Democratic Primaries
Related: About this forumPundits on MSNBC freaking out about "what are they (Dems) going to do" about Bernie.
Here's an idea. How about people stop bashing him?
How about no more "central park executions" and "body language experts" and "how can any woman support Bernie" and "he's always so grumpy and angry" and "he's not a real Democrat" and "oh no the Bernie Bros"? Maybe actually listen to him and his supporters and treat them with respect instead of as some kind of interloper with a cult following?
Would that really be so hard?

(5,372 posts)I honestly think people who are complaining about Bernie not being a democrat would have rather had him run as an independent, split the vote and assure that no one from the left would have a shot in the general election.

(51 posts)You had better be ready for this shit because it's about to come down in droves.
And Sanders had better win this thing in November because the stakes are too high to fail. And I for one am not going to tolerate you people blaming the media, and the DNC if he loses.
You think your guy can do better than Hillary? Prove it. Show us.

(15,601 posts)Ive been here since 2004, and things always get a little crazy during primary season, but this year all bets are off IMHO.
Its not just MSNBC, Folks here are getting desperate and panicky...
If the majority of voters arent voting for Bernie, the only mathematical solution is for every candidate to drop out, except for one, before Super Tuesday, which would then allow Sanders and the remaining candidate to compete, with one of them surely obtaining a majority of delegates.
If Sanders is truly a no-chance-in-hell-to-win-in-November, then the other candidates must put their egos aside and draw straws, flip a coin, or otherwise decide who will stay in the race to fight for the nomination. If they dont, and Sanders gets the nomination, they have no one to blame but themselves.
Since early voting has already started in many Super Tuesday states, it may already be too late- the other candidates are likely staking their chances on deal making at a brokered convention, since none of them will have a majority, let alone more delegates than Sanders, going in to the convention.
I hope those who are certain Sanders would lose in November have also considered the risks of selecting someone other than the delegate leader at the convention, a move that David Plouffe said would take the Democratic Party a generation to recover from.
I think many MSNBC pundits, as well as many DUers need to prepare for the bumpy ride ahead...
