(9,141 posts)If independent were allowed to vote he would have wiped Hillary out. Keep in mind, 53% of the dem votes is not a majority of voters...just dems. Bernie stood for what the majority of voters claim they want according to the polls and unless Hillary stands for some of what the majority of Americans claim they want we will lose this election. So far it is accepted that Hillary stands for the banks and wall street and the 1% more than she does the 99%. "No ability for self reflection"...only a very shallow person would make such a claim. He will not be dismissed or silenced like MSM would like, going all the way to the convention so his populist movement will be heard loud and clear and become part of the dem platform. His 'populist' movement is why he beats Trump by much larger numbers than Hillary according to the polls...because he stands for what the majority want. You're the one who needs some self reflection. BTW...60,000 people showed up for one Bernie rally, 30,000 at another rally...he broke all the records and would easily win the presidency plus down ticket success from all the inspired activists. His political revolution will continue on long after the convention. He has brought so much to the party. but all you see is a horse race.
