we are virtually tied with Clinton.
Super tuesday will give us a clue to as where we are at.
Until then, quit your whining!
We are in for the long haul!
Virtually tied in the national polls and Clinton just won this by a few points.
Considering where we were 2 months ago, we are kicking ass!!

The question is can Clinton's southern, "black voter firewall" strategy get her enough delegates to win the nomination.

(5,792 posts)that is controlling it now. The crimes, the fraud, the elitist stomping on the average American. We need to take our Democracy back by staying together and demanding that the criminals get out of our government. If Bernie loses...any chance for our Democracy I fear is gone. I think this is more serious than any other election previous. I am serious!

(23,867 posts)And I heard a highly reputable older woman economist second Naom's comment that Bernie is a New Dealer. I originally took issue with that a bit, but whatever it is it's the arrangement that works best for the people. We want to democratize our economy so we can more fully participate. It's empowering, not frightening. But it's like lots of things. I see it like physical therapy. Slow and painful, but worth it in the end.
I was watching comments on the Bernie tv 2016 youtube channel, and after initially getting upset, people began talking about the infrastructure Occupy created, among other thiings, and lots of good stuff like being able to support a campaign through individual supporters. So if this fails, we have to stay on course, with all of these fantastic people we have discovered through the campaign. We're the core Democrats. There's no reason to be tossed out. There are enough new people who care about humane values of a society that I think we can be optimistic, and look at a longer picture. Its hard to do, but I think it's about the only way we can remain intact to improve democracy in the country,

Look at the polls as to where we were and where we are in the last few months.
Trust me, the Clinton camp is rattled and surprised by our fundraising ability.
SC won't be easy. But set your sights on super tuesday.
Like a football team en route to the superbowl there are battles and losses, but nobody really knows till the end.
and this was a 27 to 28 game and Hillary won by a last minute field goal. A blip on the radar screen.

(11,546 posts)and when people say that they find the race "fascinating", it upsets me. I find this race distressing. If she wins, then I know that we have NO chance for a real change. Corporate governance, constant war, bought elections.. same ol' same ol'. And they laugh at us and pat themselves on the back. WTF??

Canada's Cape Breton Will Welcome American Refugees Fleeing President Trump
Rob Calabrese, a radio host in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, has set up a website called "Cape Breton If Donald Trump Wins" that pitches the island as a new home for anyone seeking refuge.
"Hi Americans! Donald Trump may become the President of your country!" a welcome message on the website reads. "If that happens, and you decide to get the hell out of there, might I suggest moving to Cape Breton Island!"
Calabrese told the National Post he's already received hundreds of emails from Americans interested in moving to the island.
Im in disbelief, he said. I wish everyone from Cape Breton could read them because they really make you proud of living here.
The website explains some of the reasons an American might want to consider moving to the island:
