar motivations IMO.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

10. All this unpleasantness will be coming to an end...

But I expect more lashing out between now and the 15th.

13. It's been my observation that the farther one moves from the political center in either direction,

the greater the levels of narcissism and intolerance appear.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

14. ...

Look how famously Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union got along until they didn't.

[Trust Buster]

17. I love that graphic. I have always thought that the extreme Right and extreme Left actually

start converging on the opposite side of the center in temperament, intolerance and narcissism.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

20. Somebody told me it's neo-liberal framing.

The far left and far right have more in common than members of either would like to admit.

[Trust Buster]

21. In temperament but they're obviously are opposite on policy.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

22. Neither ideology holds the sovereignty of the individual at its core.

[Trust Buster]

23. That is true but that is a temperament issue. They think that they're so superior and righteous in

thought that nobody better dare challenge such pure righteousness. Both share Fascist tendencies.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

24. John Stuart Mill was and is my greatest political influence.

I start from the premise that the individual is sovereign.

[Bonobo]

16. Do you believe that "acolytes" is a non-offensive and mature way to refer to people? nt

[Trust Buster]

19. In this case, I do. The more radical and extreme, the more it goes from support to a blind

following.

[Surya Gayatri]

11. K & R. Thanks for posting.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

12. Posting for the truth.

18. l guess the "Bernie is stronger against Trump" argument

Hasn't convinced Democrats
