Are we seriously going to get a thread when some unknown endorses Sanders? We could fill the entire

front page with people (let alone unions) who have endorsed Clinton

[merrily]

1. We got a thread each time someone endorsed Hillary and no one complained. Begrudge much?

Small

[UglyGreed]

2. Geez we

had a Hillary xmas shopping thread

[merrily]

16. How many on her (eye roll) box of household products?

[UglyGreed]

40. I've lost count

so many threads so little time

[arcane1]

52. Oh god, I had forgotten about that nonsense.

[jeff47]

8. Nah, we got at least 4 threads each time someone endorsed Clinton. (nt)

[merrily]

10. You're so right. I misspoke. I promise to be more careful next time.

[Segami]

14. Followed by polls of other polls...

[still_one]

53. You're right

[merrily]

55. Appreciate it, still_one

[Kentonio]

3. I was just thinking how nice it was

That the Hillary thread about being in NH with Dean was just filled with happy Hillary supporters enjoying the photos and no sniping going on in there. Then I see this thread..

[snooper2]

4. Only if you promise to comment on each one

[LexVegas]

5. I'm interested in the next obscure rapper that endorses him. It will turn the minority tide. nt

[NCTraveler]

6. I was told to delete my list of Clinton endorsements....

As it was so long people claimed it was crashing their phones. lol.

[HerbChestnut]

7. Well, we probably weren't before.

But we sure as hell are going to now!

[merrily]

12. 6-8 threads per endorsement of Sanders seems right, since the fix is obviously in for someone else.

[NurseJackie]

20. HA! Yes, obviously it's fixed. That it! What else could it be?

[merrily]

24. Of course not. The handwriting hasn't been on that wall for years at all.

No totally obvious signs. No pressure on Democrats to endorse. No fixing of the debate school. No media cooperation. Nothing! It's just been one uphill battle after another.

[NurseJackie]

30. I know! Exactly. (You forgot to mention landlines and cellphones. That's a biggie.)

I've never seen a candidate with such rotten luck! Man, he just can't catch a break for trying. It's totally unfair!

[merrily]

31. Cellphones and landlines have nothing to do with the fix having been in for years.

Try to track.

[NurseJackie]

38. But Bernie is such a strong candidate, but not for the cellphone-thing, the polls would

... reflect how popular he really is. (It couldn't be any more obvious that this is just one element of the "fix". Probably orchestrated by that powerhouse, DWS. She controls everything! It's like she's some Bond villainess.)

[merrily]

39. Again, try to track. It really shouldn't be as hard as you're making it seem.

[NurseJackie]

43. I think you understand better than you think I think you think I do. ;-)

And I, for one, am completely relieved to learn about this "fix" thing. And on top of that, to find out that the fix has been in place for YEARS.

I mean, seriously, WHO KNEW? How could I not have known this before now? I wish I'd known sooner.

All this time I've been worrying over nothing! And it's not because I lacked any confidence in DWS. I mean, she really IS a powerhouse. It just never occurred to me that it could actually be done!

I think I'm more amazed than anything. You've got to hand it to her! Well done, Debbie! Well done!

[merrily]

44. Anyone with a brain whose eyes and ears and mind were open knew.

[NurseJackie]

45. But I do have one other question.

Why would Bernie and his fans keep going? If it's fixed then there's no reason to try. If there's a reason to try, then it's not really fixed.

[merrily]

46. specious sophistry and logical fallacies

[NurseJackie]

48. Well, that's a good working title for your explanation. But where's the rest?

[merrily]

49. Says it all.

[NurseJackie]

50. As I expected. A big bucket of nothin' ...

[merrily]

56. Awww, don't be so hard on yourself!

[NurseJackie]

59. Try to track!

[VanillaRhapsody]

32. "the fix is in"

It can't possibly be because most Democrats just like someone else more...

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

9. I don't vote based on endorsements or polls.

Or, ethnicity, or gender, or age, or shoe size.

[merrily]

11. I vote on hair. Once Chafee dropped out, I switched to Sanders.

All the rest have boring hair. Well, exempt Trump, but his is not interesting, just repulsive.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

13. I can boast that I have hair very much like Sanders.

About the same on the head. But, I also have some on my chin.

And, I'm also a (Gasp!!) Socialist.

[merrily]

15. Thanks to Sanders' opening my eyes, I realized I am at least a Democratic Socialist.

My hair is not like Sanders, but it's never been easy to get along with, either.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

17. I might very well vote for you for being a Socialist and forgive you your hair.

[merrily]

21. Not I! I'm the Sherman candidate: If nominated, I will not run; if elected, I will not serve.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

28. Awww, shucks.

[merrily]

33. Purist!

[Ed Suspicious]

18. H> is perfectly coiffed.

The interest on the cost of her haircut on a credit card could buy me numerous cuts at the barber shop.

[merrily]

19. Call Sanders old and mock his hair all you want, but mentioning Hillary's age or hair is sexist.

Or so we were told over and over long before Hillary even announced.

[Ed Suspicious]

23. If sanders paid hundreds for his hairdo I'd give him no pass.

I just think H> dresses like the spectators in the hunger games. When Bernie dons a hot pink suit, he's going to get an earful from me for his lack of professionalism and his disregard for the seriousness of the position he seeks.

[merrily]

26. No one gave Bubba or Edwards a pass for their haircuts, but Hillary is different.

[Segami]

22. HAHAHAHA.....Aaaah,..

..........

[WillyT]

27. Thread Win !!!

[merrily]

29. I'd like to thank the Academy.

[msongs]

25. well Ive read right HERE on the DU that ENDORSEMENTS mean nothing. particuarly entertainers. nt

[NurseJackie]

34. Whoever said that was probably right.

With regard to the celeb endorsement influencing undecided voters, that is. But it's still a great deal of fun for the people who ALREADY support the candidate. (But, I guess the level of fun depends on how well-known the celeb actually is. And that could be a generational thing too.)

[merrily]

36. If replying as that post deserves were worth a hide, you'd no doubt get at least 20 replies.

[Attorney in Texas]

35. Black endorsements matter

Of course, Clinton prefers the endorsements of party insiders and non-humans (like unions which endorse a candidate notwithstanding widespread dissent from its actual human members).

[aidbo]

37. Unrec. How is this not meta?

[morningfog]

58. It is, but the Hosts don't do their job.

[cherokeeprogressive]

41. ...

[Godhumor]

42. I post every time I see HRC gets a new endorsement. It is part of what GDP is for

They should post when Bernie gets good news, the same as we do.

[Armstead]

54. I'm not sure I can handle all this niceness from you

The universe seems out of whack.

[giftedgirl77]

47. What a dumb, stupid, pointless OP.

[Hiraeth]

51. seriously.

[morningfog]

57. Whiney meta post.

[Bluenorthwest]

60. By unknown you seem to mean artists, particularly minority artists.

Because all the elected officials for Hillary certainly get threads here and they should she's got lots of them and that's one of her strengths. But the thing is when you do post every last endorsement breathlessly you should expect the other side to do the same.
