Next Tuesday DC primary is likely to be Bernie's biggest loss.

[DCBob]

DC has by far the largest African American population (50%) compared to any state. The Clintons are of course very well thought of here and very well connected. I wonder if Bernie will even crack the 15% threshold.

This would be a very embarrassing and disastrous end to his "revolution". He would be smart to end it now while he still has some credibility and leverage.

1. Agree. Writing off the minority vote in March was one of Sanders many huge blunders. nt

[DCBob]

6. He tried but never was able to connect with African Americans.

That was his biggest failing.

[LexVegas]

9. Attacking civil rights icons was a bad effort at connecting. nt

[DCBob]

12. Yep. That wasnt smart.

14. +1, Weaver and Divine admitted not competing in "southern states" & Sanders lost by over 3 mil votes

[Cali_Democrat]

2. That's exactly what I was thinking.

Bernie is gonna get smacked in DC.

[DCBob]

3. No doubt a massive thumping.

He hasnt got a prayer here.

[NurseJackie]

4. I think you're correct about that…

… But ultimately it's Bernie's decision if he wants to go out with a class, or go out with a whimper as he's likely to do in DC.

[Fresh_Start]

8. he won't go out with class or a whimper

he'll go out with a whine

[DCBob]

21. I hope he chooses class.. I suspect he will once he goes back to Vermont and thinks it over quietly.

Fingers x'd!

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

5. Thank you for pointing that out. I feel a lot better now... not.

[DCBob]

22. Its okay.. it will all be over soon!

[Renew Deal]

7. It's also an "establishment" paradise

Rubio and Kasich won big there

[DCBob]

11. Yes there are alot of politically connected smart folks here and they know political reality.

Hillary is our strongest candidate to beat the GOP in the fall and also beat them from the White House once elected.

[democrattotheend]

10. I agree, but I am glad he is still giving them some attention

He is campaigning in a part of town that doesn't get a lot of love from politicians despite being so close to the center of it all.

[DCBob]

15. Those areas are coming back to life like I never thought they would.

I now hang out in places that I would never have gone to just a few years ago. Anacostia, Navy Yards, etc. There are still problems but not much different than any other big inner city.

[uponit7771]

13. DC is a "southern state" though

[DCBob]

16. Yeah... LOL.

[boston bean]

17. I have to question why he would want to go out on a note like that.... This makes me even more

suspicious of his motives at the convention.

[DCBob]

20. Yeah.. its mind boggling why he keeps going.

It really doesn't benefit anyone.. except perhaps the GOP.

[MoonRiver]

18. Good.

He's about to lose every ounce of leverage he formerly had to form policy at the convention. And it is entirely his own fault.

[DCBob]

19. He's already blown alot of leverage.

He should have bowed out weeks ago.
