Any post that insults Bernie is being hidden by Bernie supporters.

(7,629 posts)Another interesting number is what happened on the republican side:

Trump even thought he is the only one left actively campaigning only made 3rd. Rubio won the district of Columbia with Kasich finishing 2nd very close to Rubio.
One more example that the GOP is sick of their own nominee.

(7,629 posts)You are absolutely right. I should have looked more carefully. They voted march 12.

(27,811 posts)Even though I can't stand him and don't trust him, when Marco Rubio spoke after the terrible happenings in Orlando, he actually sounded as if 1) the tragedy actually struck him, and 2) he wasn't batshit crazy. That might have given him a boost, aside from all the other reasons DC would not go to Trump.

System is rigged. Voter suppression. *end sarcasm*

(68,576 posts)he would concede tonight and endorse.
DCBob
(24,689 posts)I think his vid thing on Thurs is the concession.
HarmonyRockets
(397 posts)That's why he is streaming it instead of doing it at a rally. He endorses Clinton at a rally and all hell likely breaks lose. If he were to do that I wouldn't be surprised if some of them actually attacked Bernie or threw things at him. He will not concede at one of his own rallies for the safety of himself and his staff. Not to mention Bernie does not want to go out getting booed by his own supporters. Or getting "sell out" chanted at him or whatever some plan to do if he endorses at a rally.

(891 posts)power to probably sway the election if he pouts too much between now and November.. he just wants to see how many concessions he can weasel out of the party.
Decent tactics but a total lack of class.

But is DC considered the South? If so, does the vote count?

(4,311 posts)I still live in hope that Bernie will do the right thing and concede the race and endorse Hillary this week or next week.
But if I'm wrong, there is certainly no reason for a single superdelegate to change his/her vote. She won pledged delegates, superdelegates, popular vote, and what was it, 11 of the last 15 primaries? More? She is polling in double digits over Trump. She has won decisively and cleanly. And as much as I have NOT subscribed to the whole "Bernie is not conceding because he is sexist" argument up to this point, if he keeps campaigning directly against Hillary after this, well, all bets are off. Save me a pitchfork because I'm gonna be very angry. Because the truth is, if he does that, he would never have done that to a male candidate who won as decisively as Hillary has.
However, as I said above, he hasn't broken any of his promises yet, so I am choosing to believe he will do the right thing.
